If this practice has been going on througho...Will,<br /><br />If this practice has been going on throughout JJ's and TJ's tenures, even using modest figures, we are talking about what constitutes the embezzlement of millions of dollars. I am not sure what the contractual relationship is between season ticket holders and Auburn, but it is essentially a fraud on season ticket holders who expect to move up in priority if tickets are being removed from the priority pool. It just stinks - I hope the powers that be see it for what it is, punish those who have abused the system, and clean house. There is absolutely no reason hundreds of prime tickets between the 30s and in the lower bowl should remain available as some sort of good ol boy slush fund. But if that is going to be the deal, then it needs to be perfectly clear to season ticket holders that any improvement in ticket priority is simply discretionary, not guaranteed, and there also needs to be transparency for how the slush fund tickets are allocated. If you had the ability to buy big game tickets for face value the week of, I need your business model, because that acquiring a huge value for pennies on the dollar. The risk for abuse with such a framework demands better accountability and transparency, especially when the AD is inexplicably running a deficit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065891155159675383noreply@blogger.com
