I've got the requested tickets for the USD game at Frost arena. Per TV's blog reserved seats are sold out. If you requested a ticket it is sitting in a cupboard at my house. I'll get them out to those who requested after Christmas. Just too darn busy to get them to you sooner. So, if you need a last minute stocking stuffer make up a certificate that says the tickets are on there way.

Hopefullly, students see this and get there tickets. If I were still a student I would not be happy with this change at all. Luckily for me it does not matter either way..We...ARE...STATE!

Re: Tickets for USD game
It is not that big of deal. They just need to know how many students to exepect before the game so they know how many GA tickets they can sell. There is no charge for student tickets.Comment

Re: Tickets for USD game
The Students need to get over it. This situation requires handling student tickets as such. Being a former ticket manager I know the headaches of dealing with the "unknown" of student attendance and having people waiting in line the night of the game to find out if we are going to sell them a ticket...and then turning them away. NOT a good thing to do and does not make the athletic department look good.
I'd really, really like to know what the students aren't happy about. Is it that they have to be accountable ahead of time for securing a ticket AND that they have to show their ticket and ID for admittance?
Great move athletic department.I updated my signature for the first time in six years.Comment

Re: Tickets for USD game
I ordered 80 extra reserved tickets and distributed each and every one of them. I have had requests for more. The few tickets I obtained for USD fans were redirected towards SDSU fans as prior commitments prevented the USD fans from attending. I think its going to be a nice crowd.Originally posted by jackmd View PostWe are here to add what we can to life, not get what we can from life. -Sir William Osler

Re: Tickets for USD game
It's pretty simple really. You either get a ticket ahead of time (for free) or you take your chances getting in line soon enough the day of the game and hope you get in.
I'd be all for getting my ticket early and students should be thankful this is the protocol.Comment

Re: Tickets for USD game
There is going to be a line for GA seats. I bet it starts around 4 pm. I wonder where it will be? With the new entrances there might be two lines. I'm glad I've got reserved seats.

Re: Tickets for USD game
Seating capacity is considerably less at Frost than it was 5 years ago. Student population is up. Student attendance at most games is down as compared to 5 years ago. The athletic department needs a strong season ticket base as a guarantee of income generated by basketball. Allowing students open access to the games of their choice doesn't fit with these facts.

Re: Tickets for USD game
I would think that having a set amount of student tickets could have a positive effect on the atmosphere of the game. It creates a buzz around the game and could make the students that get tickets be more into the entire experience.-South Dakotan by birth, a Jackrabbit by choice.Comment

Student seating should be a priority. They are the future fan base.Comment
