Does Ray Jay validate that the actual ticket holders are in the seats?

They weren't checking the tickets in the entrance to my section. There were quite a few people finding their way into empty seats in the front rows.

Do they even have ushers at the bottom of the stairs going up to the 2nd level? We always come in through the Club, with the rest of the Chosen Ones, and out from there. The ushers at the top's primary concern is keeping the riff raff out the Club and, occasionally, halting the flow back to their seats right before a play starts .... which, as an aisle sitter, I really appreciate. We very rarely have problems with squatters in our section (214), or the next one over that I can see. If you've got the same people without the proper tickets repeatedly coming back into your section, and the regular usher/security isn't doing anything about it, I'd ask to speak to a supervisor.

I'm in 125. Ushers were there, but they didn't check for tickets.

Same in 126 tonight too.... And God dammit it security comes down one more time to threaten us with getting kicked out for standing WHEN APPROPRIATE I'm done with buying STH's to support this school.

If everybody is standing, wtf can they do??

Sounds like a lack of communication between USF and TSA.

Well violation, can't you get the rest of em to stand?. Civil disobedience is a powerful tool. Don't answer to the man.

I sneak friends down several times a year into our section but that is only after it is known that the seats near us aren't going to be used for the game. Hell I did it tonight at one enterance to the section they were checking tickets and at the other they weren't.

I just want everyone to know that I practiced great restraint in responding to this post. Therefore, I shall remain mute on this subject, forever forward. But it really was funny, at least to some of us. Edited by Bullwinkle

You **** socialist, how dare you? Don't you know that there are taxpaying US Americans, such as, the Iraq and the South Africa......Such as......

haha. We're good about it though. Normally we bring people down at the start of the 2nd or at halftime like we did tonight. We always make sure the seats are open and tell them if someone shows ur f'd and gotta move. That's only happened once or twice though.

The biggest pain is the view being blocked when they have to move :)

Was this in the front rows near the beginning of the game? That led to some exaggerated self policing by those around me :)
