Give up your seats

[HarrisonJBounel]

Those so called "SU fans" with good seats who sold them to UNC fans on stubhub and elsewhere just to back a buck, should just give them up.

Meh. Depends how much they got for them.

We all know what we are. Then it just becomes a matter of negotiating the price.

So if we were playing Cornell and a Cornell fan purchased the tickets, would we have an issue with that?

Bees, respectfully...ridiculous.

Some people can't make all games. Some people don't just give 'em to the neighbor next door in order to recoup part of their SU Donation.

And thank goodness. Because people like me flood to StubHub to see if I can go to SYRACUSE-duke to buy two.

It's capitalism and reality.

 

[JackBauer44]

Get ready for the same with Duke. If you look at the Raleigh Craigslist under tickets, you can see SU fans trying sell 100 level and courtside seats at the dome.

Those are ticket brokers not SU fans.

Waiting...

 

[anomander]

that was pretty damn embarrassing.

 

[JohnCuse44]

What if they couldn't make it to the game? Sure they didn't know who they were selling them to and even if they did its their right. And what difference does it make those UNC fans got to see there team get blown out. BFD

Let's out these carbetbaggers.

It is capitalism. But I have no doubt everyone of those people know someone that would have loved to have gone to that game.

Btw, are you going to make it to the Duke game?

 

[310Pigpen]

I saw a lot of SU fans walking to the dome with a UNC fan tagging along. I would NEVER bring an opposing fan to a game, friend or not they can find there own way.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Have to agree with you bees. If you're a true fan, you do anything to not allow the oppositions fans from getting into your home arena.

After reading the General's great analysis last night, I went to bed thinking I need to start reading this board more often, I've really missed reading intelligent insight like that. However, then I read this thread 24hrs later and it just really rubs me the wrong way for some reason. It sounds elitist. If someone who otherwise can't afford season tickets, buys season tickets and sells their duke tickets to pay for 1/2 their costs... I call that person a smart person and a dedicated fan. You call them a traitor? Others in the thread complain about people buying season tickets who a fair weather fans... I applaud these people because they help keep the dome inflated, their money is always welcome. (Of course this doesn't apply to the jack-wagon who shows up three games a year and tells you to sit down)

I personally think this thread is silly, & in la la land!

Even stranger to me... You wouldn't allow your friend who might be an alumnus or god forbid a fan of another team join you in your day of fun at the dome. Friends come in all flavors and diversity isn't such a bad thing, in fact it may even do you some good. Competitiveness is Fun!

Honestly, if you are confident in your team and yourself, you would invite your friend who happens to be a UNC or whoever fan to the dome for a drubbing. It is a big impressive place that should be shared with everyone. Maybe they even return the favor someday and invite you as a cuse fan.

Posters complain the so called fair weather fans, sell their seats to a seriously devoted college basketball fan who is willing to travel! Cool right? At least a devoted fan is coming? Yep this also makes people mad. Yet when the fair weather fan shows up for three games a year you complain about that too? Many of these "fair weather" fans are company guys who get the seats when they get them, and some buy others when they don't get em.

IMO anyone who sold their seats to the enemy on purpose is just smart, they get more money for the same product, some of these smart people then probably spent that money to buy seats elsewhere in the dome and even some of them might have even invited a friend who roots for the opposition.

Complaining about capitalism and ingenuity is shaky potatoes at best.

We are a hotter program than almost everyone right now and we should open our doors to anyone willing to pay, just to see how hot we are. So imagine you lived in Chapel Hill and your friends blew you off the week Cuse came to town... Nice Friends!

The whole discussion sounds like the small fry... like a Georgetown selling 10 packs to keep us out of their building. Sounds like the Syracuse the inferiority complex is rearing its head. We are elite and we need to act like it.

 

[The_Slant_Su]

With all that said, I wouldn't personally want some stranger sitting in my seat if it was "my seat" but I don't own seasons anymore.

My brother won some seats through his work, a couple rows back. He put them on StubHub at a crazy expensive amount. If someone bought them, fine! He makes a couple grand if not he goes to the game and sits 2 rows back. Yeah my brother is smart, he is a born and bred diehard fan, he also happens to have plenty of money. He enjoyed the game!

 

[CaptainJ]

I can help prevent Duke fans from getting into the dome if someone wants to sell me tickets at face value Seriously though, I am looking to fly back for the game. I kind of hope Duke is still ranked.

 

[Cusefan95]

I had season tickets to the New Jersey Devils for years - had no problem going with a friend that happened to be rooting for the opposing team. Wouldn't have a problem taking a fan of an opposing team to a Syracuse basketball game, either.

Having bought tickets on Stubhub to root for the visiting team at many sporting events, it'd be pretty hypocritical to get upset at Syracuse fans doing the same. Honestly if there was somebody tight on money that bought season tickets, sold Duke-UNC-Nova-Indiana and was able to attend multiple games this season basically for free - I've got no issue with that either. Smart play.

Those getting bent seem to embody everything that is wrong in America today with their attitude - a belief that we live in a free country where people can do what they want...as long as they do exactly what YOU want them to. Everyone wants to be a tyrant.

I saw at least five guy girl pairs where one had SU stuff and the other UNC apparel on. I probably talked to a dozen or so folks with UNC garb on most were locals or nearby's who have always been Heels fans.

 

[slidingdown]

I both attended the game and had my 311 seasons to dispense (got invited to a box). As per stubhub, I could've sold them north of 100$ apiece. Gave them to my SIL and nephew, who are huge SU fans and couldn't afford to go to the game.

I have friends who are UNC fans, and they can count on me for anything. Except tickets to SU/UNC. You sit behind the blue curtain if you want to see the enemy. You're not getting my seasons unless you cheer for the Orange. Loudly.

Waiting... Still waiting...

What if the seller could get more on stubhub, couldn't go and wanted to recoup some of their donation money it took to get the better seats? Maybe you should go into politics. Taking from one to give to another is a new concept and a super idea.

You bet your behind I wouldn't let an opposing fan go with me to an SU game. Wouldn't even take my mother.

Love to see opposing fans here at the Dome - especially when they get up to cheer for their team for the first five minutes then not a peep and sitting down on their iPhones for the rest of the beat down!

And even a few UNC fans in my section left early - the horror!

 

[MadNY3]

If I can find tickets, I may take a kid!

There was a UNC fan with just the aisle separating us.

When the Heels got off to their good start he began some irritating cheering

Thank goodness their run didn't last very long, I don't know if I could have restrained myself for 40 minutes.

On the other hand a season ticket holder right behind me brought a young UNC fan with him.

Whenever SU did something good I offered him a high-five, he just laughed.
