  1. BTW, what is face value this year, just out of curiosity?
  2. Yep. People paying insane, unjustifiable prices for the tickets is a huge part of the problem. Then you have 'brokers' (institutionalized, legitimized scalpers) cornering the market by buying up all the tickets online, creating a false sellout and then resetting the price level on their own. Internet-based ticket sales have given them the means to control both the buying and the re-selling. I've already been priced out of most of the stuff I love - F1, at least in the US, Texas-ou, MLB for the most part, etc. I could pay the prices, but it's not something I can justify in any reasonable way. I just can't justify spending a grand for 2 of us to sit in shitty seats for Texas-ou, or spending $1500 for 2 of us to go sit in GA at COTA for F1 weekend. And of course the prices go way up from there. It's fucking crazy, and sad. I was lucky last year with TX-ou. Afriend in the AD gave me very nice tix out of the blue. I guess that's pretty much my only way in from now on.
  3. Looked a minute ago and the cheapest I saw on tickpick was $400, and that was a single. Unreal. The internet + the 'brokers' have completely fucked the secondary market for tickets to just about anything.
  4. Are there still paper tickets being sold outside the stadium? Seems like buying an e-ticket outside the game might be problematic with phone issues, etc.
  5. That kind of thing has been suggested before (I think with Haas even, when they entered). It's not practical and never happens.
  6. Exactly. And solo teams that aren't trying to win it either & are just happy to be there?
  7. That's a start. Now make 'em lighter.
  8. 2025 or 2026. I've heard both. But remember, it's not over yet.
  9. The FIA has called FOM and the teams' bluff, forcing their hand, while covering their own asses and leaving FOM twisting in the wind with no options that they really like very much ... and it's beautiful, imho. I think in the end the teams and F1 will realize the best option is to just put on their big boy pants and let Andretti in. They won't like it ... but they don't have to like it. They've put the ball squarely in FOM and the teams' court, who will have to live with the consequences of whatever decision they make.
  10. FIA approves Andretti application for 11th F1 team slot https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/fia-approves-andretti-application-for-11th-f1-team-slot/10527926/ https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/12957252/andrettis-f1-bid-given-fia-green-light-as-new-team-one-step-closer-to-joining-championship
  11. You are literally the dumbest fucking poster on this entire board. Congrats...I guess. You gotta think bigger. He's the dumbest motherfucker on the entire internet. That's quite an accomplishment.
  12. Dude's getting absolutely destroyed in the comments lol.
  13. LMAO. That was my first thought, too.
  14. Fuckin' Collinsworth. So now whenever a Jets QB fakes a handoff like we've seen a bazillion times, it's an "Aaron Rodgers sell job". JFC.
  15. Seriously. DFW mfers, get off your asses and do some work!
  16. Yeah wasnt able to. It was one of those digital ones that switches ads Turn your ass around!
  17. The most 'Rangers' thing ever ... LMFAO.
  18. Berroa 3 up 3 down in the 7th though.
  19. Re: the Mariners, no matter how much or little the rest of the team cares about this game, I guarantee the dude on the bump (Kirby) cares & doesn't wanna give 'em anything at all.
