yeah i checked that too, plus on their diagram on the internet, none of their prices color charts match the color charts on the knapp center map. Plus the only seats you can get it seems like are rows 1-3 in the balcony and if you've been there they re behind a railing f which people will walk in front of you the wole time
It is essentially a high school gym, not really a bad seat in there. Make sure to lock your car and hide your valuables though.
Yeah Drake ad sandy hatfield is another dandy along with greg barfa at the u of i. I guess ms hatfield thinks that everyone is gonna pay twice the price to see iowa state play in des moines...well i for one will not be contributing to the drake athletic dept so i gueess i will just watch the game on the television.
"We will no longer be playing drake or northern iowa... we just cant find a place on the schedule for either team." .... todd lickliter @ the u of i:biglaugh:

Yeah, the pricing is kind of odd there. My theory is that their ticket office folks can barely handle one price for tickets, much less try to comprehend different price levels. I'm pretty sure my tickets are in the first couple rows of the "upper" level...don't worry about that, you can just stand up if you have trouble seeing. The main thing is to get to the game.
I'll echo some of the other posts..........do not get seats in the first few rows of the upper section. You will be bobbing and weaving your head the entire game like a welterweight boxer trying to watch the game while people walk in front of you. Also the railing is directly in your line of sight.
My front row "obstructed view priority seating" tickets arrived yesterday :biggrin:
I couldn't pay 28bucks to see Drake. I think I'll sit at home with beer, chips and my TV.

Should merge this thread in with this one: http://www.cyclonefanatic.com/forum/mens-basketball/17043-drake-game-6pm-why.html
I won't double post it but read my post about the tickets then stop your complaining...

you're gonna watch CHIPs on your TV while ISU plays Drake?
Can you say "FLAMER"??!:tongue:
I am appalled they are charging more for this game than their other games. Are they thinking this is their "Final Four" championship game?:biggrin:
Oh wait, didn't Pollard just do this for the UI vs ISU game this year?:yes:
They can charge as much as they want, I will just choose not to pay the price to watch the game. The Drake/ISU rivalry is not worth $5 to me!

That is how I fell about isu as well, it has gotten too expensive especially for the product we are seeing in football and basketball. I have kids to send to college so the university is going to get it no matter what.
I can understand families not wanting to spend over $100 to go support our team at Drake but I can't comprehend a big Cyclone fan living within an hour radius of Des Moines just saying "screw it, I'll watch it on t.v." I guess it takes being out of the state for a year to shake off the "taking it for granted" syndrome that a lot of people have around here.
