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?

Some of my friends and I do this.

I’m sure they overbook and don’t guarantee seating. Heck, we did that for free movie screenings. -- nm - Dano Jun 11, 15:04 18
- 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 17
  - because they're not getting as many people as they would like. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:20 16
    - 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 15
      - 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 14
        
        Obviously Donnie always claims there are thousands waiting outside. Dammit Reagen stop harshing my petty revenge. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:26 13
        
        Exactly. So by making people wait in line, you are *feeding* his narrative. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:26 12
        
        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 11
        
        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 9
        
        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 8
        
        I don't think you're frustrating anyone. -- (edited) - Reagen Jun 11, 15:36 7
        
        We have never seen a filled venue (BY FAR). -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 11, 15:37 6
        
        *BECAUSE THEY AREN'T GETTING AS MANY PEOPLE AS THEY WOULD LIKE* -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:38 5
        
        revert to where I said, at the end of the day, it's petty satisfaction for me. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:40 4
        
        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 3
        
        I didn't do anything to create the line. They would always have done that. -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 11, 15:46 2
        
        As I said, of course he'll lie about it. That's precisely why what you're doing is pointless and counter productive. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:50 1
        
        I respect your view. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:51
        
        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
