9ers fans banned from LA on Sunday

[brucebruce]

solution:

Option 1: Rams buy up all re-sale seats and have some sort of verification that you are a Rams fan to pick up the day of the game. Pain for the fans but ensures a great in-stadium experience. In the future, do not allow resale of playoff tix and figure out other ways to make it easier on fans. Rough guestimate, it'll cost the Rams $1M (maybe double) but worth it.

Option 2: Billionaire Rams fan does the same and becomes Rams deity and sports legend.

Ultimately, the organization knew opposing fans, especially SF (and specific other teams), would make for an undesirable Rams home environment. They dropped the ball. LA is a transplant city with built-in opposing fan bases and it's a destination city for opposing fans to travel to. It's on them for not having a plan. But still fixable for the upcoming NFC chip game and beyond.

This issue is very simple.

A Rams fan can buy a ticket 3 times the face value just as easily as a whiner fan can buy that ticket. Yet the whiner will put up the bucks that a Ram fan may not.

The solution will never be the ill attempt of trying to keep the fans out with some kind of ticket process. The solution is the team use their world class venue with visual and audio systems that can be part of the solution. How about an organized "DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE" lead on that awesome screen board! There can be smart ways to take advantage of this system.

Then maybe it discourages these asshats from going to the game with the advantage we have that will be impossible for them to duplicate.

GO RAMS!!!

The problem isn't that there are not enough devoted rams fans. The problem is the cost. As an owner I would would much rather see more rams fans in attendance at lower ticket profit, than alot more visitor fans at slightly higher profit.

I mean, it would really piss me off That I just spent 6 billion dollars on the finest venue on earth, to have my team play a conference championship game having to use a silent count due to the high attendance of obnoxious niner fans. Fuck that. It's my 6 billion, my team, if you want to whine about my ticket policy for opponents fans, go fuck yourself

I cannot disagree with that statement. $1000 for a couple of Okay seats in the regular season is just bananas. I too agree if they were more affordable more people would show up.

I thought I read that ban was changed already?

Yeah, OldSchool posted this tweet earlier in the thread.

If it was up to me, my policy would be this; if you have season tickets you can only sell them to people in the LA area.

I would lower the price for a portion of the tickets to LA residents, and donate at least 10k tickets to local charities, schools, and health care workers.

Yeah, it will probably cost you 10 to 20 million for the game but you're getting so much more in return, and for one of the richest owners in sports, it's a great investment/tax expense

The problem is that a lot of well healed season ticket holders (I refuse to refer to these soulless sonsabitches as "fans") gobbled up all of the extra tickets so that none went on sale to the general public (so no worries about SF fans buying THOSE all up) only to flip them. Just look at SeatGeek, TicketMaster and other sites... looks like half of the fucking stadium is up for resale...

I don't think geographic restrictions are great because fans who no longer live near them can't go.

That said, I blame the season ticket holder POSes who think it's appropriate for the first NFCCG in the new building to be filled with Red for a few grand. That place should be so blue, it brings Patsy Cline back to life!!!

These "flippers" are the same assholes who park in handicap spots who aren't handicapped, leave penny tips for a server for their party of 15 and think it's funny to take all of the Halloween Candy from someone's bucket with a "Please take one" sign on it.

These are NOT good people.

They're worse than the Dutch!!!

Yeah, if I had to sell my tickets because, for instance, it was the same day as my emergency heart surgery, or because my inconsiderate kids scheduled their wedding that day, I would make sure, through a brief ram trivia test, that I was selling to fellow ram fans.

So I assume all you folks dissing on the LA fans will be there in attendance on Sunday?

If the crowd has more whiner fans than Rams fans for the nfc championship game the Rams will be the laughing stock of the league.

Watching the game at my sister's house who is a die hard Niner's fan,should be fun either way, I was 9 years old last time this happened NFCC, we got a FG!!! From Langsford.

I have enough in savings to go to the game but would only with my father, at birth I was born a Rams fan,4 years ago he lost it when the players kneeled. He's missed so much recent Rams team success (overall we've been pretty badass), I would never get a solo ticket to go alone, even a massive ROD formation at tailgate and or the game. End of RAMble.

I'm happy beyond words earned it once again to the NFCC and at Our House. A WIN would be indescribable.

I can only speak for myself, but I'm in no way dissing Rams fans.

I'm dissing those POS who specifically bought up the extra tix made available to season ticket holders ONLY to have them flip them.

Bunch of assholes on twitter (nuff said... he says unironically while being on twitter)... who are BRAGGING about it.

And if you look at the ticket maps for the 2nd party resell sites... it seems like half of the damn stadium is up for sale.

I don't care if people sell, just don't use it as a money making opportunity (an arbitrage for the econ/finance folks). There are multiple venues for selling to other Rams fans.

And even if one were to take a profit... one can STILL do that and make sure a Rams fan is taking one's place.

Thing is... that those selling, at least those who are being vocal about it, are BRAGGING about how much they don't care who fills the seats because "hey, 2 grand is 2 grand".

Really? Can you recreate this moment next year for 2 grand? No? Hmmm

I just have tremendous disdain for these assholes is all. They're not fans... not even fair-weather. These assholes are the types that will brag about going to the Super Bowl even though they don't even like football. It's like a status symbol which they will gladly give up for a price.

It's like we're just not allowed to have nice things because there's always some person looking to profit from it.

Personally, I can't travel, but if I could and didn't have to mess with COVID (personally immunocompromised and my baby granddaughters live with us), you're damn right I'd try to figure out how to get there. There are TONS of working class people who'd drop everything including a family wedding to be there if it didn't cost what it will cost to go.

I know LA isn't Green Bay, but there are places where they would NEVER sell out like this. I get some tix... no prob, but at this rate, the damn stadium is gonna be awash in red.

We still gonna kick their ass, but it'll be with a silent count and that sucks balls.

For me, I'm dissing on the rams fans who could be there but elect to sell their tickets to non ram rams.

If I could be there, just found out today that I have covid for the 2nd time but also live in montana and don't have season tickets, I would burn my tickets before selling g them to niner fans. Ok, I'd actually give them to a homeless person instead.

[Ram Ts]

Really disappointing- but that’s LA/socal. Take the good with the bad I guess.

Get ready for it because it's going to happen. I put the fan split at 50/50 if we're lucky. I looked at pictures after the week 18 crowd noise and it had to be almost 50% niner fans. It was just unreal.

Having to use a silent count at home on offense is insane. You know when your home stadium isn't even a home stadium it has to have a psychological effect on the players. I know multiple people coming down from the bay area spending thousands on the trip and tickets, etc. I just dont think the average ram fan can afford games in this stadium. To me it's not a matter of having "enough" LA fans. We had the Colosseum rocking in 2018 a year after coming back to LA.
