[Husker] Poor Ticket Sales

[Tony Lambert]

My wife and I went to the last Big 12 women's BBall tournament in KC. We had 
much better seats by getting the tickets through Ticketmaster than in the 
nose bleed sections that where the university's block seats. I'm sure glad 
we we did the way the way we did, plus we made some friends from Ames.

I like what Northern Illinois is doing, they're going to give any of
their students who can get to Miami a free ticket to their Orange Bowl
game.

The policy that says the schools have to take a huge block of tickets,
almost always among the worse seats in the stadium, is certainly part of
that problem.  You can find far better tickets to most of the bowl games
online, for about the same price, sometimes lower.
