I never said those were club seats, try to keep up if you think you need to lecture me. My ticket buying days even with player parent tics started when you were a little boy.
I‘ve watched sections 103-106 since they started, the ticket price was the same as 234, the donation was different, that means the face value of the ticket was the same.
I had seats in 103 during the temp reseat, I know what I saw, and I saw the other teams fans sitting there all the time. In fact, for OU, the guy that dresses up in the white suit and calls himself MR OU sat right across the aisle in 104, said his seats were owned by someone above in the Club Level.
Lastly, I never said ticket resell companies own the seats in 103-106, a large majority are owned by those sitting in the club level above.
You said the real culprits of ticket reselling were in the west side club... then when essentially asked to elaborate on what you meant, you respond by saying
"Sections 103-106 have as many opposing fans as TCU most of the time, meaning the seats are probably sold." Based on everything you said, it certainly appeared as if you were claiming 103-106 were part of the west side club. Maybe you meant to indicate that people in the west side club were the ones selling tickets in the west side lower bowl... I don't think this accurate either (I'll explain later in this post).
What a goofy argument to pretend that the required donation for a seat location shouldn't be included when determining the true face value of a ticket.
What is the "temp reseat" you are talking about? 2012... literally a decade ago? Or 2020 during the Covid year? Either way, both are pretty irrelevant when trying to explain the current situation.
I agree that yes, many of the seats in 103-106 are owned by people that also have club seats or access to a suite. That's why so many of the seats are often empty. I've seen first hand people wearing club access lanyards come down from the club mid game to sit in their lower bowl seats. These people enjoy having the ability to socialize in the club, but also have seats close to the field.
As I said in my last post, that is the biggest issue with the lower bowl seats: people that don't use them because they are in the club or their suite instead.
The next biggest issue with the lower bowl seats is that because they are owned by people or companies with club or suite access, the lower bowl seats are often given to friends or clients... this is the biggest reason you see opposing team colors in 103-106... they were given the seats because they are a friend or client of the person that owns the seats.
Pay attention to stubhub... there really aren't many seats in 103-106 that regularly get sold. That doesn't mean there isn't an issue with attendance in that section... I just don't think the problem has to do with resellers like you claim, which is why I don't think this latest effort will make much of a difference for the west side lower bowl.
