Yeah except they are trying to capitalize on their success in the men's program and parlay that with lesser-attended sports.
I'll take "duty to read" for 500 Alex.
Old Fans Holding near $1,000 worth of season tickets? everyone in the first 10 rows
Old Fans Donating to have the right to buy seats? Many
Old Fans paying as much or more than the students for tickets? All Of them
Life sucks some times you get inconvenienced. Welcome to the big-time.
There are other ways to accomplish this. And I'm not sure how this turned into a dick measuring contest of how much people donate or spend... or why that matters anyway.
When pro teams make the playoffs they dont make you go to a minor league game to get tickets
They do make you pay for preseason games, though.
That line was huge to get in. I had a backpack. Was told I can't bring it in so I drop it off in my car. Wait in line again without the backpack and suddenly they are letting them in. I was not happy.
I think the donations and spending were just a logical reply to your "old fans" attempt at a MasterCard commercial.
The minor league pro teams aren't usually owned by the major league pro teams - just usually associated with them.

Actually when pro teams make the playoffs, they generally try to capitalize on it after offering tickets to their STHs, they will sell postseason tickets to non-STHs with the purchase of buying a ticket package for the following year.

Yeah generally teams that sell out all the NFL games, make you pay for two worthless exhibition games at regular season prices, so compared to that, this is a great deal!
Its an analogy. Like buying the 10 game pack with the Red wings then after the fact they decide you cant go to the Red wing game unless you go to another game of their chosing
apples, oranges. do they sell more 10 game pack tickets where your seat isn't guaranteed?
Had?
I've met slider and like him, but this "outrage" over the women's game thing is bull****.
BTW my extra seats (4together) for KU still havent sold at a 30% discount from stub hub to the awesome CU fan contingent.

Orioles do Opening Day packages as well, that's the way I got those tickets a few years ago. I had to buy tickets to 5 games in April/May, and here's the killer, they couldn't include the Red Sox/Yankees since those are "prime games." This practice is pretty normal, contrary to some what think.
Except you know about that policy prior to buying your tickets. BTW I'm not "outraged" I just think it's a stupid idea.

You countered with pro teams making you buy minor league tickets. While that kind of thing doesn't happen because they are usually under different ownership and it's a proximity issue. Making you do more to get a marquee ticket is nothing new. And students had a week plus. They should've given more notice, OK... but nothing was going to change. As someone pointed out if they had announced this 3 months ago, nothing really would've changed. Would someone had rearranged their class schedule so they wouldn't have an exam tonight... probably not!

What's your suggestion? Sorry if I missed it.
Getting ugly
What happened?

The actual distribution of the tickets has become a failure. Restless students chanting "bulls***" at the assistant AD. #SMH

CU AD... doing what they do best.
Not since some douchebag tried to organize a "blue out" have I seen such punk ass bitchiness from CU students.
It's a terrible look, that's for sure.
