So, when does Jon Miller crank up the "No single game ISU/Iowa tickets available" whaaambulance this year? I think I may have to call in to his show and crank it up myself. Won't happen, because last year, that wasn't the point of the discussion on my show. From the outset, I stated that ISU had not had single game tickets available for the Iowa- ISU game since 2001. So your argument on this front, as it was then, is moot.
The discussion, as it related to my show last year, had to do with ISU charging $90 per ticket for the 4,000 allotted tickets.

All 4,000 of them sold, did they not? Then apparently it was a fair price, otherwise they would not have sold. Simple economics....the market sets the price.
So, either Barta does not believe that the ISU/Iowa game at Kinnick will be in as high of demand as the game at JTS, or he's intentionally missing out on $100,000 in profit on sales of the tickets. But I suppose that lost profit can be made up by the payout from the Big 10 Network that is preventing at least half of the Iowa "fans" from seeing their team play. | | |

Why don't they just tow home to the game? Make a big tailgate out of it? Maybe turn the parking lot into a housing community?

I like the fact that Iowa does not look as ISU as a rival but the prices for ISU vs. Iowa tickets are higher then the conference games and the same as the Wisconsin game. Their words say one thing, their actions say another.

There is nothing wrong with using economics to sell football tickets. If 45,000 would pay $1000 bucks for season tickets at ISU. Thats what the price should be. If you can't afford it, so be it.

At this point, you could say that we're a big-time school that boosts their OOC schedule, and standsa as a big revenue-maker. |

Hmmmm, using this logic, Iowa wasn't ISU's rival until about 10 years ago.
Just thought I'd throw that out there | ISU Student - Iowa fan. Best of both worlds. |

Just thought I'd throw that out there  When only talking about football, I would have to agree. A rivalry didn't really exist during the 15 game stretch.
