I'm quite sure this is just for the FO's supply of tickets. I wonder if they're doing this to try to weed out as many scalpers as possible. https://oss.ticketmaster.com/aps/crew/EN/promotion/home
Yes scalpers but also to make sure that the people who buy them are not just casuals buying them from ticketbastard.
I clicked the link but didn't really get what's going on, it was wonky for me. At the Summit they said Nordecke season tix were sold out.
If the link doesn't work, go to www.columbuscrewsc.com and look basically in the middle of the page. Here's what the link says:
So they sold out like 80-90% of the seats to STH's and the remaining 10-20% will be done via lottery it sounds like?
Of their supply. Tickets belonging to supporters groups can be handled as how those SGs wish. I'm sure HSH will still have a plethora at their tailgates and likewise with CSU...although it certainly pays to be a season ticket holder through one of the groups, IMO.
So now that the Nordecke is "sold out" is this the reason another supporters section opened in 119 or just the hipster section of people that broke off from the Nordecke because there was not enough chants, flags, smoke bombs and ultra type activity? Reason I ask is because there still seems to be plenty of Nordecke tickets to be bought from the SG's.
Looks like later, on twitter. There's been a 'realist nordecke fan' movement and the Capital Side logo looks like Scornflakes work.
As long as there is singing and chanting, it's an awesome opportunity to spread more of this throughout the stadium.
My one concern is that it's hard enough to get everyone in the Nordecke in sync, now a second section is being added to it. Will this create competing sections? And at the Summit, it was said you can come in and out of the new section. If that's the case, I wonder how organized it will be. Just have to see how it works out I suppose. Personally, I'd rather just make the stage bleachers permanent, make it new Nordecke seating. It makes the stadium look so much better, in person and on TV. Also said at the Summit that the top half of 102 will be Nordecke this year (like the playoffs last year) and I think in 2017 all of 102 will be Nordecke. 103 maybe as well, but further down the road if it happens.
They are at opposite ends of the stadium. Having been in different areas of the stadium, many times the people can hear that the Nordecke is chanting, but not entirely sure what is being chanted. Having others in the other end of the stadium can/will help with that.
Yeah, I just went on their FB page, one of the photos says "Forza Columbia" :facepalm: I know Scornflakes has a massive (no pun intended) hard-on for Inter and all things Italian. It looks like Capital Side and 'Maszive City' have retweeted each other a lot. Someone asked if it was Justing (Scornflakes) and Capital Side would neither confirm nor deny. So you're probably right NUFC Fan.
It already does so might as well try something new. I personally don't know who they are nor what their style is but whatever it takes to spread the song is ok in my book.
Of course there was. It's the Nordecke. That said though, if a group wants to splinter off and try something new, awesome!
Capital Side is really close to Capo Side.... Can't wait to see someone trampolining on the awning leading the 'real supporters' section.
