I believe you are correct and the Athletic Department is even throwing in this bonus offer:

STUDENTS WHO GET IN FREE CAN STAY THE WHOLE GAME!!!

not sure many will take them up on the offer, but thought it was a nice gesture

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

Any idea if season tix holders will have the opportunity to purchase their same seats for playoff games?

I'm assuming so. That has historically been the practice. But haven't seen/heard anything yet.

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

Season ticket holders were sent play off info a couple weeks ago. They were supposed to reserve their tickets prior to last Thursday. If you have season tix, and haven't reserved them yet, I'd suggest you call the ticket office IMMEDIATELY!

IIRC, Farley (or the AD) offered to buy student tickets for the playoffs if 2000 or more attended the SUU game. They met the mark, thus they get in free. It was a promotion to get them to the game.... but did not require they stick around.

He speaks the truth.

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

This....
while if I was a student I'd be gungho for it, but it is promotions like this as to why our athletic department is not making money or breaking even. If students get in free, that is to say our own Ath. Dep. is paying for each student. Doesn't sound super smart to me. I get what they are doing, and hope it works, but buying your attendance #s...eh. I mean $10 or what a couple dollars around it....most college students CAN afford that. JMO.

Iowa and iowa state will not be playing that day I expect a big crowd. I would have charged the students for tickets. They are not that hardupn

Maybe the promotion should be: You buy your ticket but we will refund you as you leave at the end of the game!!

Although I wouldn't charge the students, I do wholeheartedly agree with your first point. There is ZERO reason not to completly pack the dome for this one.

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

$10 seems to me like a reasonable and fair price for a student ticket. Get 2,000 students there's $20,000 a game. (I know this is oversimplified)

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

I know for basketball coach Jake has paid for the students to get in free. Not sure if they cut him a break or if the athletic department is actually paying for them. Either way this game is a Saturday afternoon while classes are still going on so you would hope we could get a great attendance from them.

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

Promote, promote, promote! Every student needs to be talking about this game for the next week and a half. We need signs around campus advertising the game and building excitement. If you are a student and enjoy a great atmosphere, rally your fellow students to get there and be crazy!!

[PantherChic]

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

I agree that promoting this game is huge for attendance- both for students and the Cedar Valley. We need to see ads on TV, in the paper, and everyone needs to be talking about it!
