Ticket question

[Panthers to the Bone]

Re: Ticket question

2 Questions:

1.) So, should parents be allowed to sit in the student section (since the 'old GA' is now all student section)?

2.) If you are a student, and in b/t the 20's are students only, would you be happy with sitting with your family on the 10 yard line, or sitting with your student section and your parents having better seats?

Re: Ticket question

I'm in the same spot as ubu here. They ended up getting tickets in L I believe. I'm just going to get my free ticket, and sit away from them for the game. There aren't any tickets left for the Family Weekend game anyway. The only section that has more than about 15 tickets left is K, right next to the garage door. AND the family weekend flyer just got to my parents house a couple days ago. Luckily I was home this week to help get it taken care of. I wanted to just get them GA seats, and they were fine with dealing with the students, but I couldn't do that.

I don't know what they are goign to do, but I think there will be a lot of angry people in the coming weeks. But at least my parents have tickets.

Re: Ticket question

You all should just quit whining about the ticket situation. Selling out the dome is more important than where your seats are. It's not all about you.

Isn't that what those of us who live out of town were told about the game moved to Thursday night? Something like that anyway.

No Gonzo, it IS all about you! That's why they moved the game to ESPNU so that you all in Johnston could watch the game in the friendly confines of your home! We're very fan friendly...we cater to you!

Think about all that gas you saved...and the tickets you can resell!

Re: Ticket question

That is asanine. If they are going to start policies like that, it is time to end "free" student tickets and make students purchase a FULL SEASON TICKET PACKAGE at a reduced price. That way the students at least know their section in advance.

No offense, but I believe that would be a step back in time and a very bad idea for the athletic department. The Panther Pass took hours and hours of meetings to develop and bing all involved parties to an agreeable solution. If that were to happen it would cost the athletic department 1000s of dollars in student activity fee which is dedicated to the Panther Pass.

It would be a very unpopular thing to do and bring bad blood between a large number of students and the AD.

Just my 2 cents....

That is awesome! A near sell out prior to the first kickoff. Has that ever happened before? This news just excites me even more!!!!

Family weekend is always popular. The student tickets have not been claimed though and is anyone sure exactly how many tickets they left for students, and with the "you have to claim the ticket a week in advance", I'm guessing many students neglect to do so and may get left outside. On the contrary, IF they sell 10,000 tickets in advance, and 8,000 students show up a week before kickoff, you will have some ultra-pissed off students. (Nowhere near this many students will ever show up to claim a ticket in advance...but it could happen...)

That's true anyway, even without this issue.

How do other schools handle "family weekends?"

Was trying to figure out how ISU deals with that, and just noticed that they require a $5000 donation to their athletic club for 50-yd-line season tickets. wow.

I agree that that is pretty rediculous. But at the same time, you can't blame them. Afterall, that stadium has been pretty full the last couple of years, so they are doing something right.

when i was looking for my parents, who tell me that I have to include they don't meet senior requirements yet (they don't want to feel old), the only seats left were section K, and the top 3 or 4 rows in each section. I have a feeling this will be a sell out.
