So when are season tickets coming?

[95UNIGRAD]

It's only 2 weeks until the ISU game, and not a sign of them so far. It seems like I had them in hand at this time last year. Am I just remembering it wrong?

Also, does anyone know when we find out if we got tickets from the allotment for the game in Ames? I put in for them about a week ago.

Thanks!

FWIW it's still 5 weeks from the first home game. It'd be nice to have them by now, but I won't be upset until I don't have them by kick off Sept 24

the deadline for "priority selection" by PSC members/season-tix-purchasers/etc. is Monday 8/22. So the ticket office probably won't divulge any info until they start processing that. Probably will hear from them later next week (or the week after).

After all, we wouldn't want people to be able to make definitely plans more than a week prior to the game or anything.

... or be able to start finding decently priced tickets on ebay/stubhub 2 at a time.

No kidding. I don't mind the season ticket thing much, considering the 1st home game's not until a month from now, but it's annoying to not even know if I have a ticket to the ISU game yet when it's two weeks from today. Is it really that hard to do things in a timely manner so your customers can plan out their hard-earned weekends more than a few days in advance?

I don't disagree on the ISU game.

It'd be nice if they PSC could determine who gets what tickets in a faster manner.

I agree. At some point the PSC is going to have to be able to set hard deadlines for ordering tickets and the members (especially the "big" donors) are going to have to meet the deadline or understand that they missed the boat.

100% agree, and it would solve about 99% of the problems when it comes to getting tickets in a better time, it would solve a lot of the problems with "well I was told I could get an upgrade, then I couldn't", or "the ticket office knows nothing, and sucks", etc...

There will still be problems with the ticket office employees not knowing who is getting tickets and when they will be sent (as believe it or not the ticket office employees you talk with have zero control over anything except taking your order and putting it in the system).

The reason there is the fiascoes we have is because the "deadline" for season ticket renewals, tournament orders, or anything like that isn't a freaking deadline. It isn't enforced at all. That means the PSC and athletic department are sitting on tickets for weeks (sometimes months when it comes to season tickets) that could be given to someone else, which would open up tons of other moves, and so on, and get the process done munch much earlier.


But, that won't happen because the athletic department needs money and the last people they want to piss off is the big time donors...the standard donor and ticket buyer gets the shaft, which is unfortunate because they are the people who set the public opinion of places like the ticket office.

Revenue sets the standard. It has been a standard for years that the deadline on the ticket application floats. But lets be realistic.....those guys in the middle have to pay to stay in the seats. If they take a little longer I think that is part of this first time process. UNI83 you may want to move your seats but you might have to watch my bald head one more season!

This year isn't the first year the deadline hasn't as set as you want to believe. This has nothing to do with the new system, especially when it was stated something like 95-98% of the ticket holders would not be affected.

There is a reason this same complaint comes up every year, and it isn't the fault of the college kids putting up with the *****ing over the phone or in person.

Also, if that really was you in the front row you may be one of the worst Panther fans around for booing the starting quarterback on every play, then standing up and cheering when he was injured after a 50 yard run.

That was me and I can guarantee that I have never cheered for a player when they were hurt. I cheered because I thought that at that point in the season Zach was our best choice. I cheered because Zach was coming in. I now stand corrected. I am also offended that you call me the worst fan. I guarantee there isn't a bigger Panther fan than me. Send Jovan Belcher a message on facebook and ask if he remembers the bald buy at UNI. He will. So come down and see me on the 24th. That might be the start of when you stop *****ing about everything. BTW I have been in those seats for 20 years. You could contact many coaches and players they will all remember the bald guy.

Ah...you weren't cheering Rennie got hurt, you were cheering because you no longer had to boo every play. Gotcha.

Just got word from the PSC - UNI did not go over the ISU visitor ticket number so everyone that ordered them will receive tickets. They will be mailed Wednesday and Thursday.
