I'd agree. The vendor must be complete garbage if it couldn't actuate a system that would take about 48 seconds to describe. But this isn't the first effed up rodeo involving our ticket office and (as was mentioned) the buck stops with the people choosing and paying the vendor. I just know the reverse would NEVER happen with Tier 1 getting screwed and there magically being a free for all today of premium seats.
They'll never do it but they should strip any seats purchased beyond one's allotment and then offer them first to the Tier 1 people that bought less than their allotment and then to anyone in subsequent tiers that essentially got shut out of the $150 seats. Not a perfect solution but certainty more fair than what happened.
I'll personally punch Flake in the throat if I ever get another pre neutral site ticket sale email about donating more to jump tiers. There theoretically could be a lawsuit about what supposedly happened today.
Completely agree. Also, you made an excellent earlier point earlier that gets to the heart of the issue with Tier 1. Clearly, the 261 people in Tier 1 don't give a **** about what went wrong today, and those are the people who are the "yes men" who keep shaking Blake's hand at the games and telling him that he's doing a heckuva job. It's those 261 people who are going to make a nice profit on StubHub.
It is, literally, one of the easiest audits to conduct. You only have to test 261 accounts. That's it.
We also need to bring back the Hurricane Club points. We used to have transparency and accountability on the ranking system, and "tax reform" didn't take that away. Lazy ADs took that away.
