They don't have the equipment to pull this off
Season tickets were mailed two weeks ago and most people received their tickets two fridays ago. Being that i moved and had my mail forwarded i was giving the post office ample time to forward my mail to me. I felt as though 1 week should have been sufficient, seeing as everything else comes to me only a few days late. As of today, I still have no tickets. The post office can't do anything unless i have a tracking number, and the last time i checked, they dont issue tracking numbers for regular mail. So i called clemson and they put out a tracer on my tickets. Basically its a post office form mailed to me assuming it takes the same route as my other mail so anyone in the process can read the tracer and know to be on the lookout for a package from Clemson University to my old address. Problem is, the nice (translation: stupid) girl in the office sent the tracer to my current address, therefore bypassing the forwarding system that my tickets got lost in. I receive letters from Time Warner Cable, BellSouth, and all kinds of other junk mail from car insurance agencies,etc. that all successfully make it through the forwarding process. The one piece of mail that i actually want and paid a lot of money for cannot be found. Even if they had been sent to my old address, the lady that delivers our mail would have recognized my name on the envelope and placed it in the correct box (its not like i moved across town, just across the complex). Now I am being mailed a sheet of paper saying that my tickets were lost and i must use that as my entry to the game. Then the ticket office will reprint my tickets for the rest of the season. I just hope i dont see a Charlotte post office worker sitting in my seat anytime this season, I will lose it.
