The non-season ticket holder really got screwed with seats. The fact that the Wisconsin game was completely sold out before the public sale is ridiculous. MU really needs to do something to help out the out of State alumni. The five game packages don't work because I won't be able to make all the games and then the seat will be empty. I don't think they want that do they?
Couple things .. first, Marquette (and its fans) want to keep the
Red out. Getting them in the hands of season ticket holders (at 10 seats each) will go pretty far in doing just that. True, you either need to be a STH, a 5-pack person, or know a STH to get there, or you'll be trolling on eBay.
BTW, I tried to get 4 extras (above my 10) .. they caught me, and cancelled the 4 extras. Last year, they did not do that, although no game was as hot as the UW game. This year, correctly, all games (sans UW) were unlimited.
.. One other thing .. After getting pissed at the BS seats Ticketmaster gave out, I faxed in STH order form, with instructions to seat me as low as possible, especialy in the corners. I'd thought they would have filled my order before Saturday, when the tickets went to the public. When they called yesterday, I was pissed, since they hadn't filled them yet. The guy on the phone said they would fill them from a special allocation for STH's .. and indeed, I was able to get some decent corner seats.
So .. at some point, they've gotta release those they allocated for STH's. I'm shocked they haven't yet, but one would have to assume they'd do that soon, as they can't just hold on to them for weeks.
So, the moral of the story is .. speak to a human .. I doubt any of these games will sell out until the day of/week of the game .. so if they give you crappy Row X seats, say no. Wait. Try again later. The worst that will happen is you get those Row X's back at a later date.
