Notre Dame fans who sold their tickets are the worst.

Ushers should be told to take the seat numbers and the admin should put them on a black list for future tickets
Suckers like you is what Swarbrick wants. The administration laughs all the way to bank while throwing a 4-8 team out there. It's about time the fans have their say.

How am I a sucker. I have not purchased any ND merchandise in seven years other then my B&G Illustrated and won't until they win a natty. Selling tickets does not support the team. People who tickets should lose them to fans that want to be there. I've always proposed got to the games if you can to support the team. Buy food and drinks but no ND fan gear. Support the not the u.
 
BTW if you want to make a statement stay home and leave an empty seat. If you love ND don't embarrass yourself and the u by selling your tux to none ND fans.
 
Speaking of selling tickets. What is the best site to purchase tickets for a future game.

Have been out to football camps with my son and hope to watch a game this year.
 
This is a great discussion. With a small ND alum base ND townies have a lot of tickets. When your coming off a 4-8 season and you have GA fans offering you 1k per ticket you may sell. Win some dam games and create a winning tradition again and selling of tickets will stop. Winning takes care of everything!!!!!!!! Wait. Another loss!!

Most of you guys are conservative, free enterprise type guys. Why shouldn't you have the right to sell your tickets -- especially if someone is giving you $1000?
 
University's own fault for sea of red. $7000 for season tickets! These season ticket holders are selling big games in order to afford attending a few games. Normally have 6 home games. That's $1,166 per game. Outrageous.
 
And you're going to tell people not to accept hundreds or over a thousand bucks for a ticket! Bwahahahahahahahah! Good luck with that! The only surprise is that more weren't sold! :eek:
 
Because some things are more important than money chief. If for some reason ND won that game on a last second field goal...would you really have wanted to miss that over a few benjamins?

If free market is your thing...find an ND fan to sell them to and let them enjoy the experience. You can't take the money to your grave. You can take memories.
 
I never thought ND fans were Snap/Wic carrying folks. There should never be a thread about crowd noise. Secondly, Any top recruits there have to see that garbage by it's fan base.
 
Not everyone that has season tickets makes over 200k a year. So a lot of people sell. When traditional powers see ND on their schedule they circle it. It was the highest ticket of day for a team coming off a 4-8 season and a OK GA teams. Win some games!!!!!! That's takes care of the problems. If Alabama was coming off a 4-8 season they would have empty seats. Win some games.

I agree you should always try to sell them to another ND fan. But if the regime is tottering like this one, I don't sweat too much about not supporting it. I don't see BK 2.0 becoming a top tier coach, do you?

Alabama wouldn't have 30,000 visiting fans to their stadium. So let me understand this...Notre Dame plays a top SEC school in South Bend for the first time in decades but because ND was 4-8 last year the automatic thought is...hey, let me sell my tix and make some bucks rather than actually see a potentially great game? And because "a lot of people sell" doesn't make it right. It just makes the fans look bad. Try supporting the student athletes rather than your pocketbook.

Free market, man. Just like the banks that foreclosed on granny over 99 cents in arrears. You may not like it, but that's capitalism at its best and that's what Ayn Rand would tell you to do: whatever benefits you; screw the greater good.

Free market also says don't invest in something if it doesn't pay a return...so the point remains...if you are unhappy with the team DONT buy tickets or if you do...sell them to someone who does follow them. How exactly is selling out fair to the students?

I'm just trying to see it from both sides. I get why some people sell. A lot of ND fans did not attend ND. Winning takes care of this.
 
Notre Dame has become a spectacle. Teams come in, that have never been or haven't been there in ages, they bring a boatload of their fans for the experience and then they come out as winners seemingly most times now. It's almost like it didn't matter to Notre Dame fans that they were playing Georgia. Sure, make a profit, your tickets, your money you can do as you please. But something like the display of red in the crowd tonight tells me ND ticket holders don't care enough (and there is reason because Kelly sucks) to go watch a matchup between two historic programs and would rather just let other teams fans come in and get the experience. Then again, it also factors in that UGA has alot of fans and alumni and those people have money to make a trip like this happen.

Alabama back in the Shula era had empty seats.
 
Everyone has a number in their mind about how much attending a game is worth to them.

The beauty of capitalism. The tickets will end up in the hands of the people who place the highest worth on attending the game.

For many ND fans, the number was less than 1k. For many Georgia fans, the number was more than 1k. Thus, GA fans got their hands on a huge number of tickets.

Free market.

Lots of conflating going on here.

"How many Georgia fans sell their tickets for UGA vs Notre Dame in 2019."

We love college football & we respect & live to play storied programs like Notre Dame. You'll be able to sell your tickets to Georgia fans for this game, too.
 
There used to be only 11k season ticket seats in the stadium. Not sure how many there are this season but based on all the marketing campaigns, I can't imagine there being much more due to the outrageous price gauging by the university. That being said, that leaves a whole lot of tickets being sold on secondary market by the university to third party ticket brokers. Only one to blame here is ND for causing the problem. Make season tickets reasonable and you'll see those holders attending big games and not selling out to help pay for the rights to own. Pretty simple.
 
We were nice enough to let these bozos take over the stadium. Then, in a show of friendship, we lost the game so Georgia fans could really enjoy their game day experience. And, as a going away gift to our visiting friends, they got to celebrate the win in our stadium , waving a big old Georgia flag, yelling, cheering, singing with the football team while ND fans left with their tails between their legs in embarrassment. That about sizes it up and this won't be the last time we generously give up our home field to an opponent's fan base.

Bozos ? Stay classy.
 
Can t blame anyone for selling them. The administration shouldn't t complain either. The legalized extortion they practice with long time season ticket holders is disgusting. No better than the convenience store owner in Houston charging 40 bucks for a 24 pack of bottled water.
 
A Georgia fan told me that their fan base wouldn't have sold out in a million years. You could see this was coming the moment they announced the game was scheduled. Meanwhile, a couple of hours before the game, I was watching the OSU girls volleyball team practice at Purcell, followed by the ND men's baskeball scrimmage held by Captains, and the video board regularly announced tickets still available for NCST, WF, and Navy.

Maybe it is a sign many fans are sick of Kelly and have given up on football. We need to make a new hire to pump life back into the program. Kelly comes across as a dirty politician.

Its not like it hasn't t happened before.
 
Then Notre Dame football is dead. We are again the laughing stock of footbll. No SEC team would ever do that. LSU went for years with not losing a home game..
If you think it's dead so be it. I m not packing it in after two games.
