Just venting:  Ticket office just sent an email offering "premium sideline" and "premium midfield" for the same price I bought my endzone tickets for when they first went on sale.  Way to incentivize early engagement, management.

The same type of behaviour made buying season tickets at Texas Motor Speedway uneconomical, and surprise, those ticket sales dropped.

These are the same folks who make it incredibly challenging to add occasional single game $150+ tickets to the Club Section when I haven't seen new faces in the empty seats around me in 5-6 years.

Meh.  Lesson learned.  Next time I want to attend a "marquee" game I'll just wait for UNT to put the tickets on sale.  

But you have to wonder how many others just made that same decision.

Don’t we hope they take advantage the deal, have a great time, keep coming, and bring their friends?

I see the argument on both sides here. 

One side: This kills the incentive to purchase season or single single game tickets. It also lessens the value of the product in general. 

Other side: We're alum. We're donors. And we should have a certain level of commitment to the program to, at minimum, buy season tickets early.

Third side: A week out from a game where you open against a name opponent you do everything you can to entice people to attend (especially when weather may be a factor)

I understand where you're coming from, but it is a tactic used by almost every sports team that doesn't sell out games.

Wait... I think we're buying the lead... Texas motor speedway had season tickets? What does that get you into?

A buddy and I had them for two decades or so.  You got the same tickets to the Cup, Busch, Truck, and Indycar races.  For a while it was a good deal, then TMS started offering extremely low cost tickets just before the races that weren't too much worse than ours.  So why spend $$$$ per seat for season tickets when you could just cherry pick the races you wanted to see for $?

It was even worse for some, for some seats there are also PSL charges.

You can still buy season tickets there:  https://www.texasmotorspeedway.com/events/season-tickets/

I’m honestly good with whatever promo leads to putting more butts in seats.  Sure would be nice for folks watching around the country to see a full(ish) stadium of green adorned fans cheering the home team to a W.

After a contemplative beer I decided to buy 2 tickets for FC Dallas vs Inter Miami for $99 each., my season ticket agreement. Woke up in the AM after the link went live to the masses and the tickets were worth $900 each.

It truly is a supply issue and i didn’t cash  out because I wanted the $900 Messi Messi Messi experience. 

Worth it.

Supply vs demand.

Until we (demand) outpace the seating capacity (supply), expect prices to evolve to intersect them.

Welcome to the good ol' goddamned USA!

If you know casual fans or just people looking for something to do, GA tickets are $10 today and tomorrow. Edit, when I called the ticket office, they said it was today and tomorrow. The tweet says just today, though.

      That’s very impressive. Let’s NIL their director.

      The Band

      Thats fantastic. They should have their own unique uni's with their school colors. Or at least have some sort of insignia on their NT uniforms. I have written MANY TIMES to the school of music expressing my concerns about the Green Brigade. Daniel Cook actually ask me to watch a practice where they debuted the North Texas fanfare. Something that he either composed himself or had someone in the school of music compose. Daniel (Dr?) Cook inherited a pretty crappy version of the Green Brigade. The most significant change he made was the fanfare. The rest is CRAP. The Band is unwieldy and bloated, and the best word (besides crap) to describe the pre-game show is "perfunctory". They just go through the (musical) motions. At the Army game, as the Band was at mid-field playing the fight song I stood up and did the traditional clapping along with the band, but I kept yelling "TEMPO! TEMPO! GET THE DAMN TEMPO UP! Get to the middle of the field with energy and forgodsakes STOP PLAYING THE "AMERICAN EMBLEM MARCH". That is Junior High stuff. THIS is what a College Band looks like......or is SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. This is the closest thing to what the North Texas Band used to look like in the 60's-early 70's, under the late, great Maurice McAdow........only the McAdow Bands played better than these guys. But everything else (including the Uniforms) were pretty much the same. So I ask, do they have more talented musicians than us? Do they have more pride than us? I'm interested in hearing from "letsgiveacheer" about this.
