Title: $5 walk-up student tickets for the CBE?
Post by: Pett on November 09, 2010, 07:41:17 PM
They showed that on the video screen during the Washburn exhibi. Is that right?. Every student looked to their buddy red faced with tears in their eyes and say no, no way can that be right. Knowing we wasted money buying full priced tickets before that deal was announced.

You sure it wasn't sprint game?  I'd think that would be an unfair advantage for CBE, but not as much for Sprint.

Wouldn't be all that surprised if it was the CBE games.  There may not be many available but at least it would a way to totally fill the place so it looks good on tv...

It was the CBE, ticket sales are lagging a bit, this is a way to get more asses in the seats.

Yeah, I thought that it was a joke at first, too. I, along with many of my friends, have already paid full price for tickets and then they go and offer $5 tickets. Thanks for the advance notice, athletic department.

Nobody said these were leftover student tickets they decided to drop the price on because they couldn't sell them, they're just regular shitty seats that now a bunch of students will be able to pay for because they're cheap if you bring your id.

actually, i got a note handed to me today that said just that...students were being cheap, lazy hayseeds and weren't buying tickets.  it also said that the majority of students were terrible fans and that even @ $5 the CBE organizers had no faith in any students showing up to support the q'@ts

pretty embarrassing for someone like myself who bragged to CBE organizers about how this tourney would sell out with no problem.  good job students, make a joke of us all.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that someone will buy your lower level tickets for the shitty upper level behind basket top 10 row seat you'll get for $5.  BTW it has nothing to do with the AD "giving notice"  I already explained this.

"We" had nothing to do with the ticket price, as explained more than once the promoter of the event made the decision, it is just a way to rack up group sales.

Although it makes no sense to offer the deal to students in Spokane, Milwaukee, and Durham I wouldn't be surprised if the promoters did.  It isn't a K-State thing its a money making thing.

Who cares if somebody else gets a better deal than you do? The people bitching in this thread are just like the dumbass football season ticket holders who bitched last year about Currie offering $99 season tickets as a one time deal. This sounds like a great deal and it's sure to sell out the Sprint Center, something KSU has never even come close to doing.

this won't have any impact at all.   my guess is that most students are waiting for the tickets to hit the sub $3 mark.

True. Maybe they should tell students at KU and Pitt State that they can get in for $5 with their student ID's, too. We'd probably get more of them to show up than our shitty students.

IMO, this reflects poorly on KC as a "college basketball town".  If you live in a "college basketball town" you show up to watch a tournament where 3 of the 4 teams are ranked in the top 13. 

Good luck getting regional finals rounds of the NCAA Tourney you f*cking undeserving losers. :flush:  Enjoy watching Holy Cross play Kentucky followed by UNI vs. Rhode Island in the first round every 4-10 years.

I talked to the Sprint Center box office today and they told me it would be a limited amount in the "end zone" seating areas. They also told me "one ticket per ID and they can't promise that you will get requested seating next to someone."

They sound very sketchy for the students who have already bought tickets. I've also heard the seats in the end zone are terrible for viewing a basketball game.

I went last year (and each of the 4 years before that) and now think I might know what's going on. 

They are trying to create the appearance of a student section for TV.  They did this with Wichita State last year, and to my recollection was the first time I noticed this at the CBE.  I sat right behind them.  The seats are near the tunnel to the locker rooms in the corner iirc.  Maybe 200 students.

Could be wrong, but I do faintly recall this student section mirage.

Just did some fiddling around on ticketmaster, looks like lower level is sold out for the Monday games, best seats were section 227 row 11 (Northwest corner), and those were $25 seats.

They said that they were going to hold 300 tickets for K-State students to do this. You can pick them up at the ticket office at the SC @ anytime with a KSU ID. I'd go early tomorrow and try. That'd be your best bet.
