    For some reason I can't seem to register myself to the group as a single.
    Does anyone know why?

    ok... dilema... my friend the account holder is being relunctant to join up saying "our payment plan is for 275 how can they change that on me" and after an explanation..... "well thats bullshit. i was told i could get tickets for 275, I don't appreciate being forced into a fan club."

    Theres 3 of us with 4 tickets... anyway I can loophole something to get me as "the mandotory member" for our tickets?


    also... will be interesting to see reactions of others.... granted my buddy is in debt as it is... but I can't imagine he'll be the only one with a beef.

    This will sound awful, but people who were just looking for a cheap ticket are exactly the people that we don't want in the section. A supporters section is for chanting, singing, standing, not for the equivalent of the matinee movie crowd.

    Call Mike Quarino at the club office. I don't think they will have any problem working with you.

    The section clearly states Supporters Section. The membership costs go to fund the displays and tailgate hardware we need.

    This isn't a fan club, there aren't David Cassidy posters on the wall. ;)

    don't get me wrong, he is all for chanting, singing and standing.... he's just oppose the additional costs.... even though 30 dollars really is reasonable.... hopefully he'll come around.... otherwise me and friend 2 may end up eating an additional membership price for him.

    The section was discounted compared to the other end to account for supporter club membership. Plus, the language bolded below has been on the website and the tri-fold brochure.


    Moreover, SoB leadership has been upfront about this for a while. I paid earlier today though I am sitting elsewhere which has not been discounted to account for registered supporter club membership. Your friend has no "beef."

    Sorry if Im missing something here but can someone please clarify for me. If you are already a member are you now required to re-register and pay the fee? Also, I bought 4 tickets and my 3 friends are all SOB's as well but Ill be the one doing all the seat selection online ... will this be a problem since all 4 tickets are under my name? Cant wait until tomorrow afternoon !!!

    1) Yes, you need to re-sign up for the paid membership. If you signed up before, you'll stay on the mailing list, but only paid members get the full member benefits, including seat selection.

    2) Our understanding is that only the account holder needs to be a registered member in order to buy tickets in the section, but of course we encourage everyone to sign up.

    It said that I had to make 1-5 orders and I was ordering 1 but it wouldn't let me continue. I had an appointment and I thought it was a good idea to go away from it for a while. I will try again and see what happens.
