I know we all only care about the game and all now, but catching up on
the last few days, I've noticed some grossly misinformed people out
there who have no idea what actually went down on Friday or why tickets
were sold this way in the first place.
Most of the things everyone complained about were brought on by the
Athletic Dept, not SA. The AD wanted centralized ticket sales on a
Saturday so that students would not miss class. Rhett and SA took this
demand and combined it with the previous used Tents4Tickets to create
something out of nothing. Also, the AD only wanted to cell on Saturday,
and the SA had to <span style="font-weight: bold;">fight</span> for the extra 1500 for Monday. The AD thought that all 11,000 would sell on Saturday.
Rhett and the SA had planned for MAX 2000 students and thought that to
be a gross overestimation. There were 100 people last year, and now we
have Dan, Scott, and the SA getting everyone psyched for the football
season, and all my fellow students want to do is ***** about the sun and
the fact that they had to party in the junction with everyone else for
one night.
The worst part is that they're blaming the wrong person. Yes, Rhett has
some power to make the changes necessary to make a better event, but
he'll be out of office next Spring, and Tents4Tickets will continue.
Talk to Scott and the AD. Get them to give SA more scanners, or to be
more flexible with left-over tickets and sale locations. I'm glad there
were 8000+ people there to get tickets, because that means the Student
Section is going to be incredible this year. Guess what students? We're
going to have to skip the Dawg Walk this year and be in line for the
gate to open 3 hours before kickoff for games like LSU and SC. And
that's AWESOME, because at least we're not creating videos to teach our fans how to cheer.
And no, I don't work for SA.
