Thanks for being motivated enough to respond.

If you had been a little more clever you could have complained that industry "insiders" like the 4 farms that signed on will most likely get more of the premium seating as a result of this deal leaving fewer good options for actual fans.

I didn't realize I was trying to be clever.

As for being anti, I'm pretty much anti everything that is pointless when it comes to this area. Do they really expect people to be wowed by this?

Have you gotten so used to the posturing these people do that this announcement doesn't look lame in comparison to some of their other moves?

They've done so many stupid gimmicks over the last five years or so it's just gotten old. Win and you're in, catering to celebrities, stupid new races that detract from the overall experience, post parade advertisements, the new contest they've announced for this year, etc.

It's all a bunch of nothing.
