YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: ticketgate

Just so everyone knows now, this particular thread is getting locked after Christmas. It is taking up far to much time and is cared about by too few people.

I'm a bison fan. You can check my IP address it's from Moorhead, MN. I use the same username on AGS, Bisonville, and I even have a little history with the Redbird fan on here on the ISU forum when I felt him and a few others were overly critical of their Department on other ticket stuff a couple years ago.

You and some others don't see anything wrong with how YSU handled this. However, you're doing your fanbase a disservice by deleting and locking threads on this issue. Myself (completely unbiased) and a few other YSU fans don't agree. I couldn't care less if you delete this or ban me or whatever, but let the conversation be had. Other Penguin fans can read and/or post and come to their own conclusion how they feel about how YSU handled this.

Now maybe you see some of the frustrations that I get from Nation all the time. He comes on here and posts anything he wants an refuses to let anyone type a comment after him.

What?  Hahahahaha 

Game set match. You do nothing but come here and attack my alma mater on a daily basis. You cannot stand anyone questioning your theories and calling you disloyal. BTW, you do not do what Pally did ...which is why you are still here. You have a long ways to go to catch up with him.

Man, you got to put away the rose colored glasses. I don't know the history of you and PN, but regarding this he just laid down the smoking gun.

Every YSU fan should be demanding answers on this. Just because someone is critical of the University doesn't mean they are less of a fan, and if as fans and/or students you don't demand better you won't get better.

BTW, I have watched tickets for this game for the past 5 years. At some point this market will fall off. Make your plans to get down there and where to stay. There will be plenty of tickets closer to the game for reasonable prices. Also, they usually release standing room only tickets usually between now and the first of the year. There's a ton of space to stand and get a very good view of the game if you don't mind standing.

AGS !!! LOL glad you did not say news media. Just another BBS. Besides we found that here before they did.

Again still waiting for someone to prove there was no cost to YSU beyond the ability to return the tickets. Has anyone discovered if the return will include a full refund? Has anyone discovered if we have some sort of special link and/or software with the NCAA required to reserve these flash seats?

I'm not sure why you're struggling with this, but here it is again.

"A participating institution may return any unsold tickets. They will need to inform Trina Simerly at
the NCAA (tsimerly@ncaa.org; 317-917-6516) of the number of electronic tickets to be returned
and their location no later than 5 p.m. Eastern time Monday, December 26. No hard ticket returns
will be accepted. Once the competing institutions release the tickets being retained, the NCAA and
Team Frisco may use them for sale to the general public.

The NCAA will invoice the participating institutions for all tickets taken and payment will be due
to the NCAA not later than 30 days after the date of the championship game"

The only thing YSU was on the hook for was any hard tickets.

Folks, here's a positive way to spin this. When we're back in Frisco next season, can our Athletic Department not lie and screw up?!

Next year, everyone on the opposite side of the bracket will be rooting for you guys.

You have that going for ya.

Wow. Does your AD moderate this site?

Fact: YSU could request flash seats (online seats) and they had until Monday the 26th to either sell and accept them or return them.

Your AD screwed you guys. If you want to bury your head in the sand go ahead. Again, I couldn't care less what you guys do, but that is my opinion watching this from an unbiased view.

If you're coming in the Dallas/Ft Worth field, I would rent a car. It'll cost you just as much to taxi up to Plano and back. They have Uber and that's the way to get around if you're drinking.

The Legacy area has a lot of bars. Most of them walking distance from one another. Ringo's, Scruffy Duffy's, ect. Lot's of sit down restaurants as well.

Tailgate outside of the stadium. The haven't served alcohol inside in the past although some folks on the JMU board are claiming they will this year. They do have hospitality wrist bands that have a special lounge you can purchase and drink adult beverages (drinks must remain in the lounge). There are a few people on bisonville and elsewhere that have them for sale. I'm assuming you guys will be assigned the east lot to tailgate in. (Blue lot)
