How do you advertise a sellout for 2 months, yet an entire section of student tickets sit empty? Those tickets need to be sold to the public. Bet ndsu could have sold the tickets Friday or Saturday instead of having them empty.

I agree with this. Notice that Hockey is before football for this guy.

Disappointed with the student turnout. What the hell? They should probably quit distributing student tickets Wednesday at midnight and allow fans to buy them up if there are leftovers.

It was irritating to see students complaining so much because they didn't get a ticket to homecoming and then the facebook bison page had to beg students to get tix for today's game. I think if they are not reserved by thursday night, Friday should be open for general admission access. I don't like to see empty seats.

Is it sad that I think that NDSU's dominance(until today obviously) has to an extent, driven some students away? Watching blowouts obviously isn't as fun as watching a good game. While today was extremely frustrating, it was still a good game to watch.

I dont understand why every year after homecoming we have to beg students to show up. It was a perfect day. Great weather. 3 pm start. Great opponent. Lame. Sell the tickets.

Much more on Pheasant/Deer openers, but it has little to do with how good or bad the team is. For the most part it is a social event and they would rather be elsewhere. I remember the outcry when they moved the band, it took away a section that some students like sitting in. And games were still tragically empty.

Why beg the students at all? If they dont want to showup for the games then sell the tickets to the public on Thursday or Friday. This has been an issue every year and becomes obvious now that every other ticket in the dome is sold. Maybe just take the endzone student tickets away all together. If they use all of their tickets for every home game for an entire year, then give them part of a section back.

Just like any other Pheasant opener or deer opener from prior years, there is a drop in student attendance. They should sell a certain percentage of tickets not claimed as GA in a season where the dome is sold out. However, there were several reserved tickets that were being sold in the tailgating lot, and I think that anyone that showed up looking for a ticket got into the game.

Talked to a student from NDSU at dinner this evening in Clearbrook MN. I asked what he was doing at home since the Bison played at home this weekend. He stated that he was unable to get his ticket because they are all gone in about an hour. Is this true?

Most weekends, yes. This weekend, not by a long shot. There were hundreds left.

They were trying to get students to claim tickets as late add Wednesday. Every other game had been under an hour

Some students have probably stopped trying to get tickets, and never really thought about doing it for this weekend.

I like the student section but if they don't fill the seats every game it needs to shrink. I love my grandmas too but I don't set out ten chairs at thanksgiving for the two grandmas that come.

Other than Friday students have attended well based on appearance at beginning of game its the staying until the end has been a problem until last weekend which was pretty much expected considering. So taking tickets away would be like saying since we only average 18000 a game we are only going to sell that many tickets.

I agree. Talk of taking tickets away from the students is ridiculous. If you want to work out a resell and revenue share with student government for the increasingly rare occasions where they don't claim all of their tickets, fine, but it's silly to talk about reducing the allotment when the only time all year there's been any hint of an issue is the same weekend that joe citizen is also out doing other things. This is just a soft weekend.

Remember that this is a long weekend for the students having today off and the hunting opener.

This was my thought as well. Plus with the hunting opener and the long weekend it is what it is.

When he mentions giant cock with the sucking reference I think its best to leave that conversation to him being an expert.
I would have nothing to add in a way of practical experience etc so I defer.
