How do y'all know he hasn't had family problems or got a internship out of town after having to sign up for a sports pass? He may not be in town anymore to make the whole season so what's wrong with selling it??

---

So listing it for $900 is ok?

Also if they sell them it HAS to go to anothe student. If it doesn't then the buyer HAS to purchase a guest label which brings the ticket back up to the unsubsidized full price to the university. No problem here

Ragnar supporting a subsidized system in the name of free markets is a hypocrite and moron.

Well, its a black market that exists outside of the subsidies, so it is, in fact, the freest market there is. Also, sweet English skills.

Are you really insulting people about this? Its a discussion on an anonymous message board...

If you already bought it and then find out you can't make it why not get top dollar price you can? I don't support buying it just to resell but that's not all cases. Plus it's a very minimal amount compared to how many are sold

This. I've purchased a sports pass from friends of friends at TAMU the last few years and again this year, albeit all for the student price since they weren't buying them in the first place, weren't looking to make a profit, and/or only wanted to go to a game or two. I still have to pay TAMU for the quest sticker.

***IMPORTANT**** Resale of student tickets/sports options for profit is prohibited. Student sports options are heavily subsidized by season ticket holders. Former Students and Aggie fans have long been committed to maintaining the quality and size of the student allotment at Kyle Field. In return, Texas A&M students, the 12th Man, are expected to honor this commitment by not reselling for profit their student tickets. These tickets, home and away, are for student use ONLY. Texas A&M students are prohibited from reselling sports options/student tickets (home or road) for profit. Students found to be in violation of this policy will be penalized. Penalties include the cancellation of sports options, cancellation of tickets already pulled, and the loss of sports option privileges for the duration of their Texas A&M career.

Wow...IMO any student who wants a sports pass should be able to get one.

Don't they not even work without a student id?

Can you get by on 3 ozers in one semester?

This listing got more interesting since I first posted it here. I have ID'ed this individual, who do I contact at A&M with my information?

Yes, you have to pay a conversion fee. Which is how the AD could put an end to resale of student tickets for profit if they really wanted to - stop selling the conversions.

But they probably won't do that because they like the extra little revenue.

We all shoudl all send texts like the one in the OPs link just to piss them off.

When I was a graduate student in Austin I bought as many tickets that they'd let me buy (four to each home game and 2 to OU) and sold them on hornfans.

Those dumbasses paid for my masters degree.

tickets@12thmanfoundation.com if you have identified someone in violation of the policy.

Conversions are intended to let students bring guests (family & friends) while making sure all student tickets get used. They're an integral part of what makes our system work. Let's work on those selling for profit before penalizing those who use conversions for their intended purpose.

Why can't we go back to the Fran days when a third of the 3rd deck was empty?

Seriously, since when has there ever been an issue with a student getting a sports pass and football tickets? Is that actually a problem this year? If it is not an issue, all arguments are invalid and you can do whatever you want. It's supply and demand.

I really hope your first comment about a half empty student section was sarcastic.

Yes, demand easily exceeded supply this year. That's why this is an issue.

Until the student pay for PP, a capital campaign donation, and a PSL I do t think it's right for them to sell heavily subsidized tickets for profit. Face value to another Ag, sure.

My next word was "seriously", so....
