My Grandparents have 2 chairbacks a little up from homeplate with their names on them which were purchased during the expansion. Season tickets have been bought every year since that time and will continute to be bought. From what I have been told, those seats/tickets can be passed down only once. Sometime in the next couple of seasons, I plan to take over those seats. After I am done with them, that will be it for my family seats unless I sign up to get more, but they wouldn't be in the same location.

i don't think it is the Universities responsibility to help you sell your tickets. If you want to sell them you have stub hub, if you want to give them away or exchange them they give you the pool of bulldog club members to do that with. I thought the idea was to get butts in the seats, not to cover the cost of games you are not able to attend. How many schools in the league have a system similar to what you are looking for? </p>
we really have no desire to sell our season tickets, but do like the ability to give them to other loyal fans or friends when we are not capable of using them. Not having to deal with will call or mailing tickets is a major plus of the system they put in place.
I guess this is where we differ.</p>

A true ticket exchange would be a good start to get butts in the seats. And it's not that hard to do. Ticketmaster does it with many concerts. And just for the record, I think that while ticket holders should be given the option to get paid for their tickets (less a commission for the school), the default option should be to give them credit for a donation to the Bulldog Club. That way, the school gets to sell the tickets twice.Vandelaydawg said:
from my understanding it is a logistical nightmare from tax implications. I don't have enough insight to expand on that, but that was what i was told.
The kind of system he is talking about is used by a lot of places and very successful...
The system used by a handful of colleges is called Ticket Marketplace by Paciolan
LSU uses it I know, Bama uses it for basketball..they have a list of college, pro, and ther arenas on their website.
Tickets are sold at face value, For each ticket that sells, you will receive a 100% credit of the ticket sale price as outlined in the Terms and Conditions. Your credit for tickets sold will be updated to your season ticket account approximately 10 days after the end of each month. You can use this credit towards your purchase of your season ticket renewal for next year.
<a style="font-weight: bold;" class="faq" name="view7">What do I do with the tickets I've placed for sale?</a>
You will be notified via e-mail when your tickets have been sold. Ownership of the sold tickets will then be transferred to the ticket buyer. After receiving notification that your tickets have been sold you must destroy your season tickets for that game. If your season tickets are attempted to be used for admittance after they have been sold, all privileges to the Ticket Marketplace including, but not limited to, buying and selling of season tickets via the Ticket Marketplace may be revoked and the possibility of losing the renewal rights for season tickets

The basketball season ticket holder never paid anything for the alleged promise of seats for life. Thus, there is no contract to be broken by reseating the Hump.
The baseball season ticket holders paid money in exchange for a promise of seats for life. Thus both sides gave consideration and there is a legally binding contract. And despite what one posted wrote, that contract does not have to be in writing. A verbal contract is just as binding as a written one except for real estate transactions.</p>

Matt Wiggins was given a verbal contract on his seats. I understand his deal is over with and gone, but he was promised those seats in the Hump.</p>
proverbial dead horse at this point. However,
1. It is obvious to me that at least some of the chairback ticket holders don't have a contract -- written or otherwise. I don't. I paid my money to get chairback seats. I roughly understood that was a one-time fee I would pay so that I could get chairbacks in subsequent years. That's about all there was to it. I wonder how many there are like me?
2. I can tell you that going back on promises, contracts, etc. happens all over collegiate America. I don't like it. Because a promise should be a promise, written or verbal. But, it does happen. Suits get filed, etc. But, in the end, the University gets what it wants, although they might have to settle with some folks. Judges can decide strange things -- "Here, you can have your $1,000 back." "They broke their promise. But, you can't prove economic damages." -- all kinds of weird stuff.
Like I said, promises should be promises. But, like I said what seems like weeks ago now, it is ridiculous that bulldog club ranking really doesn't mean anything in baseball. I know that baseball has always existed in a booster vaccuum. But, I don't think it is practical for it to continue that way. I don't think a seperate baseball priority system makes sense. It really is a huge testimony to our baseball program that such a system has persisted this long, to be honest. But, it will change one day --

Obviously you do not understand my explanation of the differences. Wiggins didn't give anything up in exchange for that alleged promise, so there was no contract whether the promise was made or not. A contract is legally enforcable. A promise isn't. </p>
That's pretty much all it takes to have a contract. You paid $1,000 per seat and both sides understood that you'd get to keep those seats for as long as you continue to buy season tickets.
I do agree that you never know what a judge will do. But I can guarantee you that anybody who sued MSU over reseating when they'd paid $1,000 per seats for those seating rights would have a hell of a case.
or damages that are relatively speculation free (what is the right to get the same seats worth?), doesn't mean you can't get a chancery court judge sitting in equity to force the school to give you back your tickets.
might not be material to the decision at some point.
'need me one of those contracts. Does it contain a liquidated damages clause?

in the chairback area until folks give'em up, and apply the priority seating plan as they become available. The season ticket price should be adjusted accordingly for the the seats that are subject to the priority seating plan.
