Let’s face it the WSU AD is not very concerned about customer service or fan experience. All they want is $$$
AND it’s been that way for years.

Which unfortunately is an argument to expect more of the same. WSU has never been flush with funds in excess of needs and with the move to the AAC the financial pressures are increasing, not diminishing. No reason to think that the $$$ situation won't continue to be priority #1 for a long, long time. -
Also, when it’s the hottest ticket in town there is little incentive to do things differently. -
Which brings us to the other co-#1 priority. Putting an entertaining and competitive team on the court. Start cosnsistently putting NIT quality (or worse) teams on the floor and the $$$ situation will only get worse. And if that happens it won't really matter what they do about the ancillary non-game fan experiences.
The monster has been created and now it has to be fed.

I think the problem is student tickets are general admission tickets. I get really pissed as a student when I see non students (middle aged adults/older folks) sitting in the F'in student section! Especially when they get p!ssed about not being able to see when they're sitting down. I've had older folks ask me to sit down because they couldn't see and didn't want to stand. WSU athletic department needs to make a specific section where students ONLY can stand. If you go to a Jayhawks, Duke, and UNC game you'll never see anything but students in the student section. I'd like to know why its not like that at Wichita State? Makes no sense to me!Originally posted by ShockCrazy View PostShocker Alumni

That is the STUDENT section. The reason there are others there is because the students haven't filled the student section for the past few years. The tickets have only gone GA because students don't claim all the seats. So it's better a non-student than an empty seat. So you wanna complain about older people in the student section the blame lies with the students who don't show.Originally posted by WichitaHawk View PostComment

However, everyone one knows where the students sit and if you score tiickets in those sections you really should realize that you may be standing for a good part of the game. When in Rome you are going to have to do what the Romans do.Last edited by 1972Shocker; January 22, 2018, 05:16 PM. -
Heck as an addendum I want to say the AD has done a good job this year of making sure the student section is at least full of people. Last year's student section was a joke. I'd say at least 5 or 6 games it was about half full at best.

Also include that there were a s÷#^ton of empty seats for SMU. Why wouldn't you go to promos when you can't sell tickets.Comment

Even when the Houston arena got semi-loud, those fans were not going to stand for anything. Their assistant coaches were standing on chairs trying to get the crowd to stand up and get engaged, but everyone just kept sitting.Comment

It was a good thing. That arena has an issue with people standing right in front of the TV cameras. It appeared to be due to a poor angle for the camera. With the exception of the very beginning and very end, that was never an issue, but it would have been really annoying if it had been an issue. Fortunately, it will be a one-year thing with Houston and that the renovated arena should be more friendly with TV angles.

Me too! I have been talking about that all year. That place is Tulsa right down to the Polka dot flag. I'm betting the game planners are oblivious.Originally posted by ShockTalk View Post

What is WSU’s income % once new media contract is made? NCAA Valley $ is gone and it will be a few years for AAC tourney money. Boatright needs to watch the budget.Comment

“Also, when it’s the hottest ticket in town there is little incentive to do things differently.”
Maybe not so much. I’ve had tix for the UCF game on Stubhub for about a week (at or below the suggested price) and they’re still there. Discussion of not changing up things (or the adding seats issue) seem crazy to me when tix go for such low prices.Comment

Blatantly obvious they’ve been reading this board.Comment

Well, they’ve started to get the same message on this issue from multiple angles - former players, media members, school newspaper, Facebook, Twitter, Internet forums, etc, so thank goodness at least one of those channels was important enough to take note of, whichever one that was.
It was certainly improved. Long ways from there yet, but better.
