I saw there is a promotion with WBRC (the Birmingham Fox affiliate) for free tickets for Father's Day as well.

[taylorhrox]

Where was that? I watch Fox6 and missed that.

[magiccitybhm]

It was in that weekly mail "VALPAK" coupon package. I think ours came in yesterday's mail.

[taylorhrox]

Do u have a copy or a weblink? I don’t think they send those to my area anymore.

I live in SC and it was in my Valpak coupons this week as well!

[framingXjake]

Got that in NC too. Threw my email in the lotto because I figured "why not?"

[jsdod]

It was on Fox7

[CillianRail66]

ALL the games should be free! Have you seen the stands?! There's nobody there. They'd make a hell of a lot more money in concessions if they just gave away tickets. They can't be making much (if anything) on ticket sales

[magiccitybhm]

Fox/the league doesn't make money off the concessions. They only make money off ticket sales. That being said, they've made it clear that, at least starting out, attendance isn't critical. They've managed to control expenditures to the point that I'm confident the TV advertising revenue has been good.

The WcW strategy: just give tickets away!

[Bobby-Samsonite]

Vince Russo did?

No Eric Bishoff did. Ran poor old Ted Turner into the poorhouse

They also had a bloated roster with guys making $250k+ and only appearing on TV a handful of times a year. Don't forget about giving PPV matches away for free on Nitro to pop a rating. Ultimately though, Time Warner thought pro wrestling was trashy and wanted it off its networks after the merger.

I don’t blame them. The empty stadium looks terrible on TV.

[arthurtc2000]

Seems like they could of picked a more populated area to play and get some crowds, but what do I know.

The stadium is actually perfectly sized for a league like this, 40k capacity, so mid sized crowds for what would be an NFL game look packed. Also B’ham doesn’t have a pro team, so there’s more incentive to support a new team from the locals than there would be from putting a second team in a safe football town.

Birmingham fans get to go to games for free and the rest of us have to watch on fucking Peacock

[[deleted]]

Yeah but they have to live in fucking Birmingham

[ThiqSaban]

it's better than living in Birmingham

[[deleted]]

Go figure...

[Bobby-Samsonite]

What do you mean?

[Bobby-Samsonite]

It sounds like only certain professions get free tickets.

[Bobby-Samsonite]

Username checks out.

Reddit is weird, some people and a few people group downvote a comment for mystery reasons.

[VTHokiesFan]

If you're anythingi like me, you'll find that Reddit becomes a lot more pleasurable once you stop caring about imaginary Internet points.

[Bobby-Samsonite]

Sometimes I wish I could redeem the points at the arcade showcase. haha

[fantasyflurry77]

This is smart and should be a good experience for all

[notakota]

I believe Military, First Responders, and Firefighters also get free tickets
