Do non Loyalists know about E32?

Soccerchick · 07-27-2005, 02:16 PM

So at the game this weekend, I was sitting-more like standing in Sect E32 , row 6, and during the beginning of the game some non loyalists-late commers came up to us and said we were in their seats. We just apologized and told them that we were with the Loyalists and tried to explain that everyone stands up for the game, they just looked at us like they didn't know what we were talking about.....we scooted over so they could sit.. We'll after 5 minutes they realized that they could not see the game because obviously everyone around them was standing. They got up and moved to a higher row so that they could sit. Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a way that people could receive some kind of warning before buying tickets? Could signs be posted? Any ideas?

I was under the impression that the people selling tickets knew it was the Loyalist section and were telling people that it was, I guess I was wrong though. I know at the beginning of the season we had a sign up that told everyone that it was the Loyalist section and what went on in the section which I think helped more people understand, but that sign seems to have disappeared.

You can also buy them online without ever talking to anyone. If you do, there is never any mention about the Loyalists or that the section is a little different than normal. I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often.

I've seen it happen several times. We try to yell (you try talking quietly in the Loyalists section), "This is a special general admission section. They were supposed to tell you that when you bought your tickets. You're free to have your seat, but this section stands up during the whole game so if you want to sit down, you might want to snag a seat somewhere else." And then smile.

Yeah, I've bought tickets to the game online in sect E32 and it never mentions anything about the standing "criteria." I wonder if a little disclosure could be added online for people buying tickets there?

We should definately talk to the FO about that...

They were probably from Dallas 🙁 They should have gotten into the swing of things and joined the fun. Again, they were probably from Dallas.

No wonder they wanted to set down. 🙂

I think this is one of those things where the FO could be a lil' more obvious, maybe. Do they still have the sign up in RES by the section? It's be nice if they just didn't sell tickets in the bottom rows (nearest the field) of that section unless demand was high. You don't want the section to be empty but you know the FO's slaves... I mean, the Loyalists are going to be down there standing and yelling and singing either way.

I believe we prefered to be mocked by being called stooges as opposed to slaves.
thanks
