Not arguing about this anymore! It's pointless! I had no issue with anything, except the alcohol line. There were several cash bars throughout the event, but I admit the tenders were a bit slow. Other than that, everything was fine for us! As far as the food, I didn't eat until roughly 6pm and I had a full plate. Eat earlier next time because food was prepared for the prepaid tickets, which was over 4000. Those that didn't prepay didn't get a meal ticket.

Are you kidding me? You guys charged $75 for people who didn't pre-pay to afford them the opportunity to stand in line and pay for $7 beers and watch other people eat bad food? I'm sure they were happy with that situation.

You're literally being told that the event you charged $50 for, essentially, a plate of food and some air conditioning was not worth the money to attend and you sit here criticizing the people who paid hard-earned money to go to your event for telling you how it is? Did it ever occur to you that you're viewing this through someone associated with the Alumni party?

My uncle and about 7 of his friends went to your little function, even after I informed them it wasn't worth the $50. They all came back and said they wished they would have stayed in Rice Village and drank.

Here's a novel idea; next time, limit your tickets to those who pre-order. That way you can control the amount of food being served (don't tell someone that they should have are earlier, if they paid money they have a right to arrive as late as they want and still be able to partake in whatever their money bought them), you can anticipate lines for restrooms and bars, and you can decide if it's really worth it in the long run.

Also, if you have any control or are a in a leadership position with the alumni chapter, I'd say you need to re-evaluate the words you're saying because you're definitely alienating some posters on here that are vocal but probably making others question you who aren't posting. In fact, if I was in the chapter, I'd ask that you cut back on representing us for awhile.

But that's just me.

I did not attend and have no dog in this fight, but you are really doing the alumni association and yourself a disservice in this thread. If you can't handle peoples complaints you should not put events on. Consider listening instead of arguing with people who paid a decent amount to attend what was in many peoples minds a poorly run event.

WTF?

so you charge an extra $75 for the people that didn't prepay and they get less out of the deal?Thats the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of.

These guys are a bunch of miserable complainers. They are the same people who want to fire miles and always play the backup qb. They call our own players garbage and they aren't true fans. The tailgate from all accounts was professional clean and sanitary. The AC was blowing very cold and the band put on a outstanding show.

If anything you guys under charged for the experience.

So you sold over 4K tickets, had 6-7K in attendance by your own estimate and only had one line for food, one CASH bar and only 6-8 door workers. I have no idea who was planning this, but this was obviously the first time they've EVER put on a party close to this size. Sounds like it went horribly.
