I'm very thankful for them. I was going to drive to Aggieland to watch the game in the flag room at the MSC.

I couldn't stay home for this.


Yeah me too. Even without a ticket I'm still going to my friends tailgate for the day and worst case watch it on campus. The smell of fried turkey, the cool weather, the hype on campus for the sip game, I won't miss it this year even with no ticket... Maybe I'll see if anyone is looking to offload by the 2nd quarter or even halftime.

They kept brining in people to cut to do the 9 per ID rule to avoid as many as possible as 3rd deck. Everyone was yelling and calling them out but ticket office didn't do anything.

It's not except you wouldn't have a physical card to give to a buddy to use on weeks you would be out of town.

So, let me try to understand. A FLO participated in group pull and converted all of their tickets to guest passes, so they could be sold? Am I thinking about this correctly?

Surely, they weren't letting a freshman org participate in group pull and buy up guest passes.

My daughter's group is still in line trying to pull their tickets and are hearing that they may be down to standing room only left.

Anyone hearing the same?

I understand the tradition, thrill, and dedication of camping out for ticket pulls, but it has gotten extremely chaotic.

If there are more students than there are student tickets, why are they allowing guest tickets?

My daughter said the whole thing was insane. Cutting, fights, no security, and the entire area looked like a homeless camp by this afternoon. Apparently the ticket staff was overwhelmed and just let whatever happened happen.

Can confirm EMA showed up at least 6 times while I was there for people that fell over and passed out while in line. Tents blew over from the gust and into the lines to hit people.

A Flo was allowed to purchase 400 guest tickets.

Every other school has an online system, it's time we catch up with the times and do the same. We don't have to invent the wheel, the tech and structure exists at other universities already.

"We're looking forward to serving you at ticket pull as Texas A&M prepares to renew its rivalry with Texas. As you participate, please contribute to a positive experience by upholding the Aggie core values and showing respect to your fellow students."

https://app.12thman.com/2024TicketPullInfo

Guests are $200 and doesn't mention into one but that has been the rule since I was there. grads/seniors could pull a single lower class sports pass ticket instead golf buying a guest.
Conversions are $100 each.

I'll note the whole ticket pull concept mainly identifies those committed to waiting so the school permitting the farce is egg on their face. Can't just state rules…

Our group also got there during the second half of the NMST game. I've pulled tickets almost every game during my 4 years here and genuinely this was a terrible experience. The line condensed for the first time at 2 am and then people were (thankfully) still sitting towards the front of my line but people were screaming at everyone to sit down if they tried to stand up. People were walking on the reveille grave to get to friends and such and people were also showing up after 8 am to switch out with friends for shift changes but there was simply not enough room to move. It was so packed you didn't even have enough space to pull out your phone. Luckily I got my tickets around 10 am before the rain came around lunchtime. I heard that there was a "lightning delay" during ticket pull but the line stayed and the office stopped printing tickets. With the drainage issues on campus people were standing in ankle deep water in line. I don't know if it should be moved online, since it is a tradition, but if it is it definitely needs to be a point based/seniority system. Or, maybe they could open up more than 12 ticket windows. What they do for baseball post season makes sense- the more games you attend the better chances you get seats (good seats at that) if we host regionals/supers. They did add barricades close to the ticket windows which helped somewhat at the front, but it would help more if these barricades were much long to prevent people from pushing in from the sides which was a big issue. I am shocked they sold guest tickets as last year for bama you could only get them on Friday, which made sense so the students could get seats first. There's also a group of people that made a business out of ticket pull and are getting people to pay insane amounts just to get them to pull their ticket which does not seem right.

Apparently they were paying seniors to pull their tickets for them. I guess that's perfectly ok now.

Mostly walking along the stone wall, but people had put their stuff on the wall so sometimes they would step off into the grass, luckily a lot of good ags were yelling at them to get off and someone from the traditions council even came over to tell them to stay off

Gotta love Aggies exploiting their subsidized tickets to make money. This is literally stated on the main student ticketing information sheet supplied by the school.

I know people don't read these days, but how are current students this ******ed?

Groups of 11 or more can pull on Monday or Tuesday regardless of classification.

It's no biggie. Elon would approve. Why hold to cute antiquated standards when they're not important at all in today's world.

Wow. I am not sure when this started or who thought this was a good idea. I can only guess it was started in response to Corps block seating.



If the story above about a group getting 400 tickets is true, this is Bad Bull.

Are FLOs the same as service organizations? My nephew is in one and they're popular. Seems like frat-light.

To be clear: the story that has been told here was incomplete. You don't know if they paid. You assumed. You are ignoring the facts that are being presented.

To be clear: groups of 11 or more can pool passes and buy guest tickets. There will be a huge chunk of change potentially exchanged to fund that even if the ticket office refuses to collect cash. If they show up with 200 books and $200 per guest ticket for 200 guest tickets that $40K and every bit of it legitimate in the 11+ group rules unless there is another limit on it.

The line cutting allowing people to bring in their pass to their group is messy so if I were in such a group I wouldn't do that but 40 years ago there was a rule on number of people per pull and we were limited to ten tickets in a group. I don't remember the 11 and up so my best memory is seniors in our form pooling tickets for the dorm (Shuhmacher) when we went as a dorm.

My sophomore year I had a junior book but bought a grad student book off one of the post-docs in our research group. That year after the president's endowed scholar meet up with sponsors I usually sat in my sponsor's suite but still had to have a ticket to get in Kyle.

The notion you are positioned to judge all of this is at least lame. Try learning about it first.

Even if there is money changing hands to pull early, it isn't new.

Thanks. They should maybe publish that on the FAQ so crotchety old Aggies like me stay in check. 400 tickets in one pull, if true, still sounds excessive. I would suggest a cap on the range of 50. And it should still follow the rule that 50% of the tickets you're pulling are at a classification for that day. If you're going to the game to be social with 50 people, I feel like you're going for the wrong reason.

Frats/orgs get a bunch of different people to pull 10 tickets each so they can all get first deck.
