It's not just a WSU issue. The KU GA/Student Section has been 3/4 full most every game this year except for the Florida game.

Look guys, I would like to see the student section full just as much as everyone else. But it's finals week....
It will be better for Alabama.Comment

That's cool and all, but then don't pick up tickets to a game you'll be missing to take finals.Originally posted by shocks02 View PostDeuces Valley.

Fine it's finals week but students knew it was finals week when they committed to the tickets. Give them to someone who can go or quit writing checks your body can't cash.Comment

Saying it on here is just preaching to the choir. I think everyone here agrees with that, there needs to be an incentive to use those tickets once you have them. If getting to see one of the best basketball teams in the country isn't enough, then maybe they should try the money deposit that others have suggested. It'd be a pain, but those seats NEED to be filled.Comment

If the Athletic Dept. hasn't seen this problem and/or is not acting on it..Deuces Valley.

To be fair to the students, I looked up at about half or so, and some students must have come late. 1/4 of the seats or so that were empty earlier had people in them. No matter how many, it wasn't as bad as it was when the game began.Comment

If I'm trying things, I'd eliminate guest passes until 72 hours before gametime.
If that's not enough then move to only issuing single game tickets.
Those are easy things that don't require changes to any processes outside of the distribution of tickets, requires no cash deposits, and no implementation of a "3 strike system". Those things can all be evaluated in the offseason.
And when students complain, say that the previous approach wasn't getting all the tickets used, so the students lost out on their posh deal.You miss 100% of the shots you don't take....
.....but, statistically speaking, you miss 99% of the shots you do take.Comment

The top 1/4 of both sections weren't doing the same mannerisms the students were doing, so I'm assuming those were just GA people. If crammed together with no seats in between bodies, the students filled up about one of the two GA sections, maybe a little more.Originally posted by shockmonster View PostComment

Is there actually GA tickets for non-students? How does one obtain said tickets?Originally posted by DPruett2333 View PostLivin the dreamComment

The good news is that we're concerned about at most a few hundred seats in a loud arena that's otherwise full.
The bad news is that there are still far too many students apprenticing to be corporate fat cats who don't use their seats either. Wufan has a good question: if the student seats are truly GA, there ought to be a way for people who will actually show up and use them to access to them.Comment

If student's do not pick up all the tickets they go to GA. That's why everyone is saying if you can't go don't pick up a ticket.Originally posted by wufan View PostβLet your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.β

Have they all been picked up? DPruett's comment above makes it sound as if some tickets are still available.Originally posted by kochHead View PostLivin the dreamComment

Even if those were all students, if you packed them all together, the entire area above the band would be completely empty.Last edited by DPruett2333; December 10, 2014, 10:35 AM.Comment

Not sure if they're changing ticket rules, but I saw on Twitter last night that they're doing a tent camp out for Marshallville for the Alabama game.Comment
