UNI making money off NDSU TAKEOVER ??

Re: UNI making money off NDSU TAKEOVER ??

I think it has more to do with it being Family Weekend... I mean, Family Weekend and Homecoming are usually the two biggest games as far as attendance, why not capitalize on it?

This is the correct answer.

NDSU coming and bringing their "thousands of fans" is not the reason.

You know how hostages eventually grow affection for their captor's? I feel a certain love for Lake's and I feel really guilty about it. I kinda wanna have a couple beers with him.

Does anyone think that this could create a true secondary market for tickets to the $40 games. In the past there just hasn't been a ton of selling off unused tickets. Why go through the hastle when, for $20-25 you could buy one straight from UNI? At $40 I could see tickets being resold when they aren't being used.

Thoughts?

This will almost certainly hurt attendance, especially for parents weekend, but the extra revenue might be worth it.

There are many activities available on parents weekend and dropping $80-$120 on a football game might be pushing the limits of a many family budgets.

I'd be much more optimistic if the price was $30 instead of $40.

If the goal was to make money of off NDSU fans, we would have simply made that game a stand-alone event instead of designating it family weekend. People are going to come out to family weekend and homecoming regardless.

don't give our athletic department that much credit. no way in hell do they think about that crap. if they did (and they should), homecoming would be against a non scholly school from des moines, family weekend would be against a team no one had ever heard of, and then yes, the other marquee (if you can call it that) would be just any old weekend games.

I have season tickets so I really don't care what they charge for single game tickets.

Those two home dates sell well no matter what.

Definitely worth a try... Like the idea!

If that truly was a concern, the department could conceivably offer current UNI students the opportunity to purchase X number of tickets at a reduced price (perhaps $30, with a limit of four per student, while supplies last).

Yes, you might have some students buying extras and selling them to the general public, but I don't know how prevalent that would be.

Of course, that would mean yet another complication for the ticket system, which already struggles at times as it is.

Clarify this lakes, you live in Minnesota and considering the oil money is out west you have ZERO oil money

Nothing wrong IMO for charging a little more for games but I would think Family weekend would be a deal not and increase or am I missing something

Family weekend and homecoming traditionally sell out/come close no matter who we play.

There was a year we played ISUr and they finished with 0 or 1 win that year and there was 15-16K in the dome simply because it was homecoming.
