and it will eventually, but first bugs must be worked out

and seniority will be rewarded for the senior game, but people can't be so rash as to expect special treatment for the highest demanded ticket of the year...

Exactly dude. Most demanded ticket of the year and n00bs who've never gone to a football game get the same opportunity as hardcore football fans just so they can socialize with their friends?

it's always been that way

and sorry if that bothers you for this year...but complaining isn't going to change it since tickets are already given out

I said it'll change next year...geez

and everyone has equal entitlement to games, that's another reason we didn't start it this year. Quite frankly, for very simple legal reasons, we can't just give certain people priorities like that. The school isn't comfortable with that yet, but they will have things in place next year so it's possible. No one here pays a few to cover tickets, so be thankful for what you get

hell, half the people don't know how to use the system as is so there's not really a need to have anything implemented at this time. If you rewarded loyalty, then I'm sure some people would moan and groan that their ticket didn't get scanned at a game so they'd be pissed. And this appeal stuff is a load of horse crap, cause anyone can just whine and say their ticket didn't get scanned when in fact they didn't even go. I'm not sure how strict the appeals process is though. The only way I see to prevent that is to collect one of the barcodes: either the one on the right side of the ticket or the big one on the page by itself. If there's a problem, the person with the scanner can cut out the barcode and keep it.

Comment -- you should not be aloud to cancel your ticket if it is past the time before you get a penalty. It is misleading and pointless to cancel your ticket after that time. Allowing this ensures the person gets the penalty and that the ticket can not be given to someone else.

I went to cancel my ticket on Friday and since it let me I didn't think I was going to get a penalty. If I knew I was past the time I would have found someone to give it to. This is also something that will end a lot of arguments over whether people cancelled their tickets in time.

k, we'll change that before friday so it won't let you cancel after noon
might extend on-demand until tickets are given out (which isn't likely that they will last past noon)

yeah yeah, so it should be allowed and not aloud -- that is what I get for doing more than one thing at once. I can always trust this message board to correct anything I type. Maybe I should start posting research papers so I can get looked over for free.

okay, so how many tickets are available now for lottery #2 and how many people are left eligible for this lottery? What time does it start as well. For those of us who are die hards and don't have a ticket I am sure we all are praying tonight!!!!!!

You'll have to excuse us. As seniors, "next year" does absolutely nothing for us.

Here's hoping for on-demand. So I'm a senior this year but am in a 5 year program so will I have even better odds than seniors next year? lol (seriously, will I?)

I really want to go to this game, crossin' my fingers for on-demand.

My thousands upon thousands of dollars payed every semester ought to cover more then just my football ticket. Speaking of getting raped by billing, just exactly what does SG do that's worth a damn?

Well, they used to just steal tickets, but that's all been fixed now that they have automated systems that work questionably.

Not like you can even tell whether you're in a large or small group because the counter is still broken.

SOmehow the fucking system FUCKED UP ROYALLY on this one.

Of the 50 some odd people I have asked, not ONE person won a ticket. NOT ONE. The odd's of that are fucking staggering.

How in the fuck is it that NONE of the 30+ of those who went to BOTH games won a single damn ticket?

This is fucking stupid.

whine whine whine. bitch bitch bitch.

Lottery is a lottery, sometimes you win, sometimes you don't. If you really wanna get worked up complain that we have a small percentage of student tickets and a good percentage of us end up standing on a 45 degree angle hill but go anyways because we are still fans.

Also, where in the hell does it say you have a right to go to games? Hell its a recreational event like every other event on campus but I don't see half of you at those! Time to get over and deal. A caveman could work this system.

I seriously agree with this because what the fuck EVERY SINGLE person I know who signed up for a single seat did NOT win. Every single person in a block did. Now how the FUCK is that fair? this on demand might as well not happen cause if i havent won in 2 lotteries im not going to win it either SHIT

is it possible to get some statistics?

like how many people requested

how many people claimed

how many tickets were left over

how many people won in the second lottery

etc, etc



at least with the old system someone would say they got voucher number 5555 at 5:30pm and we could all say--well, there were about 6000 vouchers given out and only about half of those are gonna win





also, concerning the way groups work: if the group leader wins that means everybody in the group automatically wins? or can you be in a group where the group leader wins but you don't win?

if everyone in the group automatically wins, then it's not really as random as it could be since instead of 100 people in a lottery you have say 5 people representing 19 people each. So when those 5 group leaders are put into a lottery with people who requested single tickets and a group leader wins, he doesn't win 1 ticket but actually a total of 20 tickets?

is that the way it works?

those 5 people representing groups are not in the same allotment lottery as those w/ single ticket requests

60% of tickets go to single ticket requests and small groups, and 40% go to large group requests

Throughout the last few pages I've noticed one glaring thing:
