Move down to fill empty seats

Postby PonyPlayer4 » Wed Mar 19, 2014 10:28 am

They should let the GA fans move down to the lower bowl to fill the empty seats. Give people a chance to get there, then allow people to fill in the gaps.

Only the red seats on the north & south ends & loge seats are reserved. Rest is GA so fans can fill in...

I think the Red seats will be more full than ever considering that those that bought them actually had to make a conscious effort to obtain these tickets. And they all sold.

This confused me. What are the red seats on the south side, just bleachers there right?
Also, aren't all of the red seats on the north side? If so, if they are all reserved then where can fans fill in to red seats?

Guessing I am missing something obvious.

I am sure they will be about as full as they usually are. I'm sure a lot of those people bought their tickets to help the program like they do for their season tickets but I don't know why anyone would expect them to turn up for this game any more than the regular season games.

Hopefully it will be pretty full though - it would be nice.

The way I read this is: Move as low as you can go unless there is someone there telling you that you can't. And from the other post by the SID: the lower you are, the louder and more obnoxious you need to be to make up for NCAA rules.

Actually, apparently bleacher seats behind the benches are reserves seats. I know this because the ticket office just called to see if I'd like to upgrade to those seats instead of the GA seats I already purchased. I said yes. So I now have 4 GA seats available if anyone wants them.

Those buggers, when I bought my tickets I specifically asked if this might be a possibility after the red seat holders bought their tickets, and I was told that all unsold seats in the lower bowl would be going to NIT sponsors, and there wouldnt be a chance for fans to buy seats in that area. Murger furblers. No phone call asking me if I wanted to upgrade, either. Oh well, I've beeen around long enough to know not to expect anything different.

They were concerned about your headgear being so visible down there, Jon.

Sounds like if you are in 200s that is as low as you go depending on enforcement.
