[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 812296, member: 1555"] Don't think we should assume that all, or even most, mutt fans at COFH in Bobby Dodd are getting their tickets from "crap" Tech fans, although I'm sure some are. It's a not-well-kept secret that many die-hard mutt fans purchase our season ticket packages, sell all but the COFH game on StubHub or alternate ticket sites, and end up breaking even or better. The rise of easy-to-use online resale platforms has likely contributed to this trend. Think about the economics of it, and the fact that mutt fans outnumber us in the Atlanta area. It probably costs mutt fans more to attend the game in Athens than when it's in Atlanta if they follow the season ticket/sell-off route. The 3-game package now offered may actually make it easier for them. Obviously, it's impossible to get an accurate count of how prevalent this practice is, but in my opinion, it is a significant factor in the amount of red in the stands. The solution? Unless someone can come up with some sort of foolproof "True Tech Fan ID" for season tickets, or limits on resales, we are going to need to improve the fan experience (in all aspects, including on-field performance) to the point where more actual Tech fans want to purchase season tickets. Also, I'm sure the GTAA is happy to accept mutt fans $$; their money is just as green as Tech fans. [/QUOTE]
