    Since the beginning, anything about tickets, tailgating, uniform and logo changes, cheerleaders, etc. hasn't been in that forum.

    Generally, if it's a topic which impacts W or L, it goes there. This clearly doesn't unless it somehow leads to the Titans losing a draft pick which I somehow seriously doubt.

    I just read that they apparently wrote some of these off as military donations that can't be good can it?

    This is not news at all IMO. All NFL teams do this when the broker has a desire to buy the tickets. There is usually an agreement attached to where the broker has to donate any unsold tickets to Military families / Non Profit organizations. It's nothing new to the NFL or any large scale event for that matter.

    Doing this actually helps a lot of fans. If it were not for the sell outs games would not have been televised in the past. I would have not gotten to see a lot of the games if they had been blacked out. I say if it keeps in on TV I am fine with it. I do not see how it is hurting anyone. People that buy season tickets do so knowing the cost. If it is really that big a deal to them they can always just buy individual tickets.

    I am sure there are other points to it that I am not thinking of so I am not saying there is not another side to it. However, I am just glad the games are being televised.

    I tuned in to 94.9 just out of curiosity this morning, and OMG what a tool! That guy is a straight up joke.

    Look, clearly there is some story here. Two guys lost their job over it, and it was part of why McLachlan "resigned." But there is a reason this hasn't made national news... because a team dealing with a ticket broker isn't uncommon. I dont like it, but it happens all the time. I think where the story is here is that the team was screwing Metro on paying the user fees. But even that isn't national news. I just can't believe the way Plaster and The Game are trying to make this seem like the biggest sport scandal since the Black Sox.

    And this will overshadow the NBA and NHL playoffs along with MLB until the next little NFL scandal comes along.

    Completely agree. That Jared guy on The Game (I think that's his name) is terrible and has no idea what he's saying. You or I could do better.

    Plaster, seems disgruntled ever since he left 104.5 The Zone. I don't know any of the details, but to me it's always seemed that he's held a huge grudge against the station and in turn the Titans, since the zone is the flagship station for the team.

    spoke with a 'Jim' in Titan ticket office.

    I am livid after reading Phil Williams report. Just livid.

    They are all 'taking corrective actions' and 'change going forward'


    I want reparations! 40 mules and a gallon of Gatorade!


    seriously I did talk to Titans and they are gonna call me back again. Probably the security office - LOL

    I whinned about the horrid game day experiences in the last few years and how it makes sense now. I whinned and moaned about paying full price for exhibition games ect... I biotched about how worthless Titan tickets are and how even for the price of free they cant be moved... 'Jim' expressed disbelief at that but I assured him it was true. 'Jim' said his boss would call me later - we shall see...
