But no reason why except that they just cold not. <br /><br />I also asked if it would be possible to put me in contact with the person in seats next to mine ( who never show) could not ( would not) do that either. ( privacy is not the issue - they could have contacted the ticket holder for me and asked if OK for me to make contact) <br /><br />Creative bunch we have which allows thesee great seats to remain empty and unavailable.

I will go further and recommend that if you use your women's basketball tickets throughout the year...you should receive first choice for any women's post season events. <br /><br />About 3000 tickets for the first and second round have been sold so far.<br /><br />Arrived safely in Greensboro.

It's the men's basketball and football season ticket holders fault. They purchase season tickets to women's basketball just to bolster their priority points and standing with the CAF. Instead of using the tickets or donating them to someone who would use them, they go unused and therefore their priority seats are empty come game time.<br /><br />I suggested long ago and many times since then that you should receive your priority points only once your tickets are used. Didn't happen.<br /><br />The university needs to review this faulty system and repair it for the women's teams and their fan bases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-25329460151373654482016-03-01T09:07:39.838-05:002016-03-01T09:07:39.838-05:00My ACC WBB picks

They could not tell me anything except to blame it on the CJ by saying that the paper published the wrong information. Of course, they could not tell me when to expect a e-mail with information - not even what day to expect it although the e-mail arrived 30 minutes later. <br /><br />This kind of marketing personel mis-steps is a repeated pattern over the course of many years where they spend more time covering why something was not done than they do just doing it.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-12747365387502320102016-03-01T07:15:03.891-05:002016-03-01T07:15:03.891-05:00The unfair glitch in the ticket policy is not abou...The unfair glitch in the ticket policy is not about gender.

I'm wondering how all the people of the area who have bought tickets to concerts, etc. at the Yum! feel about being second class ticket buyers. Who scores the prime concert seats? - the people who buy and pay for in different ways (men's basketball ticket holder buys women's tickets to volleyball or basketball to get priority points but never attend an event). Non sports fan who want great seats at a concert should also be offended.vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437538169497425364noreply@blogger.com
