Until I see a specific guarantee in writing somewhere about priority with respect to place in line, there really is nothing anyone can do about it. It sucks that they led you to believe something based on past results, but as far as I can tell, it was never officially guaranteed. I know that's a BS technicality, but I guess students might just have to console themselves with a great time with friends camping out.

I liken it to tu trying to claim the big XII championship in 2008. They agreed to the rules that included the BCS ranking tiebreaker at the beginning of the year, but they wanted some kind of exception. Current students with sports passes have made an agreement with the athletic department that guarantees them a vague "best available" ticket. This allows the athletic department to give any student just about any ticket they want with no legal problems.

In the end, it sucks, but I just think current students are going to get the raw end of this deal. Maybe someone can change this for future years.

Also what she said is fishy because I talking with someone that used to work in the zone they are allowed to pull tickets beforehand to the games, or atleast they would pull the tickets before the windows opened.

First question I asked is if employees of the ticket office are given the right to pull tickets ahead of time. I was informed that they CANNOT PULL TICKETS EARLY

I didn't see it wit my own eyes BUT I heard multiple people say that they saw tickets sitting in the booth when they pulled.

It'll be interesting to see who has the first 11 rows.

I just want to know why they would change the way tickets are pulled JUST for this game. I expected the first few rows to be taken and nobody to get first row, but why change the system just for this pull? Makes no sense.

I was confident I saw the girl pulling tickets through the blinds in my line as well, but not 100%. I didn't want to initially post that because I want to keep the facts separated from rumors.

I wonder if the student workers are allowed to hold on to really good tickets, and give them out to the people that yell the most. Maybe yall should try that? For the Kansas game, show up reaaallllll early, maybe camp out the night before, and when the student workers are inside but the blinds are still closed, just start screaming at the top of your lungs until they open the windows, then continue screaming until you get the best possible seats on the student side.

The workers aren't allowed to pull early line is BS. No one is there watching them. Even if they aren't allowed to that doesn't mean they don't do it. Were windows opened at 7 on the dot or more like 7:01?

Here's the real question. If it was you working at the window would you think about doing it? Everyone would at least think about it even if they didn't do it and there are a lot of windows...

How long do you want to ignore this user?
People that claim to have seen them pulling tickets through the blinds saw it before 7. I think I saw it as well, but can't 100% confirm and don't want to spread rumors.

The workers did arrive around 6:25 and previously I've never seen them arrive before 6:45. Someone can correct me if they have seen otherwise.

If I was a ticket worker I'd do it. Sell those babies on stubhub ftw.

Posted to other complaint thread...

Bottom Line:

Ticket office should state policy clearly.
Policy should have reasonable ticket limit per student worker participating in early ticket pull.

The two items above will limit confusion and set appropriate expectations for those who camp every week.

My son camped out all weekend & gets 2nd deck - my daughter walks up later in the day & gets first deck - What Gives? Something is not right!

Because 2nd deck is better than 1st. Talk about rookie troll fail

You usually get to pick decks. First deck is the worst of the three.

I pulled 5th in line at window 6, and got 1st deck, just like I always do... and got 50 yard line, first row behind the band. Sat in the same seats for the baylor game, and loved it. No problem seeing over the band.

Everyone that sits with us loves the seats that we always get.I prefer 1st deck in the middle of the field over 2nd deck any day of the week. I like being so close to the field.

Sorry for asking nnichols. At most sporting events the closer to the action the better.

An old roommate of mine was a ticket worker. For the first game of the 2008 season we (my other roommate and I) pulled with him. We had to give him our sportpasses to pull with him because he said they pull early. We were second deck row 2, 45 yard line. I'm pretty sure they pull early.

Shouldn't be too hard to find out who is in those seats on game day. Let us know.
PrestigeWorldwide11
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I feel like something will go down on that day. Finding out who took the tickets will be interesting.

Another thing to think about is what if they sold all the tickets to people on stub hub and you were yelling at alumni who bought tickets. That would be funny because they wouldn't know what was going on and we all got screwed (unless they were on texags).

So you guys think that the student workers shouldn't be able to pull tickets first at all?

You get benefits from the place that you work. It's a pretty common practice people.... You work at McDonalds, you get free food. You work for Hertz, you get discounts on car rentals. You work for the Ticket office... well.... you get the picture.

Those situations aren't the same thing at all, but hey, nice try.

I would think camping out for two days gives you are more of a right to them than the workers... they are getting paid anyway

You obviously don't get it. Read the effing thread.

Ticket workers getting to pull first would not be a problem if the Ticket Office would admit that it happens and explain the process. The Ticket Office has said that it is against policy for the student workers to pull before the other students.

Also, this is the first game all year that this has happened. What gives? Are you gonna try to tell me that student workers didn't pull before everyone for the other games but there was some kind of exception with this pull?

These are the problems. Ticket pull has been the same process for all previous home games this year. Now, for the most anticipated game of the year, the process changes and whatever has changed was a spit in the face of all of the redass Ags that sacrificed their time to camp out for days.

For the record, I am a Former Student and season ticket holder and think this is screwed up. The students deserve an explanation.

edit for grammar

Has ANYBODY claimed to have seats in the first 11 rows?!

It's odd that nobody has come on here and bragged about it yet.

If someone came on here and bragged, they would end up with a lynch mob outside within 10 minutes.
