Post Malone/Jellyroll concert at Jack Trice

I guarantee that's a stupid accident by a bunch of people who had no clue that was a UofI shirt. No way he wanted to piss off the crowd he was performing in front of.
Yeah I doubt it was intentional, guessing he thought it was just a general shirt for the name of the state. He acknowledged it and took it off midway through. I'm not a huge Post Malone guy, but he was actually really good - lots of energy. Jelly Roll was meh, preachy which kind of killed the vibe.

FWIW the Combs concert was far better (and I am not really a fan of any of the music by the big names).

Sound was better (Post and JR had too much bass and it was hard to hear their voices and the lyrics).

Then Post came out in Hawkeye gear which went over like a wet fart in church - he finally took his shirt off midway through after his crew told him.

The concert was mostly full but not as many as George Strait and definitely not as much as Luke Combs.

For us it didn’t help that we were sitting in front of a group of self absorbed college girls that were spilling drinks and kept kicking our seats and dancing and hitting us.

TM had tickets at half the price of what they originally went on sale for right up until the concert started. Someone said that TM is getting bad for pricing and I can attest. Tried to sell a parking pass on TM, put my price down (under face). Go to look at the listing and TM decided to apply reference based pricing and sell my below face pass for $50 above face- WTF…… now I see why no one was interested.

I think it is fair to say they won’t be going to any more of their concerts.
This is what happens when you allow alcohol for the slobs in the stadium.
 
Sure, but it's not intentional so no need for excessive butthurt.
It may have not been intentional, but how does one or someone on his team not know Ames is Iowa STATE university. Post even went to Walmart in Ames the night before and did he not even pay attention to all the Cyclone gear around? Bad all around research from Post and his team.
 
I liked his hip hop stuff back in the day and seems like he's always been pretty down to earth all things considered. But you have to know what you're wearing.
Maybe he thought it was a generic state of Iowa shirt and figured there's no way a store in Ames would sell Hawkeye gear...stupidass Ames Hy-Vee and Walmart.

How did he acknowledge it? Did he admit to making a mistake?

Midway through he mentioned that he heard some chatter in his earpiece that he may be wearing the wrong shirt. Which lead to him asking the crowd ….wear it or take it off. The heat and the crowd made the decision easy and he took it off. He did, for a brief few minutes during all this, wear an ISU hat.

JR’s set felt like a Southern church revival. I get that his life was rough in ways that most of us couldn’t understand and he wants to spread a message that you can change the path you are on and the decisions you make to rise above it. Felt a little too much.

Wait, you set a price and then TM jacks it around? But you are left with 0 if it doesn't sell? That's not right, if they want to scalp tickets/parking passes. They should pay you the asking price then resell them.

To be fair he went to Walmart, probably the highest concentration of Iowa gear in Ames. ;)

Correct and it was an RV pass to boot. To put the pass at face they added their fees ~$50 and then applied their pricing which put it around $450 (~$80 above face). Knew I was going to take a loss on it - they over priced the RV lot for the last two concerts and it showed with maybe 50 spots sold.

Adjusted the price and they did it again. Got to be to get it into a reasonable price range it was more of a loss than what I was willing to take.

Figured out what they were doing and took my listing down and listed on StubHub (not that I am a fan of them either, but they let me sell it at the price I wanted).

It cracks me up all the Hawkeye fans on social media who are now trying to say "See this proves Iowa State isn't a national brand." I mean....your guy wasn't performing at Jack Trice and put on a Hawkeye shirt in the wrong stadium so it doesn't say much more about your team either! :p
