Ticket office Mess

Re: Ticket office Mess

WHY are they waiting to release reserved STUDENT tickets? I walked all the way over to the Dome and the girl at the counter told me that they wouldn't be handed out until Thursday. Nowhere in this email from the Sports Marketing Department does it say that!

ROUND 2 IS THIS SATURDAY AT 1:00 PM IN THE DOME

Welcome back to campus after Thanksgiving break, and the road to Chattanooga continues for Panther football after an unbelievable game on Saturday. The Panthers will play the Bluehens of Delaware on Saturday at 1:00 PM, and the athletic department has decided to reserve a large number of seats in the general admission area on the east side of the UNI-Dome for UNI students. Beginning tomorrow (Mon., Nov. 26) at 8:30 AM students will have the opportunity to purchase an $8.00 ticket. The reserved seating for students will only be held until 5:00 PM on Tues., Nov. 27. Students can buy a ticket at the UNI-Dome and GBPAC ticket offices, they are open from 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM daily.

Beginning on Wed., Nov. 28 at 8:30 AM, if tickets remain available in the reserved student section they will be sold to the general public. Students will have the opportunity to buy an $8.00 ticket at this time, but it may not be in the student section.

Lets fill the Dome again, and get as many UNI students in the Dome as is possible. It is a great time to be a Panther!

Go Panthers!

I reserved tickets for all three rounds BEFORE the last game and I can't pick them up?

Re: Ticket office Mess

So far the ticket office has done everything they said they would since I first reserved tickets 3 weeks ago. I have no complaints.

And my seats were inside the 40, row 20, not too shabby at all.

That appears to be the only contingency the planned for. They promote things that do not exist or do not happen in reality. They were pimping "TICKETS GO ON SALE MONDAY AT 8:30" which is, of course, bogus--not to mention the student ticket mess.

The entire UNITIX system just HAS to be run by theater/performing arts people because when it comes to athletic events, they are completely and utterly lost.

It's just irritating to go all that way for nothing.

Re: Ticket office Mess

Let me guess; you never step on cracks in the sidewalk, do you?

Update: The lady I talked to said she had no record of my order, she said it still may be on paper at the UNIDome, she didn't understand how I could have been given seat numbers (which I was) at that time. She tried to get somebody at the dome to help me but nobody answered. I was sent into a voice mail box where I pled my case and now I wait for a phone call I guess.

This entire thing is just crazy in an era of computers and the internet I am left hanging in the hopes my form is in a stack of paper at the UNIDome.

What's funny is that last week when tickets were on sale my friend's wife was in line. They told her they had 1500 ticket requests they hadn't yet gone through yet were selling from the window, anyway. Ridiculous.

Re: Ticket office Mess

This sort of thing has gone on way too long!

GBPAC. They couldn't give me my premium reserved seats (season ticket seats that have literally been in my family for generations...), but they printed me off the gf's GA student ticket...

Re: Ticket office Mess

So, UNI is reserving tickets for the students first? The horror!!! It's the right thing to do so that they can have their traditional seats from 30-30 in the lower section near the field. Students...don't whine and complain if you don't take the time to get over and reserve a ticket between now and 5:00 PM tomorrow. Find the time and get your seat.

The rest of us...what a great problem to have in late November! We have a demand for tickets in Cedar Falls FINALLY and we're complaining about it. Hopefully this demand will go into the future. Maybe some of you who aren't Season Ticket Holders should consider it for next season and then when play-off tickets go on sale...you'll be the first to be able to get your hands on them. Just a suggestion and I know Season Tickets aren't for everyone...but when we can't use ours...we know someone who will and then hopefully we help create a new fan.

The problem isn't what you posted. The problem is that there are people ready willing AND able to purchase tickets who are feeling like they are going through a gauntlet to get a freaking ticket. This isn't isolated to playoffs either; our ticket department is a J O K E. Period.

I seriously doubt big time programs answer the phone, take your name, number, issue you seat numbers and tell you to call back if they win and only then give them your credit card information. When you do call back they tell you your name isn't seen tied to any order and it might be on a stack of paper across campus. Then they shove you into the voice mail system where you plead your case and hope they pull their head out of the butt long enough to call you back.

This isn't about a demand for tickets, this is about screwing up ticket orders once you get the chance to buy tickets. Nobody today running a stadium should be writing crap down and then entering it later period.

I reserved my ticket two weeks ago! They just won't let me pick the damn thing up!

I might try GBPAC after class today...
