Diggler Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Once again REA is proven wrong with their assertion that there is no demand for tickets. I wrongly assumed that I could just show up at the Chester Fritz at 8:30 and get tickets. When I got there the line was all wound arond the lobby and went up the stairs. I ended up leaving and going to the Union and the line was past the pool tables and near the main entrance. I ended up getting tickets, but don't know many other people who got them. So did anyone else get them and also why does REA insist on not allowing us to purchase season tickets in the upper bowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told they have never sold out of student tickets so I'm not too worried, unless the chick working at the REA was wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they are gone at Chester Fritz, they are gone at the Union and REA. Since REA didn't open till 10, I went to the Union to get my tickets. So unless I was lied to, which is plausible because I was told it at REA, tickets will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Once again REA is proven wrong with their assertion that there is no demand for tickets............So did anyone else get them and also why does REA insist on not allowing us to purchase season tickets in the upper bowl? I think they said there was no NEED for selling season tickets, not "no demand". That's what I remember from the quote anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell as many tickets as they can to students until Thurs, then sell them to the general public. I don't know how accurate it is but the the lady at the ticket counter said that student tickets have NEVER sold out with just students.

Diggler Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 There were alot of people in line today. And the line was still just as long when I left after getting my tickets. It seems weird to me that there are still tickets available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green1019 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I know the head ticket lady at the REA and she said that gopher series tickets ALWAYS sell out to students. There were a few other series as well that sell out or come really close to selling out in just student tickets. I woudl be really suprised if tickets were still avalable there were tons of people in line at both the union and chester fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 They did NOT sell out last year. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I find that extremely hard to believe, but then again maybe hockey isn't as big among the students as everyone believes. If they don't buy all the tickets for the schools biggest game(s) of the year. I know I tried getting a Sioux/Duluth football ticket on Friday and was rejected cause they were sold out (yes I know they are free).

yepdude Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 What I was trying to get you to extrapalate from the information was that it would be nice if they just would offer a one night a weekend package for the so called "un-diehard fans". Hey it is just an idea. I would also like to see a type of marketplace set up on theralph.com where people could sell there tickets at FACE VALUE to others in need of tickets. This may rid the ralph of all of those ugly empty seats on the reserved side. Just trying to throw out some ideas so things may change in the future. I am sorry that I didn't get my point across the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry that I didn't get my point across the first time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Welcome to the site. I think it would be a good idea to have one night a weekend tickets. It would also be a good idea to have packages for various series. In the end though there are more than enough students seats at the REA, the problem is everyone wants the lower seats, which there are obviously too few. The REA is going to use the "empty upper seats" as an excuse not to change anything. I can see their point, they obviously rake in a lot of cash with season tickets in 107 and 110.
