So I lucked into a couple of tickets for tomorrows game in a suite. Im worried that since these suites are mostly owned by companies that everyone there will know that i shouldn't be there. I am really exited to experince a game from a suite but am worried that my presence won't be well recieved by the regulars there. Any one here have suite tickets and has observed this? do the other people even care? is it awkward for both parties?

surely the people that gave you the tickets give them to others on occasion. nevertheless, just use proper manners and be nice to the folks. you might make some new friends.

How did you get the tickets? Can't you just explain to the other suite invitees how you obtained the tickets, and hence your connection to the company? People are generally friendly, so long as you are outgoing and decent.

I've found that the ambience in the suites varies from company to company. Some suites (e.g. Hogan Hardwoods) are full of roistering die-hards, while others (I'll omit the corporation names) are loaded with conservative dullards.

They won't care. Companies give tickets away all the time.

My dad and I once got tickets to a suite in the Super Dome for a Saints game. Everyone was very nice. Just introduce yourself, be on your best behaivor and enjoy your time up there.

Ah, I see. Well, f*ck it, just be friendly and outgoing. Don't hit on anyone's wife or traumatize anyone's kid and you should be just fine.

People in the suites love to talk about money. Your first question to anyone you meet should be "SSOOO, how much YOOOOUUUU knockin down a month".

Works like a charm.

If you have the tickets then you belong and why worry most will invite you in anyway.

Just get into the "George Costanza" mindset and you'll do fine

This is probably your only chance to live it up like the 1%. Party hard and don't look back. Be "that guy" and leave your memory burned in their minds.

Rockford's give you solide advice, son. YOU need to be the guy that causes the university to issue suggested protocol/dress codes for suite attendance....


Actually, broh, be yourself, and relax. Another poster made the comment about different suites having different atmosphere's, and he could not be more correct. Just follow the lead of everyone else.

If you find yourself in a suite where golfclaps are preferred, then golfclap.

If you find yourself in a suite where "TACKLE THAT MOTHERfrickER" is yelled at the tops of peoples lungs, then do that.

Enjoy it, and act like you belong.

Do the tickets have seat rows and numbers or are they SRO? If SRO, don't sit in any of the seats unless offered by someone...just a good way to approach this.
