So you got the $99 season ticket package for corner balcony seats???
If so, you can buy CA membership and sit in CA. You just need to show your CA shirt to get down there. You also get tickets for the Texas game but you will have to sit in your designate seats.... (My parents will get season tickets as well so we could still meet up there for the game!..... Just not in CA
)Would you rather have a very empty student section or a full section that includes both students (the same ones who would've come back for the game if the ticket was there) as well as other fans who bought a ticket for that game?
Personally, i think that it would look better and sound better to have that section full of fans rather than a gapping hole up the end of the arena.
There have been many conference games played over winter break over the years. This is nothing new.
Who's to say that students wouldn't come out for this game? We've already had multiple students say that they were coming back for this game until they heard this. Unless you can predict the future I disagree with you.
It's stupid not to do. There would only be a handful that would show and the rest would be at home sucking mom's teet....fact.
How hard is it to come up with a few bucks to go to the freakin game if you want to? Seriously...ridiculous thing to gripe about.
I'll be a junior and don't think I'm entitled to everything. However I am entitled for SEASON TICKETS for a whole SEASON. I know it's always been this way, but it should be good for conference games at least. I would think with the excitement of the season, especially selling out tickets at the end of July there would be a ton of students at the game.
Ya because so many general admission fans use those seats during winter break. I'd come back early as a student to see Texas. Fact.

I could see a point in making an exception this year.
At the same time, this package has always been a good deal for families over break.
A solid compromise would be the early one. Sell the break packs, and let the students come to this one. They won't all be back.
It probably works, unless the demand is off the charts. That is very possible.

You sure seem to be gripping a lot about those gripping about the ticket situation.
Here's the issue. Cyclonefanatic is full of a small % of cyclone fans. You are very passionate about the sport (which is great).
But you have to admit that there are fans that are not as passionate about the sport as you. Even those who have tickets. The game falls during a time where maybe students come back early maybe they won't. This is exactly why they do it like they do. Why not have the students who are able/willing to come back to that game buy inexpensive tickets for the game. Then they can also try to fill out the arena with other fans to keep it full.
I personally would rather have it like that than have the possibility that it will look like we were playing Po-dunk state on a thursday night while school is in session.
Maybe they could do something to the tune of students get in free for the Texas game. Just show your student id and your in. They leave one side of CA open for those students that come and the other side can be GA.
Even students in for $5 would work. If it starts to over flow then they cut off the students and make them buy GA tickets.

Again, I'm nearly positive the KU game was over break back in the 02-03 season and student tickets included that game. However, that's back when KU and Iowa were done by lottery...

I understand that CF is a very small %. I still dont think we'd have a gaping hole like you think if we gave students tickets to this game. I think you would be surprised how many students would be there. With all the hype for this season and more student involvement (ie student tickets sold out as soon as they did) there would still be a good number of students there. Besides we fill those seats up with a bunch of geezers who wont get off their feet or glare at you or ***** at you when you stand up and cheer. I'd rather have the students.

You might have kicked off our first "complain about Cyclone Alley" thread of the season. :wink:
Were the games included in the student season ticket packaged listed, or was it stated that break games would not be included in the student season ticket package?
If not, strip naked and storm the AD.
