An update….I finally got through to someone and got it handled, but….

I must have called the ticket office numbers a dozen times over 2 days. Left five messages for someone to call back. Never got a call back. So, I went online and got the phone numbers for others in the athletic department that work with tickets. Called the assistant AD for ticket sales, had to leave a message. Called the assistant to the assistant and actually was able to talk with a live person that got it handled for me. I secured 4 tickets and a tailgate spot

I asked why the tailgate spot was so expensive….$100 for that game alone vs $300 for the whole season? Was told that $100 was the price they always charge for someone wanting a single game tailgate spot. I expressed my opinion that was not fair to people who had already spent money for season tickets and tailgate spots for the whole year. I asked that my opinion be considered in the future and was told that it would be discussed.

My opinion is that I would be willing to pay a little more for a seasons tailgate spot upfront, if I was then not charged anymore when they made it to the championship game at the Nip. If they don’t make it the university still keeps the extra money.

I also expressed that they should upgrade the computer system and allow season ticket holders to change their seat allocation downward online for games such as this, especially if they are unable to staff the ticket office to a point where it needs to be in order to service their customers.
