    I would love to see non ticket holders have some sort of priority as I believe with my priority points I would be in the mix for some good tickets.... I am however fully aware that people who have been givien more will get and deserve their first dibs at these

    It is difficult to have leverage when 90% of the time there is 75% blue in that area of the dome. Yet, the students did not lose a single ticket. We all want a better student/ athlete experience and this is a serious financial boost and it is immediate.

    I was a team maker when I was a graduate student because I wanted to know where I was sitting every Saturday. While the demand for season tickets have increased every year since I have joined, the student turnout has been very consistent. They have spoken in numerous ways.

    If people remember back when Bohl was here, the students begged for more tickets for homecoming because there was not enough. Bohl said you come to every game and not just homecoming and you get your tickets. The students came and they got their tickets and sections. Well now students for whatever reason are not coming to the games as they once did. Yes the rabid students are still there and add get to the game. You are probably right on the small amount it changes each student for fees paid. I guess to me to that we are still have the lowest fees from students in both the Summit and MVFC. Maybe the students should have voted in the increase in fees the school was looking for and they would have their seats. And most likely still be one of the lowest fees paid vs our conference mates.

    For what it's worth, I emailed Matt Larsen asking him to reconsider the lower 16 rows staying with the students. I know it will do no good...but at least I did something rather than just complaining on here. I probably should have called.
    Would have liked to see that.

    This is a bit of a bullshit grab as they took the good seats.

    Why do I think your percentages are pulled out of thin air? Sounds like Black Panther. Again...not arguing that ticket situation couldn't be altered...just saying the lower section of 16 was the best in the dome and was full of rabid fans. They are getting screwed.

    Of course they took the good seats. They didn’t want to give that section to students in the first place. They sure as hell weren’t going to hand back $100,000 for an endzone section. And this provides options at multiple price points for both new subscribers and existing looking for upward or downward mobility after years of 99+ percent renewal rates.

    Unless I heard incorrectly the students had their chance to keep section 16 but voted down the increase to athletic fee the NDSU AD said it would require. I believe the students are still sitting on $1.3M worth of tickets for football which is roughly the amount of revenue they contribute to the athletic budget I believe. Money talks in today's D1 athletics landscape.

    SB Prez was just on with Gaptooth. Gap didn’t get answer he was looking for—>students aren’t upset.

    Not sure it was as explicit as that when the vote was taken.

    student section seats are about $1.1 million now (my calculation) while contribution to athletics will be $1.36 per Forum story.
