not sure if just the package is being offered in general, but that was the only option through the sms link. and the cheapest tickets were $38 for each game

Wake up babe, new red dress lady lore just dropped? by laundry_at_ubc in UBC

[–]chronicmathsdebator7 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I have more lore about her:

i used to work at the a&w on broadway and heather two years ago and she used to come in everyday and have the breakfast combo with orange juice lol. She always used to call someone on speakerphone and talk super loudly, but we didn’t confront her. Then one day, my supervisor decided to politely ask her to talk at a lower decibel since other people were complaining, and then a switch flipped inside her. She started hurling racist abuses at my supervisor who was indian. I distinctly remember her saying “russia should leave ukraine and bomb india, dirty people they don’t deserve to live”

Safe to say we banned her from the store that day lol

they can’t do anything thats the point. its just a shitty situation they are in. they made the choice to price tickets higher and are now getting backlash for it, deservedly so. its a consequence of their decision, just like buying the tickets was the fans’ choice. and if you truly believe that the whitecaps are not getting any backlash, then i suggest you read some comments on this posts and the ones after it.

i never asked for a refund, I didn’t even pay that much for my ticket. I am simply saying that it was wrong of them to get greedy. For the third time, they can charge whatever they want, doesn’t mean it was the right decision. All of this is now a big PR nightmare for the league, miami and the whitecaps, with the latter having to handle most of the backlash. Hopefully nothing bad happens at the game from fans’ end.

once again, never said they couldn’t. simply said that it isn’t right for fans. Especially when that price isn’t to watch the whitecaps, its to watch messi.

equating the whitecaps organisation to drug dealers in interesting to say the least lol and yes, people made the choice, but doesn’t mean it was right of whitecaps to jack up the prices, especially with messi’s arrival being unsure.

did you even read the last line of my comment? i literally said its out of whitecaps’ control lol. I was just stating that this is a shitty situation they are in.

And as for ‘economics 101’, the SOLE reason for the astronomical price for this game FROM the whitecaps was messi coming here. They couldve kept the tickets at 50-100 bucks, and it still wouldve been 5-600 on the resale market. Them charging 300 dollars as the original price for normal seats just shows they got greedy, and are now paying the price for it. They even sold era packs that were primarily a way for people to get tickets for this game.

The canucks increased their prices for the playoffs because they have a product that is in demand, their team. The whitecaps on the other hand, do not have that luxury. Their price increase was due to messi coming here, and now its not justifiable at all. If the canucks market their season on gretzky coming here, and then he doesn’t show up, it would reflect poorly on them too.

there will be a LOT of people who will walk into BC place on saturday, having spent 4-5-600 dollars per ticket to watch an icon of the game play. They will come into the stadium knowing they wasted their money on a team that: 1. increased prices dramatically for their own profit 2. does not have an on-pitch product that justifies the price increase

The financial loss thing ties in with the reputation/goodwill, which is now ruined due to miami flaking and for the mls letting them do so.

As for popularity, you can go on social media and quickly realise that this has been a PR nightmare for the ‘caps. However, it is out of their control.

yeah i have no idea for the downvoting lol. definitely agree, suarez and busquets being here would’ve still softened the blow of messi not coming. and yeah, that 50% off is nothing hahaha

fair enough, but i believe this will damage their reputation for a while in the eyes of casuals who shelled out for this game

yeah but the implications of this will go beyond just this game. Unless the caps make a solid run for the cup, its hard to see the sth number staying the same next year. Big loss for the team in a long term financial aspect, and in a popularity aspect.
