Thanks Nova, I tried translating it to football but it didn't make sense there either.Could you translate your post into English for those of us not fluent in whatever language you posted in? Just curious.
Does Pitt have football? Kinda questioning that todayIIRC, a couple years ago Pitt made the PSU football game part of a package -- you couldn't just buy PSU, you had to buy multiple games.
Maybe Lehigh is doing something similar here?

If Lehigh really is requiring packaged matches to also get the PSU ticket, then we need to counter with a 3 in State College, 1 in Bethlehem offer for the next series extension. Same should be offered to Pitt footballI don't imagine PSU would be happy if they are forcing people to buy 3 duals to attend the PSU one. I'd think it would make it easier to leave them off the schedule entirely in the future. Guaranteed sellout vs just another dual in front of 100 fans.
Their website advertises season tickets and a mini plan. Mini plan mentions buying two tix for other matches and receive tickets to PSU dual. No mention of individual tickets yet. I'd be surprised if they wouldn't let folks buy individual tix to PSU match, since they're moving to larger arena. Here's the link

The OP is simply saying the following:Certainly within their rights, and I know that is where we are, but.........
Sports Marketing 101: Use the big duals to drum up interest and revenue for other duals.
Also, as a bonus, you give your fans the best seats and keep the percentage of home fans at the match high. This second part would work nicely unless PSU fans would buy the mini plan
When will the Lehigh marketing geniuses figure out this will lead to good sales for Mich and Navy and no attendance. In fact they could sell out, have zero attendance, and not be able to sell tickets to the people that do come. Dumb, too dumb. I want to get Lehigh tickets and lead a group, but I will not pay the blackmail.Cost per capita for my group:
Total cost is $45 per person
Includes 2 Lehigh season tickets (MICH, NAVY)
-$8 each
And PSU tickets
-$21
And… $7 of “fees”

I agree with dblboofus, paid way too many fees, got cheap seats because of it, but we will be there with no three for one problem.
