Look at the football game that is the weekend before thanksgiving... pretty thinned out crowd every year if you ask me.
The AD is here to make money, no matter what the fans (especially students) think should be done.
No student tickets for the MBB Texas game

Do the regular season ticket holders for break\pre-conference games?
Nope, they dont. And its dramatically easier for them to sell their tickets too (cant sell CA tickets without giving someone your shirt too).
Appears to me people forgot to take into account there would 18 conference games this year, and to do it, you need to start the conference season earlier than in past years.
Shh, Don't promote common sense here. People NEED to complain about the AD not doing what they WANT!
Exactly. Without the need to complain, people might try to be content and happy instead. CAN'T HAVE THAT!!!!!!!!!
It's seems to me like it would be the AD's fault to not take that into account, not the students but keep thinking that.
Maybe there can be one end reserved for students, one for sell to general public during break:smile: They have reserved a few sections for students to come back for games in the past...
And you would be wrong. Running the athletic department is the job of the AD, not holding the hands of crybaby students that have nothing better to do than whine.
Wrong.
This ^.
The AD is about making money, reserving these seats for students that probably wouldnt show up for the most part is not a smart money move. Make the most bang for you buck.
Or the people that post stuff like above. Your complaining is hypocritical and funny at the same time.
I forgot, are you a better poster then others?
When have break games ever been included? Conferences or Non-Conference? I'll await your answer

I waited until page 5 before ripping into the whiner crowd.
When I was a student at ISU, in the long, long ago, the student tickets did NOT include the break games.
If this game was against anybody but KU or Texas, nobody would have said a word.
I forgot, they really fill the place up when the students are gone
. At least give the students the option to buy the god damn ticket. How hard is that?
When I was a student, the first couple years, there were LOTTERIES for certain games. People should count themselves lucky (or not, depending on how you look at it) that it isn't this way.

They do have an option, if they want to come, come buy a ticket at the ticket office. It's not that hard to get up close if your a student, the hilton people have always let us go down and sit up front during break games.
How hard is that?
Yes, for meaningless non-conference games. This game WILL sell-out, students or not. And the people who do fill those seats will make a lot of noise, because they were making Hilton Magic when you were in diapers.
Does any other big 12 school have this policy with their student tickets? Ive looked through a few sites, and though most of them are pretty poorly organized so its hard to find bball student ticket info, i dont see any that have something like this. I do see more that have something like pickup dates for various groups of tickets, after which point those tickets will be sold. That would make more sense. Include the break games, and if they dont come and get break game tickets during the pickup period, they go on sale.
Yeah, let's GIVE away seats people are willing to PAY for.
I was a student once. If there was a game over break I wanted to see, I bought a ticket and I didn't complain about it because I KNEW it going in.
