The River End: assigned seating or General Admission

But there aren't enough people buying tickets in the river end to fill the river end. So what does it matter? If it were ga, we'd have empty sections on the ends

 

Just saying, Id rather have empty ends, then empty seats here and there. Not saying GA is good. Just a side note..... I don't even sit in TRE so my opinion is not valid either way. No GA in the Club section for me please.

 

I think the River End, or at least part of it should have been GA from the get go. But it wasn't and it won't be now for the reasons Celt and others have spelled out. This continuing discussion is inane.

 

RE season ticket holder here, I am definitely against GA.

 

People in Portland already camping out for GA spots for Sunday game vs Seattle. Just solidified my stance on no GA.

I'm gonna regret topping this

 

Every time someone bumps this thread Zolo kicks a puppy. Sh!t, now I've done it!

 

So glad the River End is assigned spots. That Portland situation is brutal. Looks like a black friday sale.

 

Some people have said "pro and con" but the con of assigned seating is very much based on theory because it has never been tried and should not be tried. The great part about assigned seating is the sectional "families" that have cropped up (I see you, 138) and if you want a different perspective you can swap your ticket at the FO if there is a valid need, or wait and go choose one at the beginning of next season, much like a high schooler going from grade to grade and getting a new homeroom. As many others have explained it is great to have assigned seats because you feel like you own an actual stake in the RE and are not just part of the mob. Much better to have camping out on a non game day to pick your assigned seat one time than to do this ritual at every game. I really like how the union fans can trickle in and find their seats or they can participate in the march from the parking lot. The point is, the assigned seats gives the union fan MORE CHOICE of how they want to spend their afternoon and a pre-defined choice of where they will eventually sit. The camping out for a seat ritual interferes with the parking lot rituals we already have. When an individual person needs to remove themselves from a section to sit with their friends, it's easy to do with assigned seats because there is an 80% chance that either the seat in front of you or next to you has space for that one more because of a no show. If that person arrives, of course you should yield. In a GA environment, there would be less yielding, and more shoving, and how the heck are you supposed to go to the bathroom? Hey guys, can you watch my seat? What if you all have to go. Oh No no nono non o n o no . Kill this thread now. I can't think of a single legitimate gripe with assigned seating.
