    Particularly when scalpers have consistently managed to get around whatever bot protection is put in place to buy out all the mispriced inventory ahead of the general public. IĀ  have no issue with up front dynamic pricing at all.Ā  Now if people want to bitch about tickemaster up front fees or 3rd party resale fees being exorbitant then I'm here for it.

    Yeah, being able potentially to abuse the market because you’re the only source and there’s no competition on fees is a separate issue.Ā 

    Maintaining artificially low prices in the face of high demand — whether it’s tickets, game consoles, or whether — is the biggest chunk of why scalpers even exist.Ā

    I would love to waste some time explaining this to you but just look it up. Monopolization, exploitation. See the 2005 Rose bowl, or more recently for a guy like you, Taylor Swift.

    If you’re the first vendor it should be first come, first serve, not dynamic pricing for starters. Dynamic pricing or scalping should be for the secondary market.Ā 
    Ā 

    Lookie there, you’re smarter now that you’ve learned this.

    First come, first served is the biggest part of why there are scalpers in the first place. There’s no reason why dynamic pricing should be limited to the secondary market. Fixed pricing is why it’s such a pain in the ass to get so many things with high demand because it utterly ignores demand.Ā

    Just an awful question, though. Kurt goes after enough click baity buffoonery without someone else asking ā€œother people sayā€ nonsense.Ā

    I know that is in jest, but on the $9.95 board it was a loss when he flipped to OU.Ā  But, he is perfect for OU, and had similar statements as Adrian Peterson saying they went to OU to win championships.Ā  F both of 'em.Ā Ā 

    Where would he be playing if he hadn’t flipped?

    I'm a cheap ass, but I eat like 1 maybe 2 funnel cakes a year so I'll fork over the extra few dollars given I just spent over a grand for a pair of tickets to a football game.Ā  The Texas State Fair funnel cakes are second to none and worth every penny dollar.

    Anyone with a fried pastry in his username gets a free pass from me on such choices.Ā

    They're completely different desserts. You're fucking brain dead if you think a churro is the same as a funnel cake.

    Clearly not the same. Churros are good. They’re both initially fried batter, though.Ā

    It's not even the same thing as a churro. That's like saying you prefer a pear to an apple. Churro's are more dense where as funnel cakes are fluffy and airy. Just stop with your hate man or I'll report you!

    They’re both fried batter. One is bland ass shit with powdered sugar and one is golden delicious awesomeness with cinnamon sugar and cajeta.Ā 

    This is where the goodness is.

    You're hating on funnel cakes, let that sink in....

    Like I said… sorry ass churro wannabes.Ā 

    Even without Scarlett Johansson, an average churro filled with cajeta is better than any funnel cake anywhere on earth. Always.Ā

    Shit take.....funnel cakes are amongst the top 5 fair foods no matter what.Ā 

    Ā 

    Ā 

    If you don't like funnel cakes at a fair regardless of price you're literally a Nazi.

    Ā 

    Ā 

    And if you don't like these nachos at a stadium you're definitely a Nazi.

    Sometimes I wonder if I’ve thought through all the permutations and arrived at a defensible conclusion. I know I have when I see you taking the opposing position. Ā

    Corn dogs are also like .20 cents tops food cost. It's not about the "what it's worth" it's about the experience.Ā 

    Funnel cake with your kid after a fun day on their first big ferris wheel is worth whatever they are asking.Ā Ā 

    No one is making any of you buy any of this shit, it's like bitching that Vegas has slot machines everywhere that take you money and don't pay out.Ā 

    I didn’t mention corn dogs because, yeah, fine, that’s part of the experience.Ā 

    Funnel cakes are a method of transport for fucking powdered sugar. When they’re good, they’re not good.Ā 

    I never claimed anyone was making me buy anything. I’m still, as far as I know, on pretty solid ground expressing an opinion on the prices.Ā 

    Hell, I just paid $600 for a ticket to a regular season game I knew was going to be a beat down. I’m not above spending money for an experience. That shit ain’t it.Ā

    To be fair they were under priced and just got correctly priced.Ā 

    I don't think the coupons are a scam and I like them. I always have $100 worth for next year when I leave intentionally and using the online ordering/pickup is quick and painless.Ā 

    Everyone that is bitching is acting like a 200k+ person event that happens once a year that has no real reported incidents that I can find of violence, Serious medical emergency or otherwise is just a whiny fucking pussy.Ā 

    Get to the fucking fair early, it's not hard. Everyone acting like they have something else going on all fucking day are blowhard assholes. No one is doing jack shit the rest of the day who is traveling to Dallas specifically for the game. Dallas residents have even less of an excuse.Ā 

    Everything is fried are you fucking morons gonna complain about the lack of healthy low calorie options next?Ā 

    There’s no funnel cake on earth not draped somewhere on Scarlett Johansson’s body that’s worth $12. Sorry ass churro wannabe things, anyway.Ā

    Despite the CFP name, it's not a playoff (where a team who deserves to get it does so). It's an invitational where they invite the bigger name that'll generate more buzz.

    Well, at least five of them nominally deserve it.Ā 

    What’s your method for determined who ā€œdeservesā€ it when there’s almost always insufficient overlap in schedules outside of conference play and wildly imbalanced conference strength to have an NFL-type method?

    Lost is one thing, but tickets are reusable from year to year. The way it’s been explained to me in the past its so vendors can avoid transaction fees, keeps cash out of the vendors possession, quicker transaction (in theory) than other methods.Ā 

    I’m sure they understand the factors better than I do, but I feel like transactions fees would be worth it in the long run relative to people saying ā€œscrew itā€ rather than get in line for more coupons or only needing a couple to top off a purchase which then doesn’t happen.Ā

    Eh this current MSU team challenged the Horns for a half in Austin, and Texas is far better than the ags.Ā  They challenged Georgia in Athens and only lost by 10, and Georgia is far better than the ags.

    Ā 

    Ā 

    ā€œChallengedā€ doing a lot of work there. ā€œFrustrated,ā€ but not to the point of actually making Texas adjust? OK.

    Blue and Cook hold on to the ball and even the frustration is gone. Granted, they didn’t, but that’s on Texas, not Mississippi State.Ā

    I wasn’t at the game and I still think Sark should have pulled Ewers if he came out and played poorly another series. He looked fucking awful. We won in spite of him and that won’t work this weekend.Ā 

    I admire your devotion to the double down of benching the starting QB after a month layoff and a few poor series in a one score game. I’m sure the shitstorm wouldn’t have created any negative consequences.Ā 

    Texas punted once after those first three series.Ā

    Worth watching again. (and again)

    The bonus here is Bowman with another absolutely shit angle to lose the chance to keep it to a 10-12 yard play. Maybe that’s one of the gifts for Texas.Ā

    You mean like the 2008 Big 12?

    Which conferences use a tiebreaker like that? Good luck finding a tiebreaker written so that Texas was guaranteed to go, even if there are articulable reasons why Texas should have.

    You could easily have a case where at least 3 of these teams did not even play each other and the deciding factor on who got to the game was a fucking coin flip.Ā 

    its a big MAYBEĀ 

    Ok, I’ll make an exception for a team that gets in on a coin flip… if that ever happens.Ā 

  17. Just now, hornbri said:

    Maybe? Depends on when the losses were, but losing the last game you play is going to have consequences.Ā 

    No ā€œmaybe.ā€ The conference already decided its two best teams.Ā 

    If your criteria set up an incentive structure not even to be in the championship game, you should rethink your criteria.Ā
