Hey! Where's my free stuff?

by TwistNHook on Jul 26, 2008 6:36 PM PDT in Football

What happened to the free vouchers to the C level home game? And the free ticket to the volleyball and women's basketball games. And the free burrito! Sure, I rarely, if ever used some of those. But I like to have them.

This year, we didn't get squat. Except for like 7 "great deals on oil changes." My car runs on Marshawn power, I don't have any oil in there. This is great. Just great.

Well, like last year's post we have some shots of what the season tix look like. I don't want to push the posts below this on the page down too much, so I have placed them all on the inside of this post. Read on!

They shortened the tickets and made them fatter this year. I don't know why they made them choads, but the middle schooler in me is ecstatic! Go Bears!

I bought six tickets to the Arizona game on StubHub. I’m taking my AZ cousins. I bought the tickets on April 24, the game is Oct 18 and they won’t arrive by FedEx until Oct 14. Yeah, I’m just a little worried. Anyone ever had problems with StubHub?

Never.

They always deliver the tickets on time, and they give you a guarantee anyway. I would feel completely confident that they’ll get there on time. I wouldn’t worry, dude.

My dad had to wait a while and pay some mean markups for the Arizona game last year. I think Cal’s new official secondary ticket partner is seatexchange.com now.

According to some documents I received with the tickets, it is seatexchange.com now, yes.

I do not understand your analogy to choads in the context of season tickets, and I strongly urge you to consider medical help.

My first impression when I received my season tickets and seeing the Big Game tickets was that I have never seen that girl, ever, in my many years of attending Cal games. But then again, I never got to the student section early enough to be within spitting distance.

I think he drew statue duty for this morning. I just saw him grab his chisel and run off to the Great Hall Of Longshore.

Is the chisel for after the coughing? That’s why my doctor usually does.

Twist, you’d better do as he says.

Oh, and we’re almost out of statue polish. We can’t let this thing stop gleaming for even a moment!

hey roy or anyone, so do the students wear gold during a gold out as well? i wanted to make sure it wasnt all gold except for the students who wear blue or something like that.

by Itchy25 on Jul 27, 2008 12:45 AM PDT up 0 recs

i think we’re still in blue

by WilltheBear on Jul 27, 2008 1:32 AM PDT up 0 recs

students in blue

We are creating a “C of Gold”, remember? Without the students in blue, it would just be a gold blob. Anyway, I’m worried about the Gold Out. The AD didn’t and hasn’t advertised it in any way, the majority of fanbase doesn’t know about it, and I’ve heard that the number of shirts given out won’t cover the whole stadium. I just hope the AD makes it work and that the stadium isn’t a blue-gold mix.

by RollOnYouBears667 on Jul 27, 2008 7:07 AM PDT up 0 recs

I read information from Sandy Barbour, elsewise, that basically said they are trying to look for a sponser (to pay for the 10000000 shirts), but are having trouble. I cannot speak to the motivation of sponsers, but I guess gold tshits is not high on their list of things to sponser.

My prediction is that it doesn’t come to pass.

My guess is that more advertising will come closer to the actual game.

still

its not too much to ask to put a little something in the envelope that the season tickets come in, or put something small at the top of the website….

athletics doesn't want to get burned again

well, remember last year, when athletics said they’d be handing out plastic megaphones for the tennessee game? and then the pac-10 office said they couldn’t? athletics looked pretty foolish for committing to something early, only to not have it happen, and i’m guessing they don’t want to have that happen again.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

by ragnarok on Jul 27, 2008 12:37 PM PDT up 0 recs

true

but I’m not saying that they should say that they are going to hand out gold shirts. on the contrary, the shouldn’t mention that they are going to hand them out so fans buy their own instead of coming to the game expecting to get a free one, and the supply of shirts running out. they should put something on top of the page saying “Wear Gold to the MSU Game”, not “We are going to give you gold shirts to ear at the MSU Game”.

by RollOnYouBears667 on Jul 27, 2008 12:48 PM PDT up 0 recs

those megaphones...

i have access to a bunch. Let me know if you want one. Hopefully I’ll remember to check this thread. That’s a maybe. :)

I want one

but I also don’t want my house egged, so I won’t give you my address. Just kidding! But seriously.

jesus, twist

Do you ever center anything in your Word documents? I have a theory that you must have disabled that on your computer. Along with apostrophes.

I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.

by yellow fever on Jul 27, 2008 7:39 AM PDT 0 recs

I don’t write in word. I just do it in the browser here. And in the past when I have centered things, I have noticed problems when switching back and forth from wide and narrow. It’ll be centered in wide, but way off center in narrow. And/or vice versa. So, I just keep it simple with everything on the left.

They screwed up my tickets!

I requested Gold zone seats with family, but I received two blue zone seats. They admitted they screwed up, but by the time I got my tics it was way too late to get good gold zone seats, let alone ones close to the family. Oh well, at least I’ll be with my fiance.

Hey, can someone answer: does the season ticket package come via Fedex? They’ve been trying to deliver for the last 2 days, and I have the option of signing something on the delivery slip that says they can leave it at the front door. If it IS the tickets, then I don’t want them to leave it (too precious). If it ISN’T the tickets then who cares?

by Spazzy Mcgee on Jul 27, 2008 12:54 PM PDT 0 recs

yes, the tickets will come via fedex. you should just go down to their delivery center and pick them up yourself.

I'm on the last ticket!!!

Yippee! On the last home game’s ticket, yeah, the weird Washington game after Big Game and after Thanksgiving, I’m on the ticket.

Along with Oski, I’m dotting the first “i” in the script California. Yippee!

Of course, this particular year of the script California was definitely not our best. What’s up with the misshapen “C”? Why is the connector between the “a” and “l” so f*ed up? Who runs this band??? ;)

You think that’s special, well, guess what, I’m on (and this might give some of my personal info away) the Oregon ticket.
