Thank you, I was just going to say the same thing. Yes, the students that frequent this website will go to the game because we are die hard fans. But the 75% of the other students that go to those games will not go, and the lower bowl will look like a COMPLETE joke for the TV station that covers the game. I am actually glad they are doing this so we do not get humiliated.
No...it would be like buying EXACTLY what is advertised since it clearly says the games are not included.

I'm not surprised by this at all either. It does suck that the Texas game isn't included, but that's more bad luck than anything else.
Still, it would be cool if they started giving students the option of getting holiday break tickets. Myself and several other friends who live in Central IA usually try to make the holiday break games whenever possible.
Either way, I'll be at the Texas game - wouldn't miss it.
You are an embarrassment. You got exactly what was advertised in plain ENGLISH and yet you have to endlessly **** and moan and badmouth the AD. Then you take it further by throwing a little tantrum on twitter. Nice.
I take back my offer to buy you a ticket to this game and hope you will grow up and act like an adult instead.
I'm going to try this one more time....
THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO ATTEND THE GAME. THERE IS NO REASON TO COMPLAIN.
All they have to do is purchase a ticket. Simple isn't it?
I meant inclusive with the season ticket package.
I'm not complaining; it's just an idea. Like I said, I still try to make as many holiday break games as possible. I've bought cheap tickets for each game with no problems, and I'll be doing it again this year
Then there is no student section which decreases our chances of up setting Texas. That's the problem with all of this.
Would it be that big of a deal if they had one end of the arena blocked off for a student/CA section? I know it has always been this way, and we (as students) should already know this, but what's the big deal? Not starting to pick a fight or anything.
I can see it now: Due to popular demand, the ISU athletic department will start adding on break games to the student season ticket, with a small rise in cost. Some fools will then log on to CF and complain that they are paying for a game they can't see because they are currently out of Ames and can't afford the gas money. These people will demand a fuel voucher to offset the expense of travel. Then they will be angry that they drove back to Ames to watch ISU beat on Baylor.
Or you make it easy, make it an option on the tickets! $125 for the package now, $150 for full season tickets. What a brilliant solution! I can't believe I thought of it!
It can be done. They did it last year with the football tickets and the KC game.
How about the kids put down the Busch Light for one weekend, save the money, and buy a single game ticket. What a brilliant solution! I can't believe I thought of it!
It can be done. They do it before finals.
Well aren't you just brilliant? I'm sure you'd fix the college students average debt by telling them to quit having social lives and work all the time to pay them off. Both social living and sports are a part of the college experience.
And buying a ticket to sit surrounded by old people who get pissy when you yell sucks. Some of the old people need to realize they aren't in a funeral home and noise is perfectly appropriate.
