YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Frisco tickets. .

Here is how it works. 8k seats are held back for the allotments to the schools. The remainder were open up to the public back around August 25th. They sold out in a day. Mostly to Bison fans because they have been buying early since the second year of their run. For 2013-2015, they even sold 3 year packs. This year was less tickets because the end zone section is under construction.
I think it is on the Sunday or Monday conference call after the semis the AD has to indicate if the band is coming and how much of the allotment they want of the 4k. They probably should move that call to Tuesday and let the schools presell the allotment. The school could have opened up the online sales, pre-sold tickets, and if they went over 4k, base it on priority points and then request order. It isn't like this is rocket science. Refund those who didn't qualify. It isn't like schools haven't set a precedent with this since the last time YSU has gone to a championship game. NDSU learned after the first year and a lot of mistakes how to sell the allotment after the semis through Sunday then be in a position to know exactly how much to request during the NCAA call. Of course it has been all of them, but we are a little stir crazy to get out of Fargo for a few days come January. The bottom line is I am sure if YSU didn't have a plan, they could have reached out to a fellow Valley school for their plan and work from it.
I will keep buying tickets in August each year because I have yet to lose money. They did start out $35-$45 6 years ago and now up to $65-$75, but it isn't a very large stadium. I do have a few hospitality wristbands that one can couple with the cheapest seats they can find out there for a fun experience. I keep the post on the first page of this thread updated with how many I have left. I have found those to be well worth it, especially when it hasn't been such kind weather. 11 AM is still a little cool, even on the warmer days in a Texas winter.
Good luck YSU!! I hope the Championship stays in the MVFC.
