Selling Tickets

Ugh, there were so many Buckeyes in section 34 today. Just disgusting. Luckily the super obnoxious one in front of me left after her friend got kicked out (either for being too drunk, having alcohol in the stadium, or sitting the wrong seats...they did all three!).

OSU fans have made it brutal to go into their stadium and they know it, no one wants to go in there and cheer for their own team. Other fanbases don't act like uncivilized monsters, they know this also and spend their fucking useless lives on tickets/hotels to road games

...also true that stadium security and police in Ohio are pretty lax/tend to look the other way in Columbus when the home fans take their frustrations out on the visitors? It seems like this lack of public safety is a big problem for visiting fans.

Why do we keep inviting rivals full marching bands to play louder than ours??? And play halftime shows??? And play pregame shows and make our rivals feel at home?

...we're the nice guy betas of the P5 football world.

To your point, the space for visiting bands should be cut in half. That way they can have a presence without trying to compete with/overshadow the MMB.

I was shocked by how many season ticket holders offered to sell me their tixs for this game and Mich state.It makes no sense to me to have season tixs if you you don't want to go too the two biggest games on our schedule.

Michigan has one of the worst fan bases in the country. And i'm not talking about the 90,000 that show up every game. It's the 10-15,000 aholes that sell their tickets to make a buck.

Did they not see PSU last week. The whole stadium was white. We have a maze out and even give shirts away and the dickweeds won't even put them on.

Meanwhile there are a shit ton of people who would love to go, but can't get tickets any way other than the secondary market because alums who don't go (or go and really don't care that much) get first crack at season tickets. Perhaps a solution is ending that particular entitlement mentality and opening up those tickets to people who really want to be there.

I think Dave Brandon tried that.

I hate Dave Brandon with the heat of a thousand suns for what he did to this program, but if he did try that it was (perhaps) the one good idea that he had.

Who are you to tell someone they don't really want to be there?

If you're selling your ticket(s) for the Ohio State game so that you can recoup your season ticket cost outlay, you don't want to be there. You can't be seriously arguing with that.

You can get season tickets pretty easily even without being an alum. It's gotten a lot better, but they still aren't exactly the hottest ticket in town like they were in the 90's.

I sit in section 17. There were no visiting vans around me ALL season. Even for the msu game. But today i was surrounded by red. That just put me in a bad mood from the start, and the day sure didn't get much better.
