Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

Those guys could honestly just shut down the ticket booths at this point; they’ve been acting like this for a couple of seasons now.
It really feels like you have to get your tickets sorted way ahead of time if you want to actually make it in...

Dr. Dre was a total legend—just a regular guy standing his ground against the big shots and the system. There wasn't a corrupt bone in his body, just a massive heart and a drive to defy the powerful while looking out for the little guy.
In countless moments, especially within the stands, he proved how fearless and selfless he really was. Everyone saw him take on the likes of Donald Trump and Warren Buffett without blinking an eye.
The Black Knights owe it to him to give him a proper send-off.

Rest easy, my friend. See you on the other side.

It’ll probably be the same old story where a couple of ticket windows are open, they'll harass you at the entrance, and you won't even see the stands until the second half starts, and by then, the gates will be shut tight.

That's why everyone needs to be in Chicago early in the morning.

Is it okay if the guy picking up the card has his own ID, but just uses copies of everyone else's?

And honestly, you really need to start heading in way earlier, not just twenty minutes before kickoff.

Forget about grabbing beers beforehand. During the Lakers-Warriors game, there were twenty people passed out just because they had a couple of light drinks.🙄

Honestly, I am completely lost when it comes to all these vouchers, IDs, tickets, and seating sections...

Can you actually walk up to the gate with an ID from somewhere outside of Chicago—or even just a photo of one—and buy a ticket for the North or East stands???

Just give the Yankees a call and ask them directly...

Kevin Brown said:Honestly, I’m completely lost when it comes to this whole mess of vouchers, personal passes, tickets, and seating arrangements. It’s all becoming a bit much to untangle.

Is it actually possible to walk up to the ticket booth and buy passes for the North or East stands using a non-Chicago ID or even just a photocopy?

Could someone put together a brief set of bullet points for all the Yankees fans? I'm thinking we could frame them as quick guidelines that answer the most common questions, then post them on our official site, Facebook, and send them out to various news outlets. We could even pool some funds to get a feature in a major publication like the New York Times.

It seems most people are simply operating without the full picture.

P.S. I didn't mean to imply this was how things should be; I simply don't have all the facts yet, and I have no desire to spread misinformation.

So what’s the actual difference with these vouchers?!🤷 From where I’m sitting, the only distinction is that you aren't down South; everything else remains identical, as you're still handing over all your private data!

I honestly thought you guys would grasp the MCML concept by now..
Think about it. Is it the same when you go to the World Cup 2016 in France where you have to provide everything for a ticket just like with the vouchers? Was it the same during the World Cup 2006 where they required the same info as the vouchers? Of course not.

The difference between a voucher and these tickets with your name on them is that someone else can come in your place to buy the ticket and you can actually attend the game normally.
Who is actually afraid of having their name printed on a ticket? I don't give a damn what my name says on the ticket; I'm not worried about being "exposed" for going to a Yankees game.

With the vouchers, you have to register up to two days in advance, and then some council of "geniuses" at the top, acting like a bunch of zealots, decides whether or not they'll give you the ticket based on your past (non-)offenses. That is unconstitutional, and we need to resist it.

They don't have a legal basis for that. In this specific case, the law is on our side. It's up to us whether we let them walk all over us. If we act smart, we win. If we don't, everything goes dark.

The whole setup relies on specific regulations and internal guidelines—stuff that can be easily dismantled in a US court. What they’re pushing isn't even rooted in actual law; besides, there’s already a different way this is handled when it comes to hooligans at baseball games.

You buy a ticket at the window using your ID today, and by tomorrow you’re already blacklisted!

The BBB guys who weren't even on any lists before—after they all showed up for the away game at Central Park and everyone got logged... they'll find themselves on the blacklist by next week.

We need to tear this whole blacklist system down!...

So, tell me, is it the same deal when you head to the World Cup 2016 in France, where you have to hand over everything just for a ticket, just like with vouchers? Was it the same during the World Cup 2006 when everything had to be handed over like vouchers? Of course not.

The fundamental difference between a voucher and these tickets with your name printed on them is that with the latter, someone else can actually show up in your place to buy the ticket and you can attend the game normally.
And honestly, who is actually afraid of putting their name on a ticket? I couldn't care less what my name says on a piece of paper; why should I be worried about being "exposed" for being a Yankees fan?

With vouchers, you have to register at least two days in advance, and then some council of "wise men" sitting there with a bunch of religious zealots gets to decide whether or not they’ll grant you a ticket based on your past (non)criminal record. That is unconstitutional, plain and simple, and we need to resist it.

They don't even have a legal basis for this. In this specific instance, the law is on our side, and it is up to us to stand our ground and refuse to be humiliated. If we act smart, we win; if we don't, then everything falls apart.

The real difference here is that they are actively trying to screw us over. They saw that the voucher scheme failed, so now they're switching tactics, even though the goal remains exactly the same!

What happens in a few months when they realize everyone rejected the vouchers but accepted the personalized tickets? Then, the people working the ticket booths will have a massive list of names they aren't allowed to sell to, and we'll find ourselves right back where we started!
I'm not refusing to give my name because I'm scared they'll figure out I support the Yankees—they can already see that from my season subscription and whatnot. No, I'm refusing because I don't want to let some idiot trap me with their ridiculous "laws." I'll go to games in Chicago, sure, but I am absolutely not handing over my personal data just to buy a ticket!

Kevin Brown said:Honestly, I'm completely lost when it comes to all these vouchers, personal IDs, tickets, seating sections...

Can you actually walk up to the box office with a non-Chicago ID or just a photocopy and buy a ticket for the North or East stands???

Look, if you’re coming from somewhere like, say, Des Moines, or maybe Savannah or even Phoenix—why on earth wouldn't you be able to buy a ticket? It’s not like the girl at the window is going to interrogate you... she doesn't give a damn whether you're rooting for the Yankees or the Dodgers... people living right here in the local metro area might run into a few more hurdles, I suppose—but everyone else shouldn't have any issues whatsoever.

😕Just saw this... 🙂another mess involving the Rangers Supporters Club. 🙂Honestly, I can't even be surprised anymore. Just more chaos in the streets...

Christian Jones said:😕🙂🙂

They were knocking on doors at 7 in the morning.🙂🙂

Information: You can purchase tickets using a local address on your ID. Whether someone with such a card will actually be allowed entry remains to be seen. It wouldn't be a shock if Jerry Jones simply pockets the cash first, given this is his first real attempt at ticket sales, only to deny people access to the stadium later.
The IRS announced they will release conduct guidelines tomorrow, as there are indications that the police might intentionally try to provoke a riot.

Is there any truth to these reports about the arrests???
Just a convenient little crackdown right before the big rivalry game, I suppose...

So I grabbed the tickets—each one has a specific name on it. A buddy of mine picked up a ticket using his own ID, but for the second one, he just totally made up a random name
I'm not even putting my actual name on mine, not even under any other category

Now, the big question is... will they actually let someone in using a fake name on the ticket? Who knows, maybe, I guess

Thomas Castillo11 said:Man, I honestly thought you and feralwolf16 would get this...
So what, is it the same deal when you head to UEFA Euro 2016 in France where you have to cough up everything just to get a ticket, just like with these vouchers? Was it the same during World Cup 2006 when we had to hand over stuff just like the vouchers? Hell no.

The whole difference between a voucher and these tickets with your actual name printed on them is that someone else can just grab a ticket for you and you show up to the game like a normal person.
And seriously, who’s actually terrified of putting their name on a damn ticket? I don't give a flying rat's ass if my name is plastered on a ticket for a Dodgers game—like I'm worried they're gonna bust me for showing up.

With these vouchers, you have to register two days in advance, and then some council of "wise men" at the top—basically a bunch of self-righteous holy rollers—decide whether or not they’ll let you in based on whether you’ve committed any minor infractions in the past. It’s unconstitutional, and we should be fighting it tooth and nail.

They don't even have the legal standing to pull this crap, and in this specific instance, the law is on our side. It's up to us whether we let them walk all over us. If we play it smart, we win; if we don't, then screw it all.

And what about those people who end up on the blacklist at the gates?? You really think they won't just expand that list for the next big game if we hand over our data now??...Eventually, we'll hit a point where they use these vouchers to ban anyone they feel like banning from the stadium after just one round, or maybe they'll drag it out over several rounds—honestly, I couldn't care less... I just want people to stop whining about "struggles," "resistance," and "ideals" only to happily swallow some differently packaged bullshit at the end. If nothing else is right, why lead the people who stood by us (with just eight vouchers) into a battle that we already signed a surrender for before it even started?...

P.S. I don't know, maybe you don't know me that well since we only met yesterday, so you don't know my take on the big World Cups or the Euros... you should know my stomach turns at these grand ideals used by people who regularly snag tickets through the league association... aside from the association itself, this whole thing made the national team disgusting to me a long time ago, and none of it exists in my life anymore.... but fine, if this is the next step in the league, whatever... talk and think about how you're "fighting," but just let regular people take their vouchers and enjoy the game...
