There is a zero percent chance that the ticket selling process for this event will be conducted properly.

Yep, they will. There's no other adult entertainment at GHOE so they could have Pee Wee Herman and sell out.

I wonder if we are at the point where we could have two alumni concerts: for the oldheads (32-50) and the super oldsheads (50+) ? LOL

LOL we reached that point a long time ago. the alumni ghoe concert "always" sells out every year, often in less than 2 weeks that tickets first go on sale. they either need to find a larger venue or like you said, consider sponsoring two alumni concerts. but please don't raise the ticket prices due to the high demand being completely off the hook, they're already "astronomically high" as it is. shoot, now that they're using eventbrite, i'm sure they will raise the ticket prices again this year to compensate for the cost of using eventbrite. and btw, lol, i resent the title "super oldheads"...

LOL I agree...we are long past the point of needing a second alumni concert. Still have the big one on Friday night and a scaled down concert on Saturday night. Find some good regional talent, add some light refreshments, provide a dance floor and charge $40 or $50 bucks a ticket. It might take a couple of years to catch on but eventually it will sell out too! There's absolutely nothing for senior alumni to do after the game and we still have a few bucks left in our pockets.

This is gonna be a cluster F. Website will probably crash within the first hour. I don't know. I just received an automatic email describing the process. Taking it off of paper and making everyone go through the website will eliminate the hookup system. However, this will upset the older alumni who are used to paying by check or cash

However, this will upset the older alumni who are used to paying by check or cash I'm totally in favor of any system that destroys the old time honored hookup scam that certain individuals heavily involved in the whole GHOE concert ticket purchase apparatus managed to perpetrate on both the general public and donors alike, especially over the last three years.
