It's a good thing that we will not be selling tickets to the brokers so they can make a fortune. I can't figure out why we ever did that. Maybe some of these rich mutts will actually now be giving their big bucks directly to Tech.

Doesn't matter 40% will be the butt sniffers always is always will be. Too many of our so called fans sell them to them.
I'd burn my extra tickets before a dwag fan could get them. Sometimes you just have to make a stand and support the GT fans sitting near you.

Since 85, the only butt in my seat was my own skinny one...

One of Georgia’s many National Championships: Away Game Attendance National Champions, Spring Game Attendance National Champions, The Fulmer Cup National Champions, Recruiting Class National Champions, Pre-Season National Champions, This Is The Year Again National Champions.
Good to see us taking monetary advantage over their Away Game Attendance prowess.

Smart- everyone is selling them to dawg fans anyway, might as well make some extra money on them. If it’s ~10K tickets and we make and extra $50 per seat that an extra $500,000 in the coffers
I imagine season ticket holders can still by extras. I bought 4 a few weeks ago for $100 each.

I don't think GT was marketing to brokers. Brokers were purchasing season tickets solely to sell them. I don't know if the GTAA has any limits to try to prevent that, but brokers will find ways around limits. That is why you have to tap dance around captchas and such to buy tickets on ticketmaster.

Yep. And they automate these purchases with bots, despite laws that are intended to make the process illegal.

And the brokers figured out pretty quickly that they could outsource the captcha solving to “call center” type places in India, where they’re answering one after the other for hours a day. Whatever system they come up with to solve the secondary market issue, the brokers will find a workaround within days.
For the past several seasons, a Tech alum in the row behind me would bring “clients” to the game, usually fans from the other team. To add to the obnoxiousness, he would bad mouth our team all game to ingratiate himself with his guests. Do any of you do this or have to endure this?

No what section are you in ? Not sure you can do much about it other than move.

Not saying that this is okay... but this is a part of life as a football fan. I went to Climpsun last week and heard fans in their stands trashing their team, in the midst of a massive victory. It's unavoidable, to an extent. Win and it gets better, but it doesn't go away.

You should start quoting him to his clients. "That's not what you said last week..."
It will expose him as a phony.
I don’t want to hurt his business, but I’m surprised he hasn’t moved. I get loud and stand for most of the game. His cross to bear is his wife can’t handle her alcohol so I always ask him about his lovely wife if he leaves her at home. Sorry I don’t have any pictures.
