I am a season ticketholder ('C' Preferred) and appreciate that I had the ability to purchase a number of extra tickets to individual games. We do not buy seasons for our kids yet as we just bring them to day/weekend games so the presale enables me to get decent seats for them, my brother and his kids, etc. 8 is a fair limit. It is a benefit of being a season ticketholder and I do not begrudge anyone from selling any of their tickets on the secondary market.
Going into last week my plan was to buy the family packs (2 ADULT + 2 YOUTH) for the Duke, UNC, Pitt, NC ST, Nova, Miami, and Clemson games.
Last Monday I called up to the box office asked if there was going to be a season ticketholder pre-sale as in previous years. They guy told me 'probably' and that it might be on Monday or Tuesday of this week.
Didn't leave me with much confidence, and since I was heading away for long holiday weekend I wanted to make sure I was covered for the Duke game.
So last week I purchased 8 of the $160 six packs when they went on sale (3 for friend, 3 for my kids at adult prices, 2 extra) to cover myself for the Duke game (also got Pitt and NC St plus three scrub games). Got decent upper level seats court side low rows.
After I bought those the email came on Friday morning announcing today's presale. Figured great I'll grab the family packs for the remaining games (especially UNC) today.
Logged in today for the pre-sale. No family packs in MyCuse account. Call the box office. Busy signal all morning. Checked single games and only seats available for UNC. Got work to do, meetings, etc so finally just got back around to calling the box office. She tells me family packs are only available in person or over the phone (that isn't what their email said) and that Duke and UNC packs are sold out.
So, I'm going to put the Duke tickets I bought up on StubHub tonight (they came in the mail today) to cover the $$ I'm going to have to pay to buy some UNC tickets on StubHub...another wonderful experience with the Carrier Dome box office...
That's strange information about the family packs. They did not tell me that over the phone last week. And you can buy family packs online for football right now. I have not seen basketball family packs being offered yet and I assumed they would go on sale tomorrow. The only information on their website is that they go on-sale in October. I think a bunch of people will be upset if they don't see them online in the morning.
