It's also possible that they gave the sum of the priorities to groups, rather than just the leader's priority, i.e. a group with 5 seniors gets 25 lottery tickets and if any one wins then they get 5 tickets. That would certainly explain why there's a bias toward bigger groups. Either way, their system is fucked, but people are already printing tickets, and I doubt they have any way to fix it for this game.

8/28/2009 11:04:02 AM

this is what we get for that abomination white-out idea.

if we were to put a group together for the next game(s), they'd fuk it up so there's a bias against groups

nc state shit....

8/28/2009 11:07:09 AM

Senior.... no ticket

So all these freshmen and soph nerds get to mooch in on a group to get tickets but I don't??? pffff

8/28/2009 11:10:58 AM

sounds like people here don't have friends with which to form a group, thats what it sounds like to me

thats what the internet is for

Individually, you are weak and feeble

But when your powers combine...

WELL THIS IS SOME NC STATE SHIT.

screwed by the SWC, an now screwed by this fucked up allotment/lack of using the priority points shit.



my birthday is next week. i will love you forever if i get an extra ticket (or two, because my boyfriends is ON Sept 3)

8/28/2009 11:13:03 AM

hey, mine is on sept 3rd too, oh yeah i'm your bf, wait no i'm not.

8/28/2009 11:15:23 AM

Does anyone have an extra student ticket for the USC/NCSU game?


so what is the consensus we're stealing shit from drunk folks ?


PRETTY PLEASE TICKET :x

8/28/2009 11:17:02 AM

my brother will probably be passed out in the parking lot by 6

If so, I'll make a post with a meeting spot first come, first serve

8/28/2009 11:24:22 AM

I've NEVER failed to get a ticket doing them individually

So... I'm thinking since a lot of people obviously got screwed, this 2nd request phase there will still be some tickets. Question is, should we make a group this time? I guess so

8/28/2009 11:24:46 AM

Got two tickets. Thank you current student friends that don't care about football

8/28/2009 11:24:46 AM

yeah, at first I was like but now i'm like

hopefully the second phase will still have plenty of tickets.

8/28/2009 11:27:45 AM

Just wait until the exact time that the tickets go On Demand and claim a ticket..with emails not being sent out to remind people to claim their tickets, if you're quick, you can probably snag one.


I used this approach for the Carolina basketball games instead of camping out (cause that shit sucks) and it worked every time.

8/28/2009 11:34:10 AM

don't worry. its always easy to get tickets after the first few games.

8/28/2009 11:37:21 AM

lol lemme know slave. I'll run my happy ass down the hill and grab it from him as soon as you say the word.

8/28/2009 11:40:15 AM

^^Okay, but we want tickets for THIS game.

8/28/2009 12:27:23 PM

I didn't sign up with a group because I was under the impression that seating was done the same way as it was last year... you show up and they give you a section based on when you show up. I generally go with 5-10 people and that's what we did all last year, sign up as individuals, show up at the gate 30-45 minutes before the game and get pretty good seats. I got a ticket to every game that way. I know with Basketball they do assigned seating so I was signing up with a group then, but I didn't think it was spilling over to football.

Either way, ANGER!

8/28/2009 12:41:36 PM

it's still done that way, if your group doesn't go in at the same time, you're going to sit in different places... I honestly don't see the point.

8/28/2009 12:51:16 PM

I also am a super senior (and graduating this Dec.) and did not get a ticket like I did for every single game last year because I signed up individually. Post on here if you guys do want to try for a group next time. I would be in if it increases my chances.

8/28/2009 12:53:18 PM

to the technician!

8/28/2009 1:01:02 PM

wow, i graduated on time it looks like. This must be a big issue. I always hated the group aspect of it.

8/28/2009 2:01:29 PM

They should just do away with groups for football bc it is all general admission.

8/28/2009 3:23:49 PM

this is bullshit

never missed a game requesting them individually until now

8/28/2009 3:40:33 PM

I bet what they did is programmed it wrong, like having the individual's loyalty points in a group add up togehter. So a group of say 4 s/ss/grad and 3 juniors would have a loyalty score of 32. Therefore even a group of 3 freshman or a group of 2 sophmores (6 points) will beat out any individual.

8/28/2009 5:20:59 PM

individual request

DENIED

8/28/2009 5:53:58 PM

i finally found one person today that had got a ticket, without doing the group thing

8/28/2009 5:59:32 PM

What a load of shit.

8/28/2009 6:00:19 PM

Well, this really sucks. I'm just glad I had a backup ticket for this game. I will definitely be signing up in a group from now on.

8/28/2009 6:04:56 PM

Why did so many people sign up individually? No friends? Its not really block seating since everyone is GA.....

8/28/2009 6:37:35 PM

It wasn't letting me do block setting when I try to. So I just did an individual.

8/28/2009 6:38:15 PM

well up until this fiasco there really wasn't a point to join a group. with seating beaing GA you can just get tickets on your own and then arrive with whoever you want to sit with.

umm way to answer your own question.

8/28/2009 9:54:04 PM

Signing up individually makes just as much (if not more) sense than signing up in a group.

For example, let's say there are seven people in a group, who all sign up individually, and five are selected in the lottery. From there, it's typically easy to find two more tickets. Not only that, but you still get to sit together as long as you go in gate at the same time.

If you sign up in the group, and the group isn't selected, finding seven tickets isn't so easy.

So, it makes a ton sense to sign up individually, unless, of course, the system is flawed.

did more than one person on here GET a ticket?

I got one as did the 54 other people in my group. But just so you know some of them are dumbasses and probably won't claim as will with every group so be ready! Even though there is no point to group seating, it is great to have a group leader who always gets tickets. Yes whenever you arrive is where you sit and trust me thats a damn issue in itself. We TRY to get there late to get 14 15 and they still try to throw us in the end zone. NEVER!

8/29/2009 2:34:37 AM

^read what people have been saying. we know if you were under a group leader you got tickets, that isnt what we are questioning.

8/29/2009 8:14:51 AM

What should happen is that they sort the tickets before the lottery. X number for groups and Y numbers for individuals. This time they just didn't give any to individuals.

8/29/2009 8:23:03 AM

You would think super seniors would know how to game the system.

8/29/2009 12:04:20 PM

Yeah because they keep the system exactly the same every year

this is part of the problem. why in the fuck do you have a group of 54?

8/29/2009 2:45:02 PM

see back in my day there was no registration, no waitlist bulshit. You lined up at Reynolds and waited. For the good games sometimes all weekend you waited. We would work in 2 person shifts holding the place in line all weekend long.

I always sat court side for B-ball and always had great tickets for football

There was no point system to determine if you were a fan or not. They determined that on how early you would line up and wait

8/29/2009 2:51:57 PM

1 student ticket wanted please

i thought that was how it was supposed to be... from the ticket policy:

Quote :

"Students who request Group Seating acknowledge that their chances of winning in the event of lottery are now dependent on selection of their Group Leader in the lottery process. Large Group Leaders, Small Group Leaders and individual students will be treated as equals for lottery selection purposes. • Small Groups will be included in General Distribution Seating. Selection of a Small Group Leader in Lottery 1 will result in seating awards for all group members. i. Sort 1, All Events of the Season: 1. Matches each Group Leader with the students who have requested to be seated with that Group Leader, plus guests; a group total is assigned to each group-seating request. a. Random selection of Large Group Leaders, up to a maximum of 40%, drawn from the Block Seating sub allotment. b. b. Random selection of Small Group Leaders and individual students, up to a maximum of 60%, drawn from the General Distribution sub allotment, plus any tickets leftover from the Block Seating sub allotment.

uh because we all tailgate together, probably end up having about 70 of us together. Ever since freshman year we have had groups of 40 plus. I have gotten a ticket to every game since I have been here. Basketball and football. The last NC State football game I wasn't at was when I was in HS. Why is that a problem? Large group up to 100 people.

8/29/2009 5:37:46 PM

if someone with one of those 54 tickets will get a student parking pass for me i'll pass them a little $. i didn't get a student ticket (tried) and i really want to be closer to the stadium.

thanks

Does it make any sense to stay up until 3 AM for Claim 2 period to start? Or are does it not matter as long as you claim it before the period is over (by 11:59)

that is IF I have one to claim this time
