For everyone telling us to stop complaining, you stop posting. I went to the student government office about an hour after they did the lottery. I was one of the people waiting in line, and I am one person who is extremely pissed off.
Here is what I was told by the Student Government on how it was supposed to work. Basically it was expected that students would come at 8, and get in line and be first come first serve. I asked if they were going to do a lottery, and that was not the plan. Everyone talks about how their was to be no preference, but isnt first come first serve preference. I think it is. Coming out at 2:30 in the morning, when the crowd was calm, relaxing, and waiting out the night was completely wrong. The talk of safety is obsured, because more people would charge the line at 8am, then walking up in order as it seemed it would be. The true die hard hockey fans, who make an impact at the game got shafted, their is no doubt about this.
I also hope that the student section in the lower bowl is half empty during the games, it will show the SG how much of a mistake they made. Talking about fairness for all students is crazy. Do you think that Van Halen is going to, out of the blue, have a lottery because they didnt think it was fair for everyone getting tickets for their Fargo concert. NO!!!!!!! Its all first come first serve, its how it always has been, its how it always should be.
Nothing more besides "SG really screwed up" can be said, and it will show this year at the hockey games
