    Horrible business decision.

    How is this a horrible business decision? They are going out of their way to make this work... obviously it is a policy of 247 Sports.

    I offered you UGA Tixs a while back for face value and you turned me down. Your own fault you're stuck without tixs when prices jumped.

    What are you talking about? Way to post an outright lie. You wanted me to pay for the UAB tickets that I couldn't use at all, also. Way to totally misrepresent that in your post. You wanted $320 for four tickets. First of all, that's more than face. Secondly, you can get two UGA tickets for less than $320. The best part is you're acting like you offered me some great below market deal. Go get your head checked.

  • Not a lie. I offered 2 UGA for face if you bought 2 UAB for face. I have the message. I offered the same to many people here that messaged me that day.

    I will also say that I have no problem with folks being passionate about this. It's flattering and means we were doing something right, people enjoyed the alerts, etc.

    We will take care of you guys. You will get alerts sent to your phone we promise.

    Thanks for all you guys do JC! Change is always something that strikes a nerve with people. Just allow time for people to soak it in. Immediate reactions are typically over the top because people are passionate. Especially behind a username!

    Keep up the great work!

    You wanted $320. That's not face for those four tickets. Had you offered two UGA tickets for $160, I'd have been all over it. However, I had no use for the UAB tickets. Totally worthless to me. Hence, it was $160/UGA ticket for my purposes, which is no deal at all. There's a reason nobody thought it was some great deal. And, again, really funny how you tried to misrepresent everything in your post.

    can you guys take this fued somewhere else. This thread has nothing to do with what you guys are discussing.

  • No sense in arguing. I sold 4 to some very appreciative people at face value 70 + 70 + 30 + 30 + 20. Read my message it said face value + 20 in ticket master fees.

    I am an annual member and don't mind the changes,however I do have one question. Can I only have text sent to one phone? My wife and son have enjoyed the text in the past and would like to keep receiving them.Membership should be household and most families have have several phones.

    That is a very good question. I don't have an answer for you to be honest. If your wife and son have smartphones...maybe the twitter alert thing is the way to go.
    You lucky. My wife don't even want me getting text alerts! LOLOLOLOL blackeye

    For those of you who don't have Twitter, don't want Twitter, and never, ever plan to have Twitter, but want to still have the Twitter alerts sent to your phone. Here are the directions. Again, only do it this way if you're not already a Twitter person. There's a much easier way if you already have Twitter.

    Pull out your trusty phone...
    Send a text message with the word START to 40404.
    Twitter will send you a reply and ask you to reply back with your full name to sign up.
    Twitter will then send a message back to you and assign you a username based on your full name.
    Reply with the words... On gamecockalerts
    You'll get whatever the last update was so that you know you have the service set up correctly.

    Again, only do it this way if you don't want Twitter otherwise.

    What that guy wanted sounds pretty reasonable to me. $160 a ticket is around going rate for that game.

  • That's great news, JC. I've not signed up for text alerts in the past but I'm going to take advantage of this bonus. Thanks, TBS!

    Spurrier...I appreciate him plenty

    At this point it is only one phone. Annual members who are in this position can have other phones - as many as you'd like - sign up for the text alerts through Twitter though.

    I really hope you're not serious. If you think that adds to $320, you might want to repeat the second grade. Jesus.

    It reminds me of that Louis CK standup about people inventing to complain about. "I have to enter English/Spanish into the ATM? This is !"

    This thread went from people complaining about the text alerts to people complaining about the how the moderators respond to complaints to people fighting about a completely irrelevant ticket purchase issue. I can't wait to see what's next.
