Asking rep for a one off favor
So here is the situation. Soocer related….I’m a season ticket holder in the supporter section. The cheapest safe standing tickets in the building. I didn’t set the price, i just buy the where the fun and action is. I had a partial season last year because my team (Columbus crew) were sold out and didn’t have full season tickets available and had nothing in our supporter section for full or half season. Welp of you follow the MLS we are in the rebuild currently(even more so today, going to miss Rossi)
So we are getting a woman’s team in 2028 and we held the NWSL challenge cup Friday night in Columbus. I bought moderate priced upper level (down low) at center pitch about 90.00 a ticket.
I reached out to my rep and said hey I have some special people coming to this game and would love the chance to watch the woman take the pitch prior to the game(we have a club on the pitch that connects to the locker rooms and they teams walk out and you can seem them from the club) I asked my rep if he could look into getting my guest and myself wristbands so we could watch the woman take the pitch as it was my first NWSL game. O got an email back saying we do t normally do this I’ll see what i can do, then got a call back the morning of the match saying sorry i tried real hard but couldn’t do it.
I was able to use a contact of mine who connected with their rep and got the wristbands no problem and gave them to me. My friends and I went down into the field club watched the girls take the pitch and i went down again after and got photos with a lot of the players. Thanks rose Lavelle!!!!!! Here is the thing, the stadium was empty and the field club was also empty. So you do get food and beverage in the club for the 200 ticket price and center pitch view and access to players post game. As i was waiting to get photos and tell the girls great job i sat and watched the staff dump hotdogs and food into the trash, lot tons. So it wasn’t about not having the food or the club was sold out.
Is this worth bringing up to my rep calling him out on his BS? Also i have the main directors of season ticket sales info and have connected with her prior. Again o know lots of season ticket holders and they have zero issues asking for a favor here or there. Again a higher paying season ticket holder was able to make one call and had 4 Wrist bands within an hour.
