Football Tickets and Promotions

[RowdyZip]

I had a few friends come to the Temple game and drop some cash (after waiting in line for 30 minutes) on that debacle. I'm enrolled in a couple classes this semester, so my ticket is free. I can no longer find friends that are willing to attend games, so I decided to see what kind of promotions our athletics department is offering. I recalled a couple years back that there were discount tickets available for students to bring additional friends and family with a valid Zip Card. The response I received from the ticket office was less than inspiring: We're not doing that any more because we have a new stadium. Verbatim, this is what he said to me. I did not reply with a smart a$$ comment.I do like the youth promo for this coming Saturday, even though the first time I've heard of it was when I visited gozips.com for a check on ticket prices. Maybe we can brainstorm some new ideas to get people to come to these games. I have a funny feeling that we'll have to be optimistic to break 10,000 for the rest of the season with the exception of the K-ent game.Speaking of K-ent, who made the idiot call that you can't buy single seat tickets for this game? You're REQUIRED to purchase a "flex pack" in order to have the right to buy the inflated price "Rivalry Game" ticket? After hearing some stories from a friend who visited Cincinnati and their gameday experience (in addition to the thread posted in this forum), I'm convinced that this Athletic Department has things completely wrong and are completely inept when it comes to making an environment to want people to attend whether we're winning or not.

You can't be serious!!!!That's like sticking your foot in your mouth and then shooting yourself in the foot.I refuse to believe what you have reported is true and I refuse to check it out for myself because if I did and it turns out to be true I might say something mean.Your post did give me a good idea for renaming the stadium to EPT. Then when people ask, "where is the game being played" one can correctly respond "inEPT."
