Ron for decades has fought the 3rd party ticket market. For awhile, he had backers. Now he is the only AD in the country to not allow game time digital scanning direct from phone off third party apps and also not allow ordinary flips on property.
It has been over a decade since NC Supreme Court weighed in in favor of stubhub (much to my class clients detriment) & the NC legislature subsequently agreed: flopping tickets is 100% legal, smart, & normal.
Ron kept fighting. After wasting 6 million of our money on the Joel (no other bidder), he then hired off duty cops to kick ordinary alums off (their) property for trying to sell their extras for $5 each. When confronted with the reality that what they were doing was 100% legal, the response was “the AD says this is his property & he can do what he wants”
The resale of tickets has for years been mainstream. Programs like Duke & WF work with both brokers and third party websites too their benefit.
So to all those text messages you are receiving this morning from your colleagues trying to figure out how to get in, the answer is simple: “WF is a 3rd world country. Our AD lives in 1995. Buy your tix across the street or print them out at home. Enjoy your annual home game in Winston.”
