- I'm going to get tickets for Tulsa and see if it says anything. Do you guys ever do this? get Trump rally tickets so there will be empty seats? - loosilu Jun 11, 14:55 35
  - I’m sure they overbook and don’t guarantee seating. Heck, we did that for free movie screenings. -- nm - Dano Jun 11, 15:04 17
    - We've discussed that. So, since we've done it, we have not seen a full venue. Is it because of people like us? We don't know, but we're playing the odds. -- nm* - loosilu Jun 11, 15:12 16
      - because they're not getting as many people as they would like. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:20 15
        
        It's obviously very mushy. WE're playing the odds, it gives us petty satisfaction. Your mileage may vary. (what is the Canadian way to say that?) -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:22 14
        
        I mean, think about it. They're free tickets. If people are waiting outside and they have empty seats, there's no reason not to let people in. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:24 13
        
        Obviously Donnie always claims there are thousands waiting outside. Dammit Reagen stop harshing my petty revenge. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:26 12
        
        Exactly. So by making people wait in line, you are *feeding* his narrative. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:26 11
        
        Nah. Guarantee they are all inside before he arrives. They need it too look as packed as possible when he swoops in. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:27 10
        
        Yes, but if people have to wait in line because they're waiting for ticketed people that aren't showing up "Look at all the extra people I'm drawing!" - Reagen Jun 11, 15:30 8
        
        Someone could write a dissertation on why Trumpers wait in line. It might be like tailgating. As I said, I strongly suspect it's like a Grateful Dead - loosilu Jun 11, 15:34 7
        
        I don't think you're frustrating anyone. -- (edited) - Reagen Jun 11, 15:36 6
        
        We have never seen a filled venue (BY FAR). -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 11, 15:37 5
        
        *BECAUSE THEY AREN'T GETTING AS MANY PEOPLE AS THEY WOULD LIKE* -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:38 4
        
        revert to where I said, at the end of the day, it's petty satisfaction for me. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:40 3
        
        and where you are helping to create a line that he can point to as evidence of how many people want in. - Reagen Jun 11, 15:42 2
        
        I didn't do anything to create the line. They would always have done that. -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 11, 15:46 1

        They need time to turn off lights and put up partitions to hide the empty sections. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:28
  - I mean, there's usually wait lists. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:02 10
    - I've gotten tickets to every single rally with no problem at all. -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 11, 15:13 9
      - Yes, but if there's people outside waiting in line, they're going to let them in. They may not fill the arena, but it's not because of "no ticket". -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:19 3
        
        I'm messing up their stats so they know they cannot trust ticket numbers. I take satisfaction knowing I'm fucking with them. - loosilu Jun 11, 15:21 2
        
        I don't think they care at all. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:22 1
        
        Maybe it's a placebo. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:23
      - That's kind of sneaky brilliant. How many tickets can one request? -- nm - JD Jun 11, 15:16 4
        
        Oh, also, put in any zip code you want. They don't care. I personally believe his rallies are like Grateful Dead fans going on tour. That explains his - loosilu Jun 11, 15:20
        
        Only 2. That's why we need numbers. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:17
        
        er, I could just read below *blush* -- nm - JD Jun 11, 15:17 1
        
        no worries :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:17
  - Intriguing ... what do they cost? -- nm - rollo Jun 11, 14:59 5
    - Zero. YOu can only get two seats. You have to give them your cell number (I know, I see it as the cost of the fight). - loosilu Jun 11, 15:02 4
      - How many phone calls a day do you get? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 11, 15:38
      - Yeah no thanks, I barely want my family to have my cell phone # -- nm - rollo Jun 11, 15:07 2
        
        Totally understandable. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:12 1
        
        If there was ever a time to abuse my work phone, this could be it -- nm - JD Jun 11, 15:18
