Sure tug on Superman's cape, piss into the wind, and pull the mask off the Lone Ranger too but it won't change things about coming late to events, talking to the movie, and cell phone decorum.
Under the East Stands, there's a huge bar and dining area on levels 2 & 3 with lots of TVs. If its hot, its nice in there with A/C. If its cold and windy, its heated. I imagine a lot of people who've paid for the suites are at the game, but inside.
Lets just say I sold my ticket for $125 and I was charged with scalping, I would have prove that $125 (which is what DCU sells the ticket for) is the face value to beat the charge. I can't do that with my digital ticket that explicitly says "Face Value $50". End of story here. If face value were $125, $155 or whatever, it would say, "Face value $125". It doesn't.
A) You're still wrong about the face value of your ticket, because of how dynamic pricing works. B) You're being overly paranoid.
I am not paranoid, I don't actually give a ********, except that every sporting event ticket I have ever had, had a face value, which was more than my STM price. Having just looked at the Ticket Details, there is nothing on there about dynamic pricing, which I understand fully, in the terms and conditions directly below the Face Value statement on which the ticket. It makes literally no mention of dynamic pricing. The point is trivial, if not meaningless, but FV is $50 one way or the other. Now DCU may have shit the bed here and just not reviewed this portion of the app/ticketing process, but thats not actually germane to this discussion. What pertinent are the actual terms and conditions which are stated on the ticket and govern any transfer.
You're wrong about what the face value of your tickets are, but it's clear I won't be able to convince you otherwise. Oh, and DCU advertises the ability to resell tickets as a STM perk, so there.
I take face value to mean what I paid for the ticket. But I am old and crotchety, or so I have been told.
Parking Panda has options as close to Audi Field as the Waterfront Metro station for $14, which I do not call obscene.
I admire you pursuit of being right and getting the last word. I couldn't find the 2018 benefits ... perhaps because there were so few. No where on this graphic or the page click through doesn't it state your rights on what you can legally sell your tickets for, or talk about dynamic pricing. The club is quite sheisty here IMO. Now, if you read the T&C from the ticket ... Not sure the screen cap will display from Google Photos, but go into your DCU app and read the actual terms and conditions as well as find your face value, you'll find that the clubs double talk and contract you have as the ticket holder don't actually jive. Clearly no one gets busted for scalping, but you're simply not correct and not willing to be convinced with actual facts. Seriously, go read the T&C on your ticket in the DCU app. Its quite clear.
United has had them for 22 years, it's just easier to see how many at Audi Field. Not an uncommon occurrence. Even those individuals who showed up at Redskins games dressed in women's (forgive the gratuitous gender specificity) clothing wearing pig masks missed a game now and then.
The MLS box score declares 20,249, anyone sure exactly how many tickets (seat and SRO) constitute a true sellout?
I believe they've been higher once or twice... Atlanta was one of them. But that's due to SRO tickets.
136 in the lower area was at capacity and then some. First time all season I’ve seen them checking tickets.
Oh yea, Sunday was the first time I have heard jack shit out of the club seat holders all season. There was some blown call down field from the United bench and the protest of the missed call was quite clear. Well done.
Dynamic pricing was introduced after the season began. I no longer even attempt to use either north gate although more convenient for me.
The haphazard exit gate situation continued; the NW gate had one set of doors closed as folks were leaving. Some of the security theater on the way in still involves many people showing up with bags and getting turned away. Also, the staff was sometimes stumped by whether or not to deem a bag oversize or within the "small clutch" category and allowed in. It all adds up to continued slow-moving security lines, after 15 games to work on the process. Still, it has improved since opening night, and I hope it can be a little better next year. In a more important development, the beer counter behind the north end has slowly improved over the season. Not a well-oiled machine yet, but the line was tolerable yesterday, unlike past games where I gave up and just got the canned stuff.
I messaged with Chris Hull about the checking tickets issue. He said he will tell people again. He seemed to agree that it was a real problem, but seemed frustrated that it hadn't been ironed out. Makes me thinks it's a CSC problem... that the team is struggling to get them all to understand.
Part of the bag problems relates to people thinking they are "special." Yesterday, there was a woman ahead of us in line who had a clear bag packed the gills that she was required to unpack. My wife said to me, "what did she do? Pack up her whole house and put it in there?" Sometimes folks need to use a little sense. My wife carries her phone in a combination wallet/credit card holder. That and sunglasses in a case are all she ever "packs" in. My daughter uses a tiny clutch purse. Really folks, it's not hard.
That they should or should not be checking tickets? I get the feeling that this is a all new CSC crew. I don't recognize any faces.
I find the stadium to be in a fun location of the city to go before and after the game. The sightlines are very good and the atmosphere when its full I find to be very good. Its not a fancy stadium like a Red Bull Arena or an LAFC but Ive really come to like the overall experience of going to a match there.
I am not the "city dweller" type so it's location does nothing for me. I find the restaurants in the area to be snooty same as most of the in stadium food. I am glad it appeals to you, though.
