Dear ticket holder,
Thank you for your support of K-State Athletics, and the K-State Men’s Basketball team. K-State is known around the country for the electric environment at Bramlage Coliseum, and our Student Section is known as one of the loudest in America!
I wanted to make sure you are aware of the updated game day policies at Bramlage Coliseum and a new reward system for the ku game, so that when the Wildcats take the floor on November 8th against Pittsburg State, you will be fully prepared to show up to cheer on the Cats!
On game days, the following procedures will be in place:
· The top of Section 18, rows 13-31, as well as Sections 19, 20, and 21 are reserved for ICAT ticket holders. All students in these sections will be required to wear an ICAT wristband which will be issued upon entry into the arena.
· General Admission seating is in Sections 22, 23, 24, and 25.
· Anyone using student tickets will be required to show a student ID to be admitted into Bramlage Coliseum.
· Student seating is first-come first-served for all games with exception to the game against ku.* Please note: due to more tickets being sold than the student allotment in the arena, possession of a ticket DOES NOT guarantee entry into the arena. For high-demand games, come early!
· Overnight Camping is not permitted at Bramlage Coliseum. Lineup for entry into the arena will begin at 6:00 AM on game days.
· The Southeast Entrance will open 90 minutes before tipoff for ICAT ticket holders, and 75 minutes before tipoff for General Admission ticket holders.
· At 30 minutes before tipoff, chains protecting the ICAT sections will be dropped, and GA ticket holders will be allowed to fill in any open seats in Sections 18, 19, 20, and 21.
*ku Student Ticket Holder Line-up Registration
In order to ensure entry into the ku game is done as safely and fairly as possible, the Athletics Department in cooperation with SGA is implementing a preregistration procedure. As a part of this procedure, your order of entry into the ku game will be based on the number of Men’s Basketball games you attend prior to the ku game on January 30.
· You will register in groups consisting of 1-10 people. This then is your line-up group for the game.
· The average number of games attended by the members of the registered group will determine their place in line.
· Students will receive one point for each men’s basketball game attended prior to the ku game.
· There are nine home games in the student ticket package before the ku game, therefore the total points possible will be nine. These nine games are:
o 11/8 – Pittsburg State
o 11/13 – Loyola Chicago
o 11/15 – Western Illinois
o 12/1 – Fort Hays State
o 12/5 – Washington State
o 12/8 – Xavier
o 1/12 – Texas A&M
o 1/18 - Texas
o 1/23 – Oklahoma State
· Any student purchasing a ticket to the IUPUI game at the Sprint Center in Kansas City will receive a bonus point, but you cannot exceed nine total points. This will make it possible to makeup one point if you cannot attend a game.
· Once registered in a group, individuals may not switch.
· Registration of groups will be online at www.kstatesports.com/powercatpregame, and will begin at 9:00 AM on November 16.
· To register, log on to www.kstatesports.com/powercatpregame, then follow the link to “Register my group.” You will then fill out the registration form with the names, eID’s, and Wildcat ID #’s of all individuals in your group. You will also create a group name at this time.
· Students must sign up their group online by Jan 22 using Wildcat ID #.
· In the event of a tie, the group which registers first will receive priority in the line.
· If you are not able to attend, but would like a friend to use your ticket, you must register with your Wildcat ID #, and your friend will be required to have your student ID card.
· You will be notified of lineup and ESPN GameDay entry procedures as details become available in coming weeks. For more information, visit www.kstatesports.com/powercatpregame.
If you have any questions or comments about these procedures, feel free to contact Nate Warren at 785-532-7932, or via email at [email protected].
Go Cats!

Insurance contracts are less wordy. But in reality, just go to the games, bring as many friends with you as you can, and you don't have to freeze your ass off overnight before any game. The registration is an extra step that probably takes a couple minutes. I know how college students are strapped for time.

It seems to me a little crazy to keep track of how many games the students go to. You need to go to the games to have a chance at getting into the ku game. However, they have oversold tickets by so much, trying to pack everyone into the games will be impossible. I think they really messed up by only offereing combo deals. There is no way that the whole student section for football can fit into the basketball student section. I guess I just expect that when I pay $300+ for tickets on top of paying close to $25,000 a year to go to school here I should have more of a guarantee that I can get into the games.
-
:dunno: I always wait in line hours before the game, so the fact that they oversold doesn't really bother me.
The policies for this year are better than I figured they'd be. I had heard they were trying to do a lottery system like they did for last year's uk game for EVERY conference game this year. That would have straight up sucked.
AFAIK, they've been keeping track of what games students have been going to for at least a couple years now. A year or two ago I think they gave a card signed by the team to students that went to every home game that season. I remember being pissed that I missed out on it since I missed one non-con game.

That's not true. I haven't missed a home basketball or football game in my 2+ years here so far and never received any reward. I'm just worried that I may not be able to make it to a game because they were irresponsible and oversold the student section. For everyone to pay $300+ for a chance to get a ticket to a game seems a little rediculous.
-
Wow, you really are Lamesauce. I actually thought that they were spot on....
Good job yet again John Currie!!!
-
How early do some of you students get in line for non con games and conference games?

Actually it is true, it was either Frank's first year or Huggin's only year. There were only a handful of students who had gone to all of the games.

Must have been hugg's year. I went to every game for 07-08 and got nothing.
-
This is kind of retarded.
-
They've been overselling the student section for years, anyone who got to the ku game last year any later than one hour prior to tipoff found this out. Stop being so dramatic.
It's a great idea. It ensures that only the hardcore fans will be courtside for ku, unlike in the lottery system last year. Hopefully it will boost attendance at some of the other games too.
-
Scares the f*ck out of me though, because I have to work every weekday. I can almost always just leave whenever I want, but what if I need to meet a deadline and miss a game :ohno:
Don't wanna miss the ku game
-
Finally . . . the KSU AD who is making the students accountable for consistently not filling the student section, despite cheap ass tickets and the best seats in the house.
Great Job ADJC.
-
Good job ADJC. Reward the students who come to the games. F*ck the students who only show up for the ku game.

:lol: QFT, I took up smoking during college I was so bored with all the free time. You go from being at high school from 7am to 7pm (if you played a sport) 5 days a week, to having 15 hours a week of class.

That would make what, 35 hours a week? Oh, my God, the horror!!! Sounds like a part time job at a fast food restaurant. Get out in the real world and put in 40-60 hours a week, just at the job, then bitch about it. GMAFB!

Must have been hugg's year. I went to every game for 07-08 and got nothing.
What they gave out at the end of Hugg's year was an uncut sheet of the promotional 16-card set which was autographed by every player. A very nice item to have, and one I would dearly love to buy if anyone here knows anybody who has one. There were only 12-15 given out as I recall. I've got most of the uncut sheets from both the men's and women's card sets going back to 2003, although last year they switched to normal-sized individual cards and did not produce any uncut sheets. If anyone wants to buy, sell, or trade cards, send me a pm.
Doom: I was told that students attending all games in 07-08 would get an uncut sheet as a reward (although probably not signed because there were way more that year than the year before). Maybe I was told wrong, though. I've got a ton of uncut sheets from that year.

The students in the Huggy/Martin era have really had it nice. I was a student during the F'n Wooly era and didn't miss any games. During non-con games, my friends and I were asked to move to the Alumni side of the stadium on several occasions to sit court-side just behind the TV crew. There was no one else in the stadium and they needed people to sit behind the TV commentators during their pre-game and halftime analysis to make it look like anyone showed up. What I'm getting at is I showed up and watched all that terrible basketball and got nodda. Now they're rewarding kids that show up to every game to watch some of the best teams this schools had in 2 decades. Color me jealous.

Go away, fatso.

Exactly. I was just glad they didn't do that stupid fracking lottery system this year. Wound up getting terrible seats last year. Plus it mixed up all of the true EMAWs around the ku-game only types. :yuck:
-
I agree, lotto system was 'tremely dumb
IMO ICAT peeps should get in no matter what, we paid big bucks $$$. Much more than "a thirty"
-
The one time when the student section at ku is actually full of students . . . when they play K-State.
-
I could be wrong but isn't it a good thing when you have more people that want to go to a game, even if it's only a couple games, than the Bram can hold? :dunno: Just throwin' darts at the wall here.
-
Scares the f*ck out of me though, because I have to work every weekday. I can almost always just leave whenever I want, but what if I need to meet a deadline and miss a game :ohno:

I hope the attendance thing is attached to the tickets and not the student ID. If thats the case, just make sure you get your tickets to someone who will use them. If it works like that then I think it is great. Also with the groups, the group will drag their sh**ty friends to the game that may not want to go so much because they will drag the group down. I like it.

Not to burst your preconceived bubble, but I'm salaried and still work 50+ hours a week. So, Hem, you may kiss my butt as soon as you figure out what work actually is. 8-)
-
We camped for up to a week outside Ahearn for prime, non-reserved seats for almost all the Big 8 games in my day. Quit being such a bunch of crybabies and support our Cats! Let's reinstate K-State as one of the premeir places to play basketball. Like we used to do in Ahearn, make the Bram ROCK!!!!!
For EVERY game.
Let's go.
Be Proud! Be Purple! Go State!
-
And ADJC goes yard again! JFC.
Prolly too soon to anoint this guy the next Babe Ruth (of college athletics directors), but you're looking at Willy Mays, Ken Griffey territory here folks.

Yep. Wonderful move by ADJC (The JC doesn't stand for John Currie, BTW).

"The students in the Huggy/Martin era have really had it nice. I was a student during the F'n Wooly era and didn't miss any games."
Same here, although during the Asbury era (ugh!). Ohh, and I missed one or two games. It was always fun during that era telling people I couldn't make a group project meeting because of a non-conference game and having fellow students kinda snicker that I went to those. Having been back to 3 games in Bramlage the last three seasons, Students now have NO idea how good they it. I fully support the changes. Nice move!
-
these threads are fascinating. why do the old people secretly hate students? don't get me wrong, college students are complete losers, but you were students at one time.
Worry about yourself.

it's not hate, it's jealousy. I'll admit I'm 100% jealous of every college student.
-

What he said. I'm jealous that I don't get to go to many games anymore. I do remember my friends and I kicking some "ku Game Only" students out of our seats (back when they still had those) during the ku game. That was pretty satisfying at the time.
-
AND THEN we walked to class in the snow. UPHILL.... BOTH WAYS
get over yourself old people.

Same boat here.
I like rewarding the students who show up to all the OOC games. I would assume most of the students that post here do so anyway, so why be upset about it? :dunno:
-
It’s really not about olds vs. youngs.
This is simply about using the fracking ticket you bought. And if the only game you’re planning on going to this year in basketball is ku, then you can go frack yourself.
Luckily, ADJC “gets it”. This is all about the secondary revenue that comes from asses in the seats and the consistent home court advantage that comes from it.
Next step will be for him to put the same sort of incentives in place for the olds on their season tickets as well. So a lazy boozecat like me or Pete or Limestone that commutes 4 hours on a Wednesday night to see the Cats play Baylor or CU or Nebrasketball, gets that ticket scanned and logged, and then starts to accumulate over and above additional Ahearn points based on how often the season ticket actually gets used.

I hope the attendance thing is attached to the tickets and not the student ID. If thats the case, just make sure you get your tickets to someone who will use them. If it works like that then I think it is great. Also with the groups, the group will drag their sh**ty friends to the game that may not want to go so much because they will drag the group down. I like it.
I'm pretty sure it is. They scan the tickets, only look at the ID to "prove" you're a student.
-
What has me worried is that those "ku only" types will be forced to come to all the games, and the "haven't missed a game in 2 years" crowd, like myself, will not be able to get into the game. It's not that I'm complaining about having to come to all the games, I've been to every single one since I've been here. I'm worried that someone who wouldn't normally be at the game will take my spot if I can't get there early enough. I have organic chemistry lab from 5:30-10:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, so I'll have to work something out to be able to attend the Fort Hays State and Xavier games.

What has me worried is that those "ku only" types will be forced to come to all the games, and the "haven't missed a game in 2 years" crowd, like myself, will not be able to get into the game. It's not that I'm complaining about having to come to all the games, I've been to every single one since I've been here. I'm worried that someone who wouldn't normally be at the game will take my spot if I can't get there early enough.

Your K-Statriotism is duly noted and is to be saluted. But, I wouldn't sweat it too much.
What the AD and Frank are trying to do is finally address Section 22 and 23 of the student section that notoriously sits empty for the majority of the season except for the big conference games. At the most though, I bet you're talking about 500 - 750 more students going to the games this year (which still would be a nice improvement).

these threads are fascinating. why do the old people secretly hate students? don't get me wrong, college students are complete losers, but you were students at one time.
Worry about yourself.
Weren't you kinda excited when the stadium expanded to include more luxury boxes? Or maybe a little intrigued by the louge seats in the OOD? You don't have those kind of seats, so why were you "worried" about it? :dunno:
-
I was an arch. major, I made it to just about every game-I was always p.o'ed at the retard fans that wouldn't show up to the non-con games but would magically appear for the ku or texas games.
Glad they are putting some accountablity in the student ticket holders.

I don't hate students. I just hate the students who don't show up for games. OOD is a 5-10 minute walk or drive for any student. And 95% of 'em have their tickets paid for by their parents.
So, yeah, when I make the 4 hour roundtrip from KC to support my team, I get very angry when 1500-2000 students decided to stay home and play XBox or jerkoff... or both. I get visibly angry.
The non-con games are clearly about supporting the team. The conference games are about supporting the team + watching good competitive basketball. Logically, the students who skip the non-con games care more about seeing a fun game then supporting the team. And frankly, sir, these dick-asses can F*themselves.
message for students: if I don't see you at the game, I hate you. About as much as I hate D. Scott Fritchen's pleather jacket.

I go to all OOC games, but you're being dumb saying it's a 5-10 min walk. At least know what you're talking about.

Yes. That would be dumb. That's why I typed, "5-10 minute walk or drive."
I'll give you a frowny face for reading comprehension.

Why does it have to be an either/or type thing? :dunno:
2 hours is plenty of time to do both.
-
prob the best idea that they could've come up w/ given the circumstances. nothing to stop someone from giving their ticket to someone else just to get it scanned though. not that hard to beat this.

It's a 5-10 minute drive, followed by hours of waiting outside the arena to make sure we get seats. So we spend at least 4 hours to get into a game, just like your commute. You do not have us beat here. It's just as much of a time investment for students, who have homework to do too.

Lol. No you don't.
You spend 4 hours to get into a game once a year for ku.
You're really going to play the homework card??? JFC.

O.Chem lab is cake when you're actually in the lab. It's all the write up stuff outside lab that sucks. Also...don't do the experiments, find a lab notebook of someone to took the class before you...congrats, you just got an A in organic chem lab. Now you can skip out after an hour every tuesday and get the the GD game.

What kind of lazy POS whines about working 50 hour weeks? GMAFB. :flush:

This post shows your ignorance.
Conference games are at least a few hours in waiting. the ku game is normally more than 12 hours. Don't post if you don't even know wtf you are talking about

depends where you sit, i have lagged in 10 seconds from tip during conference games

True, if you want to sit at the very back or behind the goal where you can't see crap. :users:

Skydog, you're a superfan. I get it and that's great.
Just don't try to tell me that you show up 4 hours before the gates open for Arkansas Pine-Bluff or South Dakota or Cleveland State or Loyola Chicago or Western Illinois or CU on Wednesday night............because you don't. That's a bunch of BS and you know it.
There are a handful of games where that occurs, and these new incentives that Curry has put in place to increase attendance for student tickets already sold isn't going to make a goddamn bit of difference in whether or not you personally are able to sit at mid-court, 1 row up if you want to.
Again, going back to the original point of this thread. This action by the AD is ultimately about addressing the persistent problem with the 1,500 seats +/- in Section 23 and 24 that sit empty for the large majority of the season - the games when you're not lined up outside the stadium pre-game - basically all games that aren't on ESPN Gameday or a Big Monday.
As a diehard, I'd think you'd prefer to have the student section packed every night and that you would be proud of being part of one of the most intimidating homecourt advantages in college basketball. Yes?

Well, of course I would rather see those seats filled. Although at the same time I don't really love the thought of 2k more people who don't know the proper time to boo :curse:
That being said, you talk like the students leisurely stroll in at 5 mins before tipoff and sit in the first row, which is highly highly inaccurate. We may not have to drive 4 hours, but it's not exactly fun sitting out in the cold for hours before the games. (and yeah, no one waits outside for the crapty non-con games)

Out of a 17 game home schedule, there are maybe 4 to 5 games tops where you are lining up outside for more than an hour. ku, Texas, MU, maybe OSU or Xavier.
Regardless, I’m focusing on big picture here. And goal #1 is a packed, intimidating, anger house, every time Frank and the boys take the floor and flaunt their physical aggression across the faces of our opponents. The coaches want it, the players feed off it, and I think they deserve it. Whether that’s boozecats like me and Belvis and Pete and whoever else that’s going to put in a four hour commute to make it happen, or the students that are going to walk across campus or load up a car from the frat, or an old in Wamego or Clay Center that’s gotta gas up the F-150 and drive for 15 minutes, we’re all in this bitch together.
I think we can agree that the ultimate goal should be filling the house every game and making the Octagon the toughest place in America to play a college basketball instead of worrying about whether these newfound Catsketball fans are going to eff up the left right chant or defending the apathetic dickwads that buy the tickets but are too lazy to show up for more than two games a season.
Anything is possible when we put our EMAW minds to it.

So can I count on you to set up a mandatory class to all the newfound fans know what the &@#% is going on during the games.
