[Husker] Lack of Interest, Season Tickets & Donations

[Dick Karre]

Given that the ticket office still has season tickets for sale, I have to 
wonder whether this is the year that the last of NU's streaks - sold-out 
games - finally ends.

I also haven't seen a ticket "wanted" or "for sale" request since June and 
usually those start to increase as we get closer to the first game. Maybe 
tickets are getting easy to buy. On this subject I was talking to someone 
the other day who lamented the fact that they would like to have season 
tickets. I told them to call the ticket office and donate $300 and then buy 
some tickets. They looked at me with great surprise and said "you can do 
that?" I told them yes you can call them and see what happens, they worst 
they can say is sorry we don't have any. Well two days later this person 
called me and said I can't believe they still have tickets! They called (the 
ticket office) made a donation ($300) and were "rewarded" with a pair of 
season tickets. This is just three weeks before the season starts so one 
wonders if some of the interest could be fading?
