Anybody else have their playoff tickets yet?

[95UNIGRAD]

Got mine today - west side, front row about 10 ft. north of the 50 yd. line. Let's finish this thing Saturday, Panthers so we can sew up that home game!

Re: Anybody else have their playoff tickets yet?

they are issuing tickets when they don't even know if they will be hosting for sure?

I can understand setting up the system for reserving seats, but I've never heard of them actually issuing tickets prior to the bracket being announced.

I'm also confused, Jay.

Counterfeit

We released (gave up) two of our normal block of tickets on the 50 yd. line, row 2, for the playoffs. But I didn't think anyone was charged for a purchase until we knew that we were hosting a game, and for which round. Why would there be any tickets printed/in hand before one paid for them?

I hope to be asking that question soon about the Championship game... but maybe that's wishful thinking.. Let's beat WIU first.

Um....you have them in hand? Where did you get those at?

We released our season tickets for better seats.

He never said he had them in hand, so we should probably assume he meant ordered.

Re: Anybody else have their playoff tickets yet?

found it rather odd how they had the order form set up.
especially the part where they have a line item of $20 for the service/handling/whatever charge.

I assume (and the guy working the ticket window confirmed) that it is in fact $5/charge per round (since each round has to be processed as a seperate transaction). But listing it as a straight-up $20 just looks odd.

Not to mention that it is impossible for any team to host all 4 rounds (if you're hosting a first round game and win, then your second round game will be at one of the top 4 seeds)

Good point.

Yep, you're correct. I should have been more clear in my thread title to avoid all the confusion. I'm a season-ticket holder, so I got an e-mail offering the chance to reserve them before they got passed along to everyone else. I got them using a code from the e-mail on the unipanthers.com website. Can't wait - hopefully they'll take care of business on Saturday, and I'll be enjoying those seats on December 4th. If not, I would guess they wouldn't charge you until they know for sure on Sunday.

Just as soon as they don't plan, something weird happens and we jump all over them. I thought the process was fine. The fee is for each 'event' and each 'event' would be each game. I have no problems with reserving all four and as they stated many times in the info, no charge will be made unless we host that round. Too easy.

Exactly. Thus I would suggest placing a line item for each game with the $5 charge for that round, as opposed to one line item at the bottom for $20.

Is it a big deal? not at all.
but then, neither is black pants or red chairbacks.

Re: Anybody else have their playoff tickets yet?

When I ordered online it showed as $5 for each individual game as I reserved, then totalled them up to $20 at the end when I checked out.
