Homecoming Attendence

[GatorDawg]

Since when. 23k showed up!! It's not like they weren't giving tickets away for this game. It's a snafu.... That's all this is. A blind hobo could sneak into the game.

For all the scanner knows, a buddy passed you his ticket after entering. They did their job. No reason to complain IF the fault lies with the customer.

I do not know the facts on this case so I stress the IF. There are a whole lot of reasons why they need to be this strict with measuring the coming and going of the crowd and only part of it is ticket sales.

I understand what you are saying, but don't you think this is something they should inform the customer ahead of time and not after the fact.

Every ticket says no re-entry if I am not mistaken.

Not on the tickets bought through ticketmaster nor season tickets.

I'm not faulting anybody. I agree with your assessment. Just saying that this was no big deal.

It's unfortunate it happens to anyone.

I guess not then.

Though I find it hard to believe it isn't on ticketmaster tickets. That's pretty standard ticket policy. Are you sure it's not even in some fine print?

Yes.

The only thing remotely similar is that the ticket can be revoked if you don't comply with the terms, of which not leaving isn't one of them.

I grow bored. Don't leave the game.

Especially anyone who can cover a wide receiver.

Good info.

Proof that winning matters.

Our home finale attendance should blow the others out of the water....that is, assuming we take care if business this week.
