that's right, half of you signed up for the campout aren't getting tickets, while the frat group who rented out section 121 or w/e last game will get tickets online and no show up for the biggest game of the year

"From the Ticket Website: All tickets will be made available to those camping out. If campout registration fills up and everyone successfully completes campout, no on-demand ticketing will occur. In the case tickets remain after campout, the online system will distribute them as it would for any game, but quantities will be limited. Essentially if you want to be guaranteed the better student tickets to the February 20th Carolina game, camp out and be a part of one of NC State's great traditions. We look forward to seeing you there - GO PACK! ~ NCSU Student Government If you choose to change this policy at the last minute you will become hypocrites. This was an understood policy from the beginning and your blatant disrespect for the student's who have enough desire to do anything to get tickets to this game is totally unacceptable. Anyone who really wished to be at the game would find means to be there. Life is not always fair and equitable. "

im sure they will just block em all but everyone might as well send one too. Doesnt hurt at least

he may not be in charge but he sure as hell could have made a stand and not let Stafford get away with it.

2/7/2008 11:05:49 PM

^
and in all likelihood Athletics wouldn't have paid Stafford any attention were it not for the fact a member of the Board of Trustees -- and allegedly the "head" of the Student Government -- jumped on the chance to agree with this idiotic decision

Bobby Mills was thinking about reelection -- and then he realized how seriously he fucked over the Student Body, so he's backpedaling faster than Lance Armstrong going downhill in reverse.

This is the same guy who refused to sign the Senate's proposal to strengthen penalties for ticket scalping, because it would be "too harsh for people who don't know the rules"...

^greg, can we impeach him and get u in there somehow lol...

or at least go back to caravano...

2/7/2008 11:08:09 PM

impeachment takes too long. Lets just string his ass up from a tree and let the 3000+ campers get in a couple licks.

what were the email addresses to send the message to?

2/7/2008 11:09:03 PM

Maybe I missed something, but I don't see why people are so pissed at Bobby Mills. He is supposed to represent everyone, not just the poor saps who camped out. Is it shitty? Yes. But there are 1000s of students who didn't camp out b/c they don't have that kind of free time and still expected a chance to get a ticket. You yank all of their tickets and you'll have a much bigger group of pissed off people.

At least if you camped out out you have a higher percentage chance of getting a ticket than those who didn't camp out (assuming over 3000 people apply for the non-campout lottery, which I imagine they will).

haha I appreciate the sentiment, but I passionately hate the position of Student Body President -- it's practically tailor-made for students to get bought off by the Administration and sell out the students who elected them

y'all just remember this when that kid comes asking you for your votes again in March  

2/7/2008 11:09:35 PM

just come election time remember who was lookin out for ya

2/7/2008 11:09:42 PM

easy solution

1) go to campout
2) get blackout drunk
3) riot outside staffords house/office @ 4am
4) take tickets from his cold, heartless self
5) pack tickets into air cannon
6) return to Lee Field
7) shoot tickets into air
8) battle for tickets as they descend to earth much like hornets fans looking for Bojangles coupons from Air Hugo

if this does not work, repeat step 2 until help arrives

umm nah apparently you didnt look at the ticket website where it clearly said that if you wanted a ticket, you needed to campout

2/7/2008 11:10:18 PM

^According to the ticket website, not camping out might result in a 0 chance of getting tickets

2/7/2008 11:10:26 PM

if you don't have free time from 8pm friday to 7am saturday, then you don't have free time ~7-9 on a wednesday night.

WHATEVER. make the time, that's what i'm doing.

2/7/2008 11:11:26 PM

^^^ Talage it does matter because they made a public statement on your ticket website that everyone would get tickets, then they retract it the DAY before campout.

the problem is that there is free time, its a friday night...no classes interfere.

they screwed us.

honestly, if you care enough about the game, you will find a way in.

i dont care about all this bullshit.


if you care enough, you will be at the game.

TGB, might be good to put some of the email correspondence into the group description...hard numbers

2/7/2008 11:13:28 PM

not to mention I'm sure those willing to campout have the same or more responsibilities than those not willing to do it. I'm sure the frat who left all those rows empty at the WF game are licking their chops at the possibility of having the same chance to get tickets as those camping out while they have a party and black out.

how is it that we have a "SENIOR" football game where all seniors are given priority for the last home game, yet there is nothing like that for a seniors last home game vs UNC or Duke?

2/7/2008 11:16:27 PM

Yeah the big hole in logic here is that the way it's always been is that all tickets are alloted to those camping and any leftovers go to online...yet this e-mail claims that it's always been half and half. Leads me to once again say...

I also say down with whatever frat that claimed those tickets. Every single one of those people should be banned from claiming tickets for a year.

2/7/2008 11:19:33 PM

^ Was that ever confirmed? I thought the ticketing system just messed up?

they really need to put a limit on the number of people in a seating block so that never happens again.

still nothing official

i mean it only took him 2 hours to type that e-mail up.

this is my 5th year doing campout and all tickets have never been allocated to campout. As stated earlier . . . there have been times when there was a waitlist to be able to campout

I'm just going of what several RBC center workers as well as the guest services told me when I asked to move down. I was just pissed that I've gone to every game and because they messed up my group members penalties points, we got stuck in 113 WW where I'm sure tons of people who hadn't ever been to a game were sitting on the floor.

2/7/2008 11:26:37 PM

i wouldn't post his address jt3. Definitely possible legal issues there, especially if someone were to actually go over there and harass him or do something worse.

2/7/2008 11:28:07 PM

the penalty points don't work like they're supposed to anyways. And for group seating, the group members points don't matter, just the group leader. And if you've been penalized you're supposedly not able to be a group leader.
