Pretty good program.
The only think I worry about is everything going all digital.
I really like the fancy printed tickets.
>a standing room only area.
I'm going to be an old fuddy duddy but I really hate standing room only type setups. Especially higher profile games I get folks swooping in and sitting in my seats and those around me if they think nobody is sitting there... it's a hassle.
I'm not sure this ticketing option is for you then.
I have been hammering on the athletic department for lack of creativity. This is a start. Not sure it is something I would buy, but I like that they are at least trying something. Probably geared toward younger ticket buyers.
Love this program and I will consider switching to it for next season. Well done Gopher Athletics!
Is this being advertised to the general public or just sent to the folks on the mailing list.
It's a step in the right direction, but if they would take away the seating fee with the exception of the prime seats in the stadium, I truly believe you would see tickets move like never before. "Mega Tongue" left his legacy and it has cost the Ath. Dept. big time in all the major sports at the U of M. One would think that the AD would and does see this and make the change. If he did, it would go along way in improving the peoples perception of him.

You do bring up a good point...how much do they cannibalize their existing ST base with a program like this one.
My season pass tickets for the "Standing Room" area for the Loon's games works great. With the Loons, it's just an area (they call it the "Wonder Wall" section) versus a reserved spot. I've just got two tickets on the season pass, so when additional friends want to come to a game, they can buy a single game ticket and join in. If we had reserved seats, they'd have to sit in another section. It works great, sometimes we just have two of us at the game, other times we've had 20.
There are thousands and thousands of seats that don't carry a scholarship donation requirement.
Good idea.
Fun idea to move around.
Glad they are getting creative with this.
Ultimately, if you make the tickets a decent price, it will sell out.
A lot of folks stand in the open end by all the beer/food vendors anyway. I think some people might just like that idea. You could do the same thing up on top on the visitors side if need be and the demand was there.
I always wonder if the athletic department watches threads like these on GH.
As someone who does customer research for a living, they damn well should.
