I'm saying that I highly doubt someone who is buying club seats, lodge or suites are keeping their old seats at a 50% rate.
This nonsense that people are just keeping seats in large numbers to sell them is just conspiratorial BS. One, the market isn't that great for resale seats worth the hassle and two, the folks that have the seats have money and a little chump change on selling them is nothing.
It is just an overblown issue that makes people feel good complaining.
You live in a false reality, which isn’t all that surprising considering your political leanings, which also typically align with make believe world.
It doesn’t take much inductive reasoning to realize ticket reselling is a major issue at TCU. I assume you sit in the west club, which shields you from experiencing it, but sit elsewhere in the stadium, especially the east side, and you’ll quickly realize how much of an issue it really is.
A lot of the best seats on the east side are consistently occupied by away fans. Sit anywhere on the east side, and you’re guaranteed to have opposing fans sitting around you.
I personally know a handful of people that sit in the club section while simultaneously owning premium east side tickets that they own just to resell. It’s not about turning a profit (which they do), it’s human nature. They are given the opportunity to control premium seats, so they do it. They get priority points and then they can either sell them and make a profit (or at the very least make their money back) or give them away to friends or clients. There’s really no reason not to continue owning them (other than that it severely hurts our home field advantage).
There’s a reason TCU implemented the new 8 seat upgrade limit this year. This wouldn’t be a thing if there wasn’t an issue.
