The tickets are less than a Coke at the game. Books are priced too high, not the tickets to the football games. When the fans sitting 100 feet above you have worse seats yet paid 50 bucks more for their ticket, something is wrong. That is too cheap, and just invites problems with folks looking to make money off the thing. I'm all about capitalistic scheming while in college, but this is one area that should be off limits. Nothing used to piss me off more than walking to the stadium and seeing those foreign engineering students lined up by the student gates selling their tickets to those who were not able to buy them in the first place because of computer issues or cutoff issues.Students should have to pay face value, just like everyone else. Any unsold tickets the Monday before the game should go on sale to the public.To get specific, I'd like to see tickets go on sale in June for students. They choose which specific games they want to go to, then pay on the internet. They pick their tickets up in August when school begins. Students have to swipe an action card to get in with a student ticket. If they sell the ticket to a non-student, it has to be upgraded for 20 more dollars. When it is time to buy tickets in June, it goes by seniority (number of credit hours completed). Starts with grad students, then at anything over 160, then goes down 10 credit hours each day until tickets run out. If any tickets are left over, they go into a lottery for incoming freshmen. If any are left over after that for any single games, they are held by the ticket office, then put on sale to the general public on the Monday before the game (or sold to anyone on the UA staff/faculty waiting list).
