Turned away at the colts game because my 5 month old had no ticket

[jrainw]

Got tickets to today's game for my wife and I, got turned away at the gate because we didn't have a ticket for 12# 5 month old Violet. For just $114 I could have bought a ticket for her.
So irritated I'm not thinking real well. It's probably a published policy and I should have known but really? I can fly with her without a ticket but not go to an NFL game?

Mr. Ersay needs the money.

Free Colts tickets are highly overpriced.

I'm surprised you can still do that with an airline ticket. I figured they'd count that the same as carry-on luggage at least.

WOW! Disney World doesn't charge an entrance fee for kids under 3 YEARS! Makes me feel even better about my decision (ever since the Hank Jr bull****) to totally ignore the NFL. **** them.

Learn from it.......never EVER spend another dime on anything related to the NFL.

Send wife home with child sell extra ticket for beer money

 

[MCgrease08]

That's pretty ridiculous. I don't think I've ever bought my 2 year old a ticket for anything. Sporting event, movies, etc. The fact that Colts think a 5 month old would require her own seat is ludicrous. Is this the official policy?

Was your daughter mad she had to wait outside while you and your woman watched the game?

But seriously, what did you do with the tickets?

My temper got the best of me and I threw them at the ticket window, my wife picked them up and sold them. We both wish we had given them to the couple behind us that drove from Cleveland with an infant but my irritation with the No Family League kept me from thinking clearly.

Hey, now! Of the two of us I happen to be more of a football fan than jrainw is!

 

[Krainw]

At least I used to be....

Did they have a ticket for their kid?

I'd follow up with someone at Guest Services next week and let them know about your experience. You'd think this scenario would happen pretty frequently with families, so it seems heartless to enforce with an infant.

If this is official team or NFL policy then they need to get called out. If you don't get anywhere with Guest Services then call the local news channels. They might be interested in hearing the story.

What is the average db level of a Colts game?

 

[stephen87]

Let's get to the serious stuff here.


Your 5 month old ways 12lbs?! My 4 month old weight 20lbs, I'm jealous. He's a pain to carry around weighing 25lbs with the car seat. lol

 

[Moparracer89]

I wouldnt bring a 5 month old to a game to begin with...

I'm sure the OP is anxiously awaiting your parenting advice...

[mtinner]

A five month old at an NFL game? I would have probably tried to get a babysitter, but that's just me.

While I don't solicite parenting advice, nor will I give it. I will state that there is no way in hell I would ever take a child that young to a colts game.
