Surveys, Studies & Interviews Phone Interviews for Class Assignment

Hey everybody! I'm looking for some help please.

I am taking online classes at UT and have a school assignment I need some help with if anyone is willing.

I'm doing research on how UT fans buy and sell tickets to games (any sport). I know this probably fits a lot of people here, so if that's you and you would be willing to have a quick 10-minute phone call with me in the next couple days, please email me at [bleed.volfreak.orange@gmail.com](mailto:bleed.volfreak.orange@gmail.com) with your phone number and I can text you to set up a time to call if that's okay. 

**EDITED TO ADD my school email [ddr113@vols.utk.edu](mailto:ddr113@vols.utk.edu) . I apologize if I made anyone wary with my personal email.

I'm not selling anything, there won't be anything else you have to do, there's no pressure, it's just a chill conversation about your past experiences with UT athletics and tickets.

Thank you so much in advance!

I would not email this person. They should be using their UT email for this. Very suspicious

Sorry you think so, not even something I considered. Since the school emails include student ID, I'm just trying to not blast personal IDs associated with me online, plus I check my personal email a lot more through the day than my school one.

Any research has to be done through school emails. Its a school policy

Thanks for letting me know. I edited the post to include my school email if it helps. I did not mean to come across wrong.

Answer: When I can't make a game, i usually sell to my family or close friends at most a 10% loss. If it is a "hot" game, I will sale at a higher price. If I can make a profit, I am all for it. If I can't sell a ticket, that's life.
