No Tweeting allowed
The Southeastern Conference’s (American college sports organisation) ticket policy was basically a ban against communicating to anyone outside the game. No game updates, no photos and no video were allowed to be posted to the Internet while at a game. The SEC wanted to be the sole Tweeter.
Of course, this is absurd. It’s unenforceable, and everyone will hate you. Plenty of concerts and sporting events do not allow cameras, but to really prevent all visual content that would mean not allowing mobiles, but everyone will hate you.
Naturally, everyone hated SEC. They hated it all over the Internet, which results in a worse problem for the organisation than they started with.
They noticed and have responded with a revised ticket policy, which allows you to Tweet and take photos now. No video seems like a reasonable request, but they’ll have a fun time enforcing it.
