Mods, can we have a dedicated forum for ticket requests/face value sales/gifts etc.?

[L Buff]

Seriously ... I know that someone asked for this in another thread (can't find it now) but apparently it was ignored. It seems like a reasonable request, and would help fill up the Keg and maybe even Folsom next week. We have several threads going on either requesting tickets or offering them ... why not consolidate them into a forum dedicated to the purpose?

Given that it should not be a "scalping thread" wherein sleazeballs with no CU loyalty try to turn a fast buck. It should be a forum wherein those who have tickets but aren't able to use them, or those who are seeking tickets can access them. I just know I'm already sick of seeing all those premium seats at the Keg empty well into the first half that are apparently held by "high rollers." While I appreciate their financial support in buying season tickets, if they're not going to show up, why not donate or offer for sale at face value in some kind of forum? I think someone mentioned that CU had some sort of forum for that purpose, but as an alum I've never been informed of it. It seems, judging from the number of threads asking for or offering tix on this board, that there is a real demand for one here.

Mods?


EDIT: Oh ... and BTW ... you guys do a great job! Seriously. I for one truly appreciate it. :thumbsup:

3rd. It's a shame to see it so empty on tv. Recruits see that and it doesnt look good when the gym is only packed for big games.

It was cold and ****ty. I can't blame the people that left.

This is more than a mod thing. It's really an administrative thing.

If we do it, I'm kind of thinking that to make it work we'd need to talk to our friends in the online community, primarily at Rivals and Ralphie Report, to get it set up. Any one of the sites is probably not big enough to make it happen, but working together it would make a lot of sense.

We'll look into it.

Thanks nik ... I (and others no doubt) will appreciate anything you can do. It's a potential win-win for fans and for the university.

Let's be honest are we really talking about a lot of tickets here? There doesn't seem to be a crazy amount of ticket posts.

Are we just not making a sticky (at least temporarily) because people are retards and won't look?

Mods, can we have a dedicated forum for ticket requests/face value sales/gift...

I posted the request for this about ten days ago in the pub. The thread was called Tickets Sub Forum or Sticky Thread?

I figured nobody else cared, as it was largely ignored. Knowing that people do care, since hardly anyone knew that the thread even existed kind of supports my idea.

Here's the original post:

I was just thinking that it would be nice to have a go-to place on AllBuffs for fans who want to sell or give away tickets to CU sporting events (football, men's basketball, women's basketball, volleyball, etc.) and other ticketed CU events rather than searching through potential forums that may or may not include this information.

At least I'm not aware of a spot on the site for such a thing. Heck, I'll even volunteer to moderate such an area if that would help.

Tad's letter included with season tickets made me think of this. He mentioned how important it is that we fill Coors no matter what kind of weird start time we're given by TV. A place tickets on AllBuffs might help facilitate this allowing fans to find other Buffs fans who want their tickets, parking passes, etc. I personally would hope that such a thing would be used for giving away free tickets or for selling up to the single-game value of the ticket. If someone wants to make money and not care what school's fan ends up with the ticket, a place like stubhub can take care of those needs.

Anyway, this was on my mind, and I thought that maybe going into new men's basketball season with sold-out season tickets might be a good time to start a subforum or sticky thread for such a thing.
