NC, obviously I agree with you.
However, this is not a new thing. The last time there was open seat selection, the same thing happened. So, I don't anticipate any changes going forward.
How does WB take away seats to corporate entities for the money they contribute? He can appeal to them, but that's it. I've watched these seats for years, and they are regularly empty, or filled by fans from visiting teams (I suspect these entities who get these seats give them to these visiting fans for business purposes).
In the quest for increased funding came the implementation of seat premiums and increased season ticket costs. The same thing happens in FB, but it's not as noticeable because of the difference in size between Lane and the Cassell.
When I first started posting info on seating, vthokieq pointed out that the HC/AthDept must hate to see me coming because I post on TSL what information I find out. That makes me annoying, not effective. WB could care less about the empty seats. He sold the seats, raised the money, and his job is done (thus my use of the word corporate). Not continuing Hokie Ticket Share just exacerbated the situation. Buzz, on the other hand, wants to see butts in the seats.
