Want to know if you guys think I have a right to be upset about this.
Was thinking of taking my 8 yr old son to a minor league (Tincaps) baseball game Friday night. Wanted good seats that my tiny 8 year old (smallest kid in his grade of over 100 kids at school) would be able to see without having to peer around adults.
Found three seats first row just off center behind home plate. Perfect. Tried to buy two of them, but they wouldn't release the seats to me because "it would result in one single seat remaining available".
Emailed their direct of ticketing, and asked why these tickets are not available for me to purchase. His response was that their ticketing system/software does not let people buy seats where single tickets would remain, because singles are difficult to sell. (Mind you there were a bunch of single seats available in the 5 sections that I looked at)
I responded asking if there would be a time frame where those would be able to be bought as 2, like day of game or something.
His response was "those tickets are not going to be available then. It's a Friday night with fireworks after the game, all the seats in those sections will sell out prior to the game. The only way you could buy two is if someone bought one of them as a single."
I don't get how a business would seemingly nonchalantly turn down a potential customer who was ready to buy two tickets that were available, just because they anticipated being able to sell all three.
Would this make you guys a bit upset/befuddled?
