mikeypat15 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Here is why I do not want lottery Everyone has computers, meaning a lot more people have signed up for this than past year. Majority of people use there U-mail account so the majority of people got the email and were like what the hell i'll sign up. The highers numbers mean more people are going to be placed into the lottery, causing the odds to go down drastically as in last year, when the lottery was kinda quiet. I think we camp out in the wellness center parking lot, and sale goes on wednesday or something. Not next weekend cause I can't make it, lol.

Well, someone mentioned an open forum for how to distribute tickets... here's one. Let's come up with some ideas for what to do this year, and perhaps we can all go to the Student Government meeting tonight at 6:00 pm in the Union... I've gotta be at the Union at 6 anyway, what's another hour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeypat15 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I say allow camping in the Wellness center parking lot, its not being used right now. We then have an orderly walk over the the Ralph on the day it goes on sale. It can be done. We can act like humans, and act orderly in a simple 500 foot walk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeypat15 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Friend just got done at the Ticket office, it is pushed back one week to next Sunday at 1, official word.

KEH Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 the vikes won....but i still feel like it was a waste of the afternoon only to find out that season tickets are going to be pushed back one week.... (I had a feeling this was going to happen) Didn't anybody try out this system before the tickets were supposed to go on sale??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn-O Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 What was wrong with letting you guys camp out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxforeverbaby Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 What was wrong with letting you guys camp out? they've just been trying to avoid that, something with the Ralph not letting us line up on their property or something like that. Oh, and I tried their little test thing before 1pm and it wouldn't let me do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeypat15 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 What was wrong with letting you guys camp out? I can understand the liability, but that can also be dealt with. We can all act like humans. I think camping is really fair, it gives the people who want the tickets the tickets. Not some random who has a computer and a umail account, or some guy who puts his name in a lottery gets tickets. I have also pushed for the test, to give it to the fans who are most knowledable about sioux hockey. Anything to make it more of a sports event rather than a social event, like it has become since we went to the lottery, and probably this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeypat15 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Anyone want to demand a recall election vote or even a demand for a resignation of student leaders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiSioux Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Anyone want to demand a recall election vote or even a demand for a resignation of student leaders On paper it was an alright plan... just not totally thought out. Many people were predicting that we'd overload the server and crash the site... I'm not sure why no one did anything about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 This was UND's IT department's fault I think. The student leaders made this plan and got it approved. To me it was UND's job to implement it. The IT department obviously failed to do this as the servers crashed. And why did they fail? Because UND didn't hire me when they had the chance. I hope they learned their lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why no one did anything about it From what I was told, when I said something like that to someone in the Athletic Office, they said that it should be fine since the classes were going to be seperated. I think they may have just underestimated how many people were in that first group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiSioux Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Just got done with the Student Government meeting... Nate Martindale addressed hockey tickets in his executive report. Said that it was a long day for him. They had previously tested the system last week and it was working correctly. However, when he logged on today he got error messages. He learned that there was a communications breakdown/failure between the Ticketmaster main server and the UND server. 74 students were able to get through and purchase tickets, they will get a full credit card refund and the entire process will start over at step one next Sunday. He was unaware of a $3 surcharge from Ticketmaster (1100 seats at $3 is a lot of money for Ticketmaster) but he said he would have more info on that tomorrow. They are bringing in Ticketmaster officials to work out all the kinks this week, but they made some progress today. He was optimistic and gave us his word, and Ticketmaster's word that the system would work on Sunday. When our "group" (four people) got up to leave, he followed us out and let us know that he would be in his office most of the day tomorrow if we had any further questions. It seemed like he didn't think that this would happen and he was very apologetic that it was inconvient and that everything should be worked out by Sunday.
