To show that men's hockey has bigger pucks, err, balls? I'm starting to see real similarities between the Bernie Sanders crowd and the Sioux forever people. Stop fighting a foolish fight and join the team; the ongoing tantrums are an embarrassment. Does anyone else want to puke at the response of so many people nowadays, with their political comparison! Its like judging a person's entire character by their political views! Man alive! It's hard to believe, I know, but some people don't share your views! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just locals and or hockey fans.... ....or just plain old entertainment fans! Not much to do in GF when it's cold outside. It's easy to get addicted to Sioux hockey! But we'd be talking season ticket holders specifically, so they would have had to shell out quite a bit more money to make up for not having the 10 bonus points for being a UND alum in the Champion Club points system.

Ok....so you're saying that season ticket holders mostly are alumni because you have to pay more for tickets if your not? In the area I sit there are two UND employees, one UND graduate, and the rest are just like me, fans of hockey/entertainment/Sioux hockey specifically. I've been next to these people for 10+ years. Not sure about the discount part, my invoice has never had an up charge for not being an alumnus? The champions club perks that I know of get you higher on the list to buy tickets for regionals, etc.... Not any "discounts" but I could be wrong.

No, it's not a discount, and I'm saying I would be genuinely curious as to the breakdown of season ticket holders. Back to the point you made, it's the priority points thing to be able to purchase tickets at all. From the Champions Club website, you get 10 priority points for being an alum. Which basically gives you a few hundred dollars jump start to someone without a degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 You're misinterpreting priority points. Quote The Champions Club Priority Points system is how we allocate benefits in a systematic, orderly and equitable way. Priority points help us prioritize requests for season ticket allocations, away game ticket requests, postseason tickets and other benefits. The system rewards you based on your loyalty and financial support of UND Athletics. I don't get a break on season ticket prices based on my Priority Points rank. The ticket price is the ticket price and it's the same for everyone. (Champions Club levels pay different amounts.) However, based on priority points I do get further up in line if I want to move my season ticket seats or if there are limited seats to an away game. For example, if you want to fly the UND charter to a Frozen Four, you say you'd like to get on their plane and then they fill it based on priority points rank.

UND-1 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Big time under the radar place to get UND & Fighting Hawks gear = Grand Forks Walmart. One row jam packed with football shirts I have never seen anywhere else, for example. Most of them were under $10, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of the charter, I'm on that also, I went when they couldn't fill it and the years after I got priority, even over higher champion club points then me. Worked great the last two years, they had to turn people away because it was full! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which basically gives you a few hundred dollars jump start to someone without a degree. All I can tell you is I believe a lot of the season ticket holders are not alumni. Most people in that building got ticket priority over alumni when the REA was new because they were season ticket holders the last year of the old REA. Really doesn't matter, I just said to whoever wanted to bet your side of the story, or maybe it was you? I would take that bet judging from my experiences at the old and new REA. Either way it is a blast in there and I can't wait to get back and sit by all my buddies I made over the years in section 314 to watch some great hockey! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxphan27 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I am happy the new gear is out. I remember being assured a year ago that we absolutely needed to have a nickname, as millions, yes- I remember being told on this very site millions, of more dollars in merchandise sales from this new "branding" would start rolling in. Can we start scaling back donations yet or do we need to give it a month or so? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
