They AD has been reminding returning students about getting their season tickets since April, and there's a season ticket "stand" in Beardshear every summer for incoming freshman to learn about, and buy, season tickets while they're there getting their
ISU card and whatever else it is that's set up there for orientation.
Good points. but as for the money thing, i can't answer that, unless maybe some students buy their books first and see how much money they have left over??? or maybe they are just plain lazy and don't think about this type of stuff until they get back into ames. Not all of my friends are hardcore fans and think about this stuff a lot during the summer, its more of an impulse buy when they get to campus.
And, I wasn't aware of the tickets stand in Beardshear, i haven't been in there for a few years, let alone during the summer.
