Re: Barta sez decision on in-state basketball games could come soon

except that this probably means that they expect to sell out the allotment

Isn't UNI's allotment approx. 4,000 tickets? If they sell that out to season ticket holders I'll be quite surprised.

When the crowd ends up being 85% hawkeye I don't want to hear about the lack of support from Dsm area fans.

Now I guess I will check with Drake.

I'm going to assume if Iowa, UNI, and the IEC aren't selling them Drake and ISU aren't either.....

Okay, Drake has tickets for sale. However they are only selling tickets as lower level ($70) or upper level ($25-50). They can't tell you what seat you are buying. If you get $70 seats they could be anywhere from section 104 to 110. Except I can guarantee you they will not be in 104-106.

$70 for crappy behind the basket seats sitting with drake and/or hawkeye fans or enjoy the game from the comfort of my easy chair with 10 times better view for free? Hmmm....

Actually, UNI has a tendency to give their season ticket holders way too long. For the NDSU game we bought tickets the first week of the season. There were better seats available for sale on game day because they held tickets hoping for more season ticket holders. I wouldn't be surprised if they are hoping to rope people into buying season tickets by making them unavailable for a while.

I agree completely....it drove/drives me nuts how long they give season ticket holders to renew/claim tickets.

Deadlines don't mean **** at UNI.

might have to get your tickets in advance. (I don't know one way or the other, but it's something you might want to look into ahead of time)

I might have to find a couple students currently enrolled and have them get me a couple of tickets.

Hopefully there is enough of a student population there to make a difference. I'd love to see that happen.

The game is the 15th. Which....is graduation day and the end of finals Well ****. So much for that. I'm sure Iowa State students are equally pleased with this decision.

This is what the UNI release said, regarding student tix--http://www.unipanthers.com/ViewArtic...CLID=205703641:

NOTE: UNI will provide 150 free student tickets ... the free tickets will be given to the top 150 students based on their standing in the Panther Pride program ... the 150 students will be selected prior to the Thanksgiving break.

It insures that UNI isn't giving any tickets to a student that would root for Iowa during the game.

Re: Barta sez decision on in-state basketball games could come soon

Cool that they're giving away tickets, but what is the Panther pride Program? Is that new?

Also, this is a funny sentence:

UNI and Iowa both were extended at-large invitations to the National Invitation Tournament
