Typically they put student tickets on sale the Monday of game week. Since the UNI game is going to be one of the biggest games in years, why not start early? Time is the best marketing tool. Need to get the students thinking ahead. Its probably going to be cold and late season games are usually less attended by students. All it takes is a banner on the NDSU websites, a sign in the union, and an email blast saying "tickets to the game go on sale early, Friday. "

You have so many ideas. Why not work for the marketing department?

If people cant click a button on a website over the course of 5 days, they arent gonna get it done over the course of 10 days. It litterally takes 9 seconds to get a student ticket. Starting to advertise the game early would be good though.

The thing is and in my opinion out of respect for the players that are students. The players don't need to be bombarded with emails and other marketing that is also going out to all the students including them about UNI when they have to have SDSU on their minds. Wait until the SDSU game is done before you start looking ahead to the next game marketing wise. If the students don't get it next week that the UNI game is a big game they are not going to get it this week. Just my .02

I was in marketing for many years. I would rather float ideas around for free because they couldn't afford me!

Word of mouth is the best advertising and the best way to get people talking about it is to get the tickets on sale faster. It creates the impression its a big game thats everyone wants to go to and creates a sense of urgency. Next week in Thursday when there are only 2 days left until gametime and only 2,000 tickets are left, they will wish they had an extra day or 2 to use. Otherwise DjKyro is going to have to be cruising through campus freezing his nuts off with frozen snot stuck to his nose Dumb and Dumber style.

They didn't have actual "student tickets" in 2007... but if you were one of the first 4000 or so students in line, you got into the game with a swipe of your student ID card.

Games after homecoming in 2007
SUU: 15,700 was totally dead.
ISUr: 18,000
I doubt you will see the student section even at 100% capacity for UNI, maybe 85-90%. I do however expect GA to be 100% packed.

Attendances are listed at the bottom of the box score.

Thats the ISUr game, best attended post homecoming game in 07.
No pictures of the SUU game crowd.

You're right. Going from $0 budget to 3 cans of Alpo per week is really going to drain the coffers. Good thinking!

ONE GAME AT A TIME!!
Halloween weekend might be a good weekend and a rowdy student section.
Biggest student section I've ever seen was the first game of the 2008 season and homecoming 2011. 2007 had some good one too,IIRC.

Hey guys, make sure to check out the new thread I started that explains the workaround for accessing ESPN 360 to bitch about student tickets. I put it in the football section because no one reads any other forums.

how about they are reserved and as a requirement the students have to stay for the WHOLE game......not bail at halftime. And this should apply to the rest of the crowd- blowout or not that was pathetic last week- there couldnt have been 4000 people left midway through the 4th quarter. I was in my seat until the final whistle- just like every game.

They have been decent at sticking around. If they have fun and enjoy themselves they stay for the entire game. Thats why its important to have all the other activities that some people are annoyed at.
