Tickets on sale 8/22

[Mtowncyclone13]

I am very disappointed in the way this system works.

I had two tickets to the Kansas game and then it made me enter in my ticketmaster account. I put in my normal log-in credentials and it said i didn't have an account. (Yet we've had football tickets for years). By the time I go to log in again it says someone else bought the tickets from me. Apparently you don't get to reserve those seats while logging in.

So now we aren't going to any games this year

Yeah, I made that mistake...once. I remembered to log in before 8 am this time. Was able to get tickets to the four games I wanted. Sorry to hear it! Trust me, you'll remember next time like I did!

The entire ticket master system is a joke, it's like this for a major ticket release events. Sports, concerts, etc.... Their servers somehow can't support the quantity of people trying to buy and it ends of costing you the opportunity to get tickets.

I don't know what the contract is or why it exists but you'd think the athletic office could come up with something on release day to handle the tickets themselves.

Even if you were logged in, no luck.

I had 4 tickets for KU, then it told me "something happened, please try again" then they were gone. Stupid.

Edit: I was logged in too and it did this to me.

I did log in beforehand. Our ticket system is messed up because on my personal account page there was no option to buy men's bball tickets. So I had to back out into the general cyclones.com ticket page. Then it made me log in again and said I didn't have the correct credentials. I'm just a bit upset because the only home games against ranked teams we've missed in 3 years are to Kansas. And look who we've lost to... I'm suggesting ISU needs to get me in there is they want to win!

I'm seeing more and more of these posts. I must have really lucked out.

Probably it's best to go to ticketing office in Ames. That's the best way to score tix because they pre-print tickets to customers who comes. That's how it used to be at least.

I was glad I even managed to snag two tickets to the TCU game.

Did this to me as well.


They need to fix their system. If a person selects the tickets, they should be allowed a couple minutes to enter info.


VERY UPSET

I am with you 100%.

They will never fix it because all the games are sold out. They did their job and ISU gets butts in the seats. What motivation is there to fix it?

happened to me too. sucks. i ended up with arkansas tickets so i got half of the games i wanted

I had a similar experience. Ticks me off... because I can go to stub hub and see (for every home game) 100+ tickets in the upper section going for 4-5x face value. Turns out we're only going to the Arkansas game...

Sad but true. I know I know someone could tell me to pony up and buy season tix, but with living out of town and two little ones at home, that's just not practical.

Probably going to have to start buying season tickets and selling the ones you cant make if you want to guarantee yourself a face value seat at select games, Especially with Fred talking about dropping National Championship banners

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

Why doesn't ISU allow Cyclone Club members to purchase tickets beforehand?

How many of us donate to ISU yet receive no benefit from it?


edit - the only tickets we got were for OSU. Didn't realize the students were on break then so the atmosphere is going to suck.

Except ISU is totally geared towards corporate seats now, just like the pro sports. If you're not a corporate donor (ag company!) you're SOL.

I think I got tickets to Arkansas and Oklahoma State. I'm not sure because I don't see any of the orders listed under my Ticketmaster account and I've only received a confirmation email for the Arkansas game.

This system of getting tickets is messed up.


**Update**

So despite completing two transactions and getting 1 confirmation order, neither order appeared to go through and I don't have any tickets. **** you Ticketmaster. **** you up your stupid ***.

This system of getting tickets is messed up.

The worst part is your personal "ticketmaster account page" isn't set up like the ticket page on cyclones.com and there is no rhyme or reason to it. It should be set up just like the cyclones.com ticket page where you can select any tickets for any sports and just buy them on the spot. It makes no sense to look for tickets on one page and then buy them on a completely separate unrelated page. That's where everyone gets messed up based on responses in this thread.

Well no wonder you didn't get tickets, you were exactly 2 months late.
