I got an email from the University Ticket office today informing me that I have slid from number 900 and some down to number 1001 on the season ticket list. They then said that I could move up the list by donating annually to the University, but would not be guaranteed tickets anytime soon.
I am hard headed, and have moved to Nevada (for tax reasons...so I guess I am cheap), and I refuse to buy my way up the list. I guess I will bide my time and maybe if they do another stadium expansion in the next 20 years, will get my season tickets by the time I retire...which may be pretty good timing for me anyway, since if I got the season tickets I would have to move back to Nebraska, at least in the fall for football season.
If they don't do another stadium expansion in the next 20 years, I guess I will have to break down and make the donation and "buy" my way up the list... The tickets are expensive enough, and then it will cost me to actually have to move back to Nebraska for the fall just so I can use the tickets, which won't be cheap either. Then they want me to make an annual donation on top of the cost of the tickets so they can upgrade the luxury boxes?
I think what bothers me the most is that I actually slid down the list...when I was informed a year ago that I was in the low 900's...now all of a sudden I am down to 1001. Once again I am made well aware that the University views these tickets as another way to get money (other than the cost of the tickets themselves) in to the vaults under Memorial Stadium to take care of the people that are in those luxury boxes at the top of Memorial Stadium by upgrading their boxes, while people like me - even if I were to donate, would still be sitting in the parking lot looking to get tickets over face value from the scalpers.
There is something wrong with this system!! :angry:
