$5 walk-up student tickets for the CBE?
« 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.

just another jab at our shitty student support.   good job guys, i hope eventually you start hearing the message that the rest of our fanbase has been sending your dumbasses. 

$5 too much?  i bet it is you lazy hayseeds.

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.

How are we getting student prices for an event that we don't run?

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.

Hey old dudes, I'll sell you my student ID for 40 bucks so you old dudes can cheat the system and buy five dollar tix.  PM if interested.

Completely false, do you not know how to use the Ticketmaster site or did you just make that up.

"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.

eff guys this isn't hard to understand

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.

You're right. Single tickets still available. Couldn't get 2 together though.

Call the Sprint Center box office if you're looking for pairs.
