Ordered Vandy tickets today over the phone. The Ol Ghost couldn't resist the opportunity to carry out a "Sting" operation in the process. Asked the ticket guy about the availability of club level seats. He checked the computer and told me I could still buy a group of 4 tickets on the 45 yard line from row 4 all the way up to row 28 (top row). No priority waiting list, no let me see if I can pull some strings and get you in Mr. Ghost, just hand over the check and name your location.
Since a ailse runs down the 50, few seats apparently have been sold if anyone can still get 45 yard line seats at this late date. Even I, the great negative one, had no idea that this "Club" scheme had failed so miserably.
.
Now be honest. Who will be sitting in these seats come gameday? Visitors are not buying these seats. Tech fans are not buying these seats. They will either go empty, or will be given away to staff and friends, or they may find their way to scalpers.

I'm a West stander, who was shifted one section because of "East Flight". These seats that are now available in the East Stands used to belong to avid Tech fans. 45 yard line seats probably belonged to dedicated Alums or fans who had had those seats for years and years. In a major money grab that has gone wrong, these seats are now begging for someone to sit in them. I'm mad as a West Stander about it, but I can only imagine what the guy who used to have those seats in the East thinks about it.
