Fedorov Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 What has happened that student tickets are ever available? Quote
runaroundsioux Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Cell phones and texting. Watch anyone under 25 at a hockey game,they all have their nose buried in a damn cell phone. Quote
SiouxTupa Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 A better answer is that there are occasionally student tickets left over. If there are, they're usually released the Thursday before that weekend's games. This has been going on for years. I'm not sure what has changed since the early days of the new Ralph (when they were all season ticket packages, and required ID.) Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 The failure of the new ticket policy, opponents that are uninteresting, too much of a social scene, I could go on and on here. The student section has been slowing getting quieter and quieter as the years go on. It was rocking my freshman and sophomore years. Upper doesn't even fill up anymore and last Saturday over half of upper was sitting (when we were winning 3-1!) Of course it doesn't help when the team is hovering around .500 either Quote
runaroundsioux Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Having to pay ticket-bastard fees to transfer tickets. Students can't just give their tickets away if they can't make it. Not allowing lower bowl to stand.(Move em to the ends.) Hockey is a game you have to WATCH,cell phones are a constant distraction. I do think sports spectatorship will continue to decline in the future because the younger generations attention span wil soon be measured in nano-seconds. Oh yeah,and GET OFF MY LAWN! Quote
gfhockey Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 And this is the start of the downward spiral Gf loves winners. Und hockey is not winning enough Look at fotball They had packed the student sections and had to pay soem days to go....now its a disgrace. Quote

Been saying this for 5 years. Would rather chirp at a goalie for 40 minutes than a player in the box for 2 (and have less of a chance of another BU incident from happening) Quote
andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 The number one problem in my opinion is the in ability to just give your ticket or sell it for cash to a friend. Its a giant pain in the butt to transfer a ticket. Number two problem is not allowing the lower bowl to stand the whole game. Quote
gfhockey Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Ends would be double truble U would have suite guys And bar seat people Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Ends would be double truble U would have suite guys And bar seat people First part: Im about 6 foot and have stood on the end and my head comes up to the middle of the glass, well out of the eyesight of the suites. It isn't any different from when we stand after ever goal, fight, last minute, etc. Second part: valid point, but if the REA put their minds to it they can make it work. Quote
runaroundsioux Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Wouldn't bother club seating one bit,suites either,you can't see the ice from the bar now anyway. Quote
Fedorov Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 I don't know where to begin. This is just sad on so many levels. Quote
