Football Season Tickets
I got my mine today in the mail. At first I was assumed. These were plain Jane tickets retro right out of the Rasnick Genyk
era. In previous years there were high quality color printed tickets with seniors pictures a different one for each game. We have gone from a perk for each home game to a perk for 50 per cent of the home games to zero perks this season for season ticket holders.So when the AD and head coach tell season tickets how special they are on July 28 and then send tickets that look like they were done at the local high school print shop what message are they really trying to send?

RE: Football Season Tickets
It's all about emphasizing the digital tickets. Digital tickets are the priorit. Every sports team is moving that way, so just like the rest, that's where EMU is going.

I honestly didn't know that paper tickets were still a thing.

The event with coach a few weeks ago was a nice perk.

And season ticket perks? What are other MAC schools offering football season ticket holders?

I suspect it's budget related.

I got a lot of good stuff like that including annual reports of an NFL team which was partially publicly owned until 1976.

It was despite CC being a bit cranky. Did they ever post the picture of season ticket holders that was taken?

DP, lot of +/-

Digitals are so easy to re-sell or transfer to friends. Otherwise I do like paper tickets.

We got rid of paper game programs. Some folks like memories of the games. Oh well.

RE: Football Season Tickets
Hey guys, kind of a random question.....I go to a game or 2 every year and typically sit 20 rows or so up on the Home side nearest Convocation center. What's the best seat available for a non season ticket holder?

In my opinion, it would be towards the south end. Nothing against the band and student section but they tend to stand most of the game and can block the view if the north endzone if you're sitting (writing that sentence makes me feel old).

Dear Friends,
I don't know what would be so hard or expensive to print a one page piece of paper with the players numbers and names. This whole concept of saving money at the expense of enjoying the game, has me upset.

Need someone to hand them out. Otherwise, cost isn't much.
