*sideways glance*

i got the same email but also claimed and printed off a ticket

8/26/2007 3:01:31 PM

apparently it's gone into on-demand, cause I can get extra guest tickets. So either there were more tickets than people who registered and the emails got screwed up, or there is going to be a huge clusterfuck at Carter Finley.

8/26/2007 4:49:22 PM

8/27/2007 1:45:54 AM

in my day we had to stand outside in the cold at 5:30 am to get tickets, 3:30 for ACC games

and we had to walk there from the dorms, uphill both ways, in the snow, with bears chasing us...

Sounds like the recipe for more overcrowding and R Kelly moments. This is so much better than the voucher system!

8/27/2007 9:12:06 AM

i don't think tickets can be appreciated as much without at least some work getting them

^^ it took me 5 mouse clicks to get my tickets shoulda only been 2 or 3 way too much work for me

i still don't understand why we can't do the same lottery system and then just pick up real tickets at reynolds and/or carter-finley or whatever. it would fix SO many of these problems. and i really don't think it's that big of a burden.

8/27/2007 1:41:59 PM

^ and if it is, you don't deserve tickets.

8/27/2007 1:54:40 PM

^^True, but the main reason athletics has been pushing this for years is so they wouldn't have to staff the ticket windows.
