I should know better
I think this is the first time I've seen this policy in writing. I've heard people who have been contacted by BYU, but I
don't think I ever knew that it was an official policy. True?

It’s an epidemic near me. Different fans every game, usually supporting the opposing team. Front row folks making bank.

They've used similar language the last few years at least.

Why would donors do this?

Didn't someone on here complain about that happening to them last year? They were pretty upset.

I think that situation is fine. That's not who they're trying to stop with the policy.

So, you live out of state. You hope to attend 2 or 3 games a year. You want good seats. You want to support BYU. You buy

My take - selling online is different than selling to friends and family

So, you pay $3,000 for a CC membership, plus the price of the season tickets. You have no takers for the upcoming game.

That is the exact situation I find myself every year.

Basketball - I can't stand seeing 10% of the lower bowl seats empty for every game. They need to bring down the limit

That is not the policy. They don't want you to buy season tickets with the intention of reselling most or all of them.

I didn't intend to resell them. Reselling was not my "primary purpose." I was out of town for the games.. and I'll

Really? Or are you guessing? I think most CC members want to attend the games. I’d guess the true scalpers are very few.

I doubt that is what they are trying to stop.

That's what I do. Never sell on stub hub. I don't think I have ever got more than I have paid for ticket when selling.

How many people wanted to buy season tickets but couldn't?

The issue I have is how BYU knows whether they’re being sold vs. transferred.
