Student tickets sell out fast
Apparently, students don't care about the weak schedule. Last year, student tickets were still available until about noon on Tuesday. This year, not so.
For this week's Weber State game, the student tickets sold out by 10:30 and the line for the guest passes was hundreds long by quarter to 7, a full hour and fifteen minutes before they went on sale. The most likely reason: tickets are now free for students.
Until we have to start showing up this early just to get a normal student ticket, this system is fine. Showing up before 9 or 10 isn't too terribly difficult.
Student season tickets are a possible alternative. As if the biannual Griz-Cat chaos isn't enough. I don't think we can trust the UM ticket office to divvy out tickets for an entire year worth of Griz football. Based on what? Seniority? Lottery? Camping out for two weeks? It'd be awful.
