Yeah, I still have no idea what you're pissed about. Go to xhamster. In the search bar, type in skull fucking and press enter. Click on a few videos. Look at the person being skull fucked. Look into their eyes. Ask if you want that to happen to you. Think of how you would feel if it did happen to you because it just fucking happened to me, pal. Try to show some god damned empathy.

My neck is still sore from the skull fucking I got, so I apologize if this rant doesn't make sense. Here's the thing - the reseating priority is based on a formula that gives 3 points for each year of season ticket purchases and only 1 point per $100 of donations. So by virtue of our age, we had our seats for 8 years for 24 points based on ticket purchases and some 65 year old fuck who has had seats for 40 years would have 120 points based on ticket purchases (and assuming they had been in the same seating tier, donations would have been equal yet they would have jumped us in the line by a week by virtue of the years of purchase rather than donations). I guaranfuckingtee you that some old fuck got the seats based on that because our seat neighbor gives the minimum each year to renew, but he has had seats bince he graduated in the early '80's and so he picked several days ago. HappyChef paid extra to get to the GoldenHawks level for the past two or three years, but the aggregate donation needed to pass some fuck with long term tickets (e.g., 40 years) in our case would have been liek $10k in excess of the required donation to keep the seats. That's my problem with it and it is the same bullshit at Carver - you overweight the fuck out of long term purchasers and ultimately piss off younger folks and fill up the decent seats with blue hairs who donate the minimum. Sure, I suspect there is some minimal shakedown and additional contribution effect at work when you do this, but in the case of our seats, I would be shocked if the school generated another fucking nickel of revenue by fucking us out of our seats. I've got a call into my estate planner guy the firm advised me hire when I made the P and I'm telling him to switch "University of Iowa College of Law" and "University of Iowa Foundation" out as the residual beneficiaries of the trust I'mma setting up and I'm funna have him put a note in the file reminding me to never designate these cocksuckers as beneficiaries. I am fucking livid. I can't wait until the fuckers from planned giving call me to check in. If this was supposed to be a shakedown, they should have run the fucking thing like a shakedown. They should let some old fuck try to take your seats and then give an opportunity for a boosted donation or auction to allow you to keep them. That is how they would make more money. I would have no problem forfeiting the seats due to pure economic force if we got straight up outbid, but when I go up there and see some cocksucking baby boomer welfare queen in my fucking seats, I'm gonna lose my shit. Who am I kidding? I'm fucking done. I fucking agree with this rant. My sister purchases 9 tickets. Her 4, my 3 and my dads 2. We pay her for them of course. We all thought about donating the $50/per set donation for the new required donation to sit the the crappy south endzone seats but then she figured out she'd have to donate over $5000 to get a 1 or 2 point increase to make a difference at all. So that's bullshit. Money should talk too...a lot. Well for $5k donation, you would have gotten 50 points plus 20 points for donation level this year. 70 points total. That probably would have moved you up a lot if you are bidding in the endzones, but if someone had tickets for 24 years longer than you, they would still be ahead of you without donating a fucking penny. So those season tickets that cost $25 a year in the 70s are worth more than donations today. That is the fucking glitch in this thing. Plus, they just fucking reseated in 2006. You reseat when there is a fundamental shift like the renovation/movement of the student section or if prices move up because you have demand well in excess of supply (e.g., if they moved the current $400 level to $600 level or some shit). You don't just fucking reseat out of the blue and decide to do it on the heels of a 4-8 season. These cocksuckers had what, zero fucking sellouts last year? It's abundantly clear that something has happened with these millennials and they ain't gonna be as diehard of fans, either, because college arenas across the land are having major student section issues. So how do these fucksticks respond? Double down on the baby boomers and old fucks who will be dead or too sick in 10 fucking years to go to games anyway. I'm fucking done, though. I like coming over and crushing brews with y'all (granted I was derelict in this duty last year and for that I apologize), but after this skull fucking I am royally pissed. I will only go with my buddy to sit in the club, but I ain't ever buying tickets or going in on a group of seats at that shitbag place ever fucking again. I had just hit a point where I got over their total fucking bullshit nickel and dime nonsense shit that they pulled on me when I was a student and was going to make a donation out of my April quarterly distribution that would have put me toward the top of the donor list in the law school magazine, but fuck those clowns in their fucking ear. Hell, it's for the best, Greater Chicago Food Depository and mah puppy's animal shelter need the money more than those fucking crooked cocksmokes in Iowa City. After this bus hit the animal shelter, they are in dire need of funds and I have to commend Barta for helping me decide where to donate.

It would seem to me that if you've had tix for 25 years, you've donate more than the person who has had them for 8. System seems fine to me.

And it would seem to me that if you were a 17 year season ticket holder in 2006 when they redid the seating and you passed on the back fucking row back then, you should sit on a dick and spin. I'm a petty fucking man. I got an absurd bonus one year and the law school called liek a week later. I considered it for a moment, but then I went on a rant about a time I got a bullshit $15 parking ticket and it has taken me 8 years after graduation plus the law school falling off a revenue cliff and into an existential crisis for me to get past that and get to the point where I was actually going to make a donation. This action by Barta and his henchmen has irreparably severed any obligation I feel to that place. If I'm still bitching about a $15 parking ticket from 2004, you can bet your sweet ass I ain't gonna forget about this skull fucking for a long, long, long time. As for the parking ticket, they had a 5 minute loading zone spot in front of the law school. Two parking spots there. I had a timer on my watch (it had an obnoxious beep and I would turn it on every time someone started rambling in class as a signal to them that they were wasting fucking time). I parked and started the timer and ran down to my locker to get some shit. BSed with someone for a minute. Get back upstairs and head out to my car. Three minutes, forty some seconds. Had a ticket waiting. Called to bitch and they called me a liar. To me it is endemic of the assholes who run the place trying to squeeze every fucking nickel out of everyone they can today with no fucking regard for long term consequences. It's like Mediacom, but worse, because Mediacom doesn't fucking call begging for god damned donations every 6 months or send the CEO and a big contingent of people to Chicago to take me out for drinks every August to beg for money in person. To quote the great Rust Cohle - “There’s no such thing as forgiveness. People just have short memories.” I don't have a short memory.

Is this commending mah rant or an advertisement for Northwestern? Because if it's an advertisement, I'd liek to point out that they have nevah fucked me. In fact, they raised ticket prices by liek $50 this year and mah ticket rep called me to apologize for the price increase AND offer me seats closer to the 50 before available seats got reshuffled into the general renewal process.

I assume they are taking another inch out of the width of every proles seat so they can add fifty new baller seats. I will continue to watch from home for most games. (Just like my buddy Erk)

Yes, yes they are. Getting wider that is.
The seats i most often sit in are in the shadow of a prole that must weigh 4 spins. He honest to god takes fully half of each seat east and west of him plus 3/4 of those north and south of him. He should be paying for four seats.

At least I never had to leave at halftime and go sleep in my car, because I was too drunk to stay for the entire game.

Sports tickets of real institutions get handed down from generation to generation. There have been estate disputes in Crook County over Cubs and Bears tickets. My buddy in NY had had the same Jets seats for like 20 fucking years and when they offered him better seats for the same price, he told them to fuck off because his Jets group had become like family and when a guy who sat near them died, he was at the dude's funeral. Racerhawk has had the same seats for his whole life, but I think he got them through an old family member. I am of the opinion that you only upset that balance for a really fucking good reason, you don't do it for a one-time grab of 50 or 100 grand - fuck, I'd be surprised if they even made that. If someone is making their fucking annual donation, take it, don't fuck with them and don't dick them because some asshole who is 10 or 20 years older than them has had tickets longer.

Actually the people you should be pissed at are all the Staff and former staff ticket holders that have great fucking seats and don't have to donate a red fucking cent and most probably never have who never lose their seats.

My pops is 72 and loves coming to games. We have tickets on the 10 next to a tunnel. It's perfect for him because he doesn't have to climb a bunch of steps and we are on the end. There's an annoying old lady that sits above us, but damn if she wasn't super nice to my 8 year old son when he came to his first game last year. Why the fuck would you want to ruin those sorts of experiences over a few bucks. What they don't understand is people will come to games regardless of the play on the field if they are coming to IC to see familiar faces. I'd love to keep those seats forever and would pay extra to do so.
