Alright - hoping someone can help me out here - a little frustrated.
In year's past my group (3) tailgates with some good friends of ours (also a group of 3) but we have not had seats near each other. So we hang at the tailgate, but do not sit together in the games.
This year, we decided that I would buy tickets for all 6 of us, and the other group could just put in their donation and buy a parking pass separately. This way, we could get 6 seats together, and still tailgate in the same lot (its the Monarch Village lot, which is the cheapest lot, and is grass so no assigned spots).
My friend went to sign up for their tailgate pass and was told by admin that for whatever reason they could not do it. They said that we have two options:
1) Refund 3 of the tickets to me, and then have their group buy 3 tickets plus the parking pass...then whichever of us has lower priority points, we wait until that person's appointment to buy tickets, and both sign in at the same time and try and get tickets together. This seems like a horrible idea to me, and likely that something will go wrong and we will be separated.
2) Their group buys an additional General Admission ticket for $100 and then they can get a parking pass and we could try and sell the extra ticket. Don't like this either - doesn't seem fair to make them buy an extra ticket that they won't even use.
I don't like either option and don't understand why the admin can't just let them buy a parking pass. The same amount of money is changing hands (6 tickets, plus two ODAF donations for the pass). We aren't trying to game the system - we just want to sit together.
Anyone in a similar situation? How do you handle?
Dr. Chandler - any way you could assist here?
