Seems like a pretty good strategy to improve attendance and add some additional revenue.  Has K-State sold out a game yet this season?

How does offering free tickets add additional revenue?*  KSU has sold out multiple games this season.

Fans typically buy drinks, food, etc, once they're inside the stadium, which adds additional revenue.

You could just add 10,000 to the number of people who actually attend in order to improve attendance.  

I guess if you want to sell more bottles of diet coke, giving away tickets again can't hurt.

The big question is how many people will take advantage of the free tickets that would have bought them otherwise, hence costing the department revenue.

So odds on a 22 yr old, dashingly handsome K-State student getting a ticket to the game next week for <20 bones?

<20 may be hard to find. Tickets are $80 on KU's ticket office, which is rough ridin' insane. Hopefully scalpers will have them by the thousands.

They are relying on K-Staters to make up for all the free tickets they give away to all of the other games.

back in the early mangino days i once went to the kstate game in lawrence w/ a bunch of friends and we all got tickets for ten dollars right outside of the stadium. one of my friends kept trying to haggle down from ten and only pay seven. it was infuriating. i finally just took his seven dollars added three, bought him a ten dollar ticket and then we all went inside. moral of the story-yes, you'll be able to get a ticket for 20 or less. just don't wear purple while outside of the stadium trying to get a ticket. it might not make a diferrence but you never know.

These bastards on craigslist are asking for 80 dollars for GA.  Thinking about shooting them an offer for 15 and seeing if it sticks.

They would be stealing from you for 15 bucks.

Start making calls around 11:00pm sat night. May get some takers.  If not, the night before, prices will drop

Heck, they were scalping tickets to non-con games for $5 back during the glory days.

If you're going with a decent-sized group, 10+, don't worry about getting everyone a ticket.  Just go to the gate that has the most incompetent-looking worker and kind of barge in all at once.

Do this (if you want to get arrested for trespassing and spend a night in jail).

Would be nice to be one of those parachute dudes, imo.

Dude, have some self respect.  Seriously, is that not incredibly embarrassing that the program has devolved so rapidly and drastically that the University has to give away thousands of free tickets to CONFERENCE games?  

Do legitimate BCS programs do this?

OK, I can only vouch for it working with like 15 people and 12 tickets.  No jail.  There may be jailtime if you do it with 10 and 8.

They should go 100% free for maximum attendance and stadium revenue.

Serious question, does KU actually run its concession stands or is it contracted to a vendor.

Are you saying we should all get jobs with the vendor to get into the game? I like that idea.
