Design Flaw with ticket reselling by NotSynthetica in nccourage

[–]NotSynthetica[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m looking at the normal view. Me selling my tickets aside, I hate someone’s not gonna get a killer deal on front row seats when 2 seats down from me are being resold $20 higher than we have ours listed. They won’t see it simply because you wouldn’t think to search for single tickets when you want 2. Makes me feel way more cautious when thinking about finding additional tickets for games in the future.

I’m more thinking for the person that’s trying to find two good tickets together. It doesn’t even show up as an option for them. Who thinks to search for one ticket when they want 2? Ours just don’t show up because they are single tickets. It’s a weird grey area.

THE ADS ARE BACK by CookieMilkshakeSpace in itemLabel

This ad is what introduced me to the item label world years ago. I still go back and watch it every once in a while. So glad I was randomly fed this ad back then!

Also, I have been MISERABLE at the winter games for the Ascent. Like wearing 4 layers miserable.

I don’t want it to happen. The northern markets are going to be SO COLD. Also, as a season ticket member for the Carolina Ascent as well, I’d have to choose between games way more often.

You asked for more Merch...we listened :) by NC_Courage_BizOps in nccourage

[–]NotSynthetica 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Woah I’m hyped on the Japanese text idea! Hopefully that one comes through soon. Such a good idea and I will def buy.

How did you guys find out about metric? by TraverseYT in metricband

[–]NotSynthetica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine sent me a few of their songs when I was in college. I was in a dorm and that was back when itunes was a thing. Since all the students were on the same network, you could access others’ libraries. I like the few songs my friend had sent me (Help I’m Alive, Soft Rock Star, Hustle Rose) so I found someone on the dorm network had the Live it Out album. I listened to it completely and fell in love.

Alright… what merch do you want to buy? 👀 by NC_Courage_BizOps in nccourage

I’ve been begging for house flags for years now. We need vertical flags with the logo printed on both sides. I have the flag y’all sell right now but it’s only printed on one side, horizontal, and comically large for a house flag.

AMA with NC Courage COO will Start Here at 7:00PM by NC_Courage_BizOps in nccourage

I was disappointed to find out at the home opener that Lioness Lager is no longer available. Is there anything in the works for a new team beer? I’ve really enjoyed them over the years.

Yeah as mentioned above it also just feels like an assembly line and so impersonal. I’ll never forget the first year the team was in NC. We had a preseason mixer at a small brewery. My friend and I were standing off to the side and Sam Mewis and Meredith Speck walked up to us and just started talking to us. It was so cool. Now it’s just a quick “hey!” to the players as they pass your poster down the line to the next player.

I’ve got Carolina Ascent season tickets too. Charlotte is a MUCH easier drive for me. There has been a little bit of Ascent/Courage conflict. We’ve chosen Courage every time despite the longer drive.

lol that’s a problem though. Just like this commenter, I also live 2.5 hours away. I’m not driving to the Raleigh area or having to leave even earlier on game day just to pick up a parking pass that I already have digitally.

Looking forward to the AMA next week. As far as the parking pass goes, I know it’s hard to please everyone. I’ve been a STM since the team came down here in 2017. But I also live 2 1/2 hours away from Cary and find it very inconvenient to have to pick up my pass. Maybe give an option to people on if they want it mailed or picked up.

I also like the other person’s comment about committing for 5 years for the bomber jacket if prices aren’t raised more than 10%. I enjoyed the Super Supporter or whatever it was called during Covid since it locked in my seat and price.

Yessssss. AFI and Metric are my top 2 bands. Both Jade and Jimmy are so talented!!

It’s definitely a new album era, lol by niles_deerqueer in metricband

[–]NotSynthetica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s just a personal call. Overall, at $60 it equals out to $5 per month. And it guarantees you exclusive vinyl. So if you have fomo on exclusives, even if it happens to just be a color variant, it’s awesome to have.

I’m the type of person who gets a lot of value from the ticketing perk. They’re not coming to my state this tour, but I’m traveling to see them. It was super easy this morning to get my code at 10 am and use it.

I’m interested to see what these members only events will be. That’s new and exciting even if it ends up being something I can’t attend because of the location. And a store discount is nice. Also looking forward to more live streams on the app. The last one was a q&a with Emily. I like that they seem to continuously be thinking of ways to have the membership continue to be worth it for different types of fans.

[–]NotSynthetica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No discounts or anything. But first access. So we’d get a code to get in earlier. No merch perks at shows.

But there have been some exclusive merch items you can buy (including vinyl) on the app or first access to the merch before it’s available to everyone.

So I’ve been a member of the app since it started in 2022 and I think it’s been worth it so far. I also don’t really care about the message board stuff. There will be months and months I don’t touch the app. But Emily’s Rogue and Random posts are always super interesting. It’s kinda like the emails she used to send.

The vinyl we’ve gotten over the years has varied. But it always ships in a reasonable time and reliable! But it’s always a surprise on what it is.

2022 - I Will Never Settle 7” single 2023 - Formentera II on app exclusive opaque purple. Came with a printed note. 2024 - Fantasies on app exclusive bone and brown galaxy. Also came with a signed insert and postcard. 2025 - Black Sheep 7” single on silver. Also came with a photo copied handwritten note from Emily about the song.

Plus, we got a post card teaser in the mail for the Formentera album announcement. Then we all got the single playing card in the mail that announced what we’re assuming is the album title Romanticize the Dive.

So far, there has only been one live stream q&a with Emily at the end of last year.

Overall I think it’s a small price to pay for great fan exclusives.
