Demand and Supply, I see they also limited Gold level to 2 reserved seats.

I'm a gold member and can request 2 tickets. Does somebody here want a couple? I'd probably have to get a price which would make it worth my time and effort though. I'd also ask that they are not used by a squawk.

Interesting move by the AD. There is going to be a lot of ****** off donors who open their mail today. Was there some advance warning that they were going to change this policy this year?

So what are they going to do with single game tickets? Do they figure that the upper level donors will buy them all off?

How do they sell tickets if they won't let you buy them?

Maybe there are simply a lot fewer "extra" tickets available due to increased season sales.

Have you seen any press releases to this effect? Would be great news, but I don't think it's very likely that we took a huge step in season ticket sales following a disappointing 5 win season paired with a horrible economy.

In the past NCC members could request "up to 4" single game tickets to any home game, but they were never guaranteed and were always handed down in order based on donation level and history. Why change that policy now?

So instead of getting 0, some people will be getting 0.

I've never gotten less than the maximum amount of tickets (4) requested for any single game, including Iowa at the States level. My point is they have always been handed out by donation level based on demand, so your explanation makes no sense. If there was higher demand this year, less people would get their requested tickets at the lower donation levels...as it has always been...

And it looks like that's exactly what is happening. They're just taking out one step. Instead of asking for 4 and getting 2, you can only ask for 2.


Got my order form today and I'm not able to request even 1 ticket for the Iowa game. Cardinal level.
Demand and Supply, I see they also limited Gold level to 2 reserved seats.
I'm a gold member and can request 2 tickets.
