One is still a utilization of the tickets. The other is prospecting and trying to make a profit.

Shots fired at Legacy folks buying up 12 tickets and reselling...

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

It’s been this way for a number of years

This isn't a new policy.

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

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

Why would donors do this?

These are second generations that still hold the rights

If I were that original donor, I would be embarrassed of my kids

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

yeah it was me. I live out of state so only make a couple games a year and I

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

I think it happened to a STH of the SF Giants. The Giants tried to walk it back

It’s super annoying. It happened with us with football and now basketball. I

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

Heath Squashwell

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

PJMort

That is the exact situation I find myself every year.

That's my situation as well. Tickets are right by other family tickets but

No one has an issue with you doing this in some of the games

Bingo. I bought 12 tickets last year; 6 sideline, 6 endzone. My group sits on

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

Even in the upper bowl. the 2 seats to my left, and 2+ seats to my right are

Sounds like a pro, not a con, to me.

I wish they had been more clear with their language. Isn't it ok to sell them online as long as you don't sell at a

HarlemCoug

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

PJMort

Jan 31, 6:00pm

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

But many CC members *ARE* buying their limit with the plan to resell most of thm

Greg4BYU

Jan 31, 6:07pm

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

PJMort

Jan 31, 8:06pm

I doubt that is what they are trying to stop.

JuicyJam

Jan 31, 5:55pm

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.

Qhall

Jan 31, 9:39pm

It's a real problem. Cougar Club members buying their limit because they can

Greg4BYU

Jan 31, 5:32pm

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

JuicyJam

Jan 31, 5:36pm

Better question. How many rabid fans were priced out because they can't afford

Greg4BYU

Jan 31, 6:03pm

I can't speak to basketball. But I'm one of the lowest priority CC members

Same. Getting the tickets was never an issue for me, it is the $$$ that changed

Jan 31, 7:27pm

So, you want to pay less to get the same seats and parking passes as those who pay more? You are upset that you would...

PJMort

BYU can chose whatever policy they will. Limits to resale are very normal

Those lots are still half empty when I have walked by, even Saturday when I was

I feel kind of bad. I had a parking pass for lot 3 I didn't use Saturday

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

Ned Schneebly

Jan 31, 6:51pm

In the old days, I'd give tickets away. Not anymore.

Belboz

Jan 31, 8:23pm

My guess is that CC doesn’t really care what happens as long as tickets are

Muscle IQ

Jan 31, 8:37pm

agreed - and sec 34 will be $500/ticket this year. There is no way to make money scalping them. You could certainly

There is a guy who buys a bunch of Football tickets and basketball tickets and resells them all on KSL. He's the same
