Section M and N
I don’t understand how these sections work? On USU’s official website to buy tickets, they are blocked off as the “student section”, but at actual games, the seats are pretty much a free for all? Anyone can sit in those seats? Can someone please explain?

Re: Section M and N
Student section is general admission for students. They scan their ID card and then it's first come, first serve.AggieIceCream05 wrote:I don’t understand how these sections work?

Re: Section M and N
I understand that, but in section M and N, hardly any students sit in those sections. It’s usually USU alumni with their families. Did our student section ever fill those sections? So that’s my question, if you have a ticket, can anyone sit in those sections?usufan1 wrote: ↑March 1st, 2024, 9:50 amStudent section is general admission for students.

Re: Section M and N
I know for sure the lower half of M is sold to the general public. I know people who have season tickets in the lower portion of M. I'm fairly certain there is a company in cache valley that has bought out a significant number of those "Student tickets" and gives it to their employees.usufan1 wrote: ↑March 1st, 2024, 9:50 amStudent section is general admission for students.

The top half of M I know is fair game to students for first come first serve.

Re: Section M and N
I know this is where a lot of players families, student athletes that play other sports and recruits usually sit. I don’t think that is part of the student section you can sit in by scanning your student id.AggieIceCream05 wrote: ↑March 1st, 2024, 9:53 amI understand that, but in section M and N, hardly any students sit in those sections.

Re: Section M and N
Why is it blocked off as part of the student section on USU’s website then? It’s confusing. I’m sure this is part of the reason why there are so many other empty seats during games. People buy the least expensive ticket and then go sit in section M or N.

Re: Section M and N
Because the seats are not for sale. Does the U of U not have seats for players guest and recruits? The seats are not a free for all, they are issued and given to student athletes, coaches of other sports and their guests, unaffiliated coaches, recruits, and even the family of halftime performers.AggieIceCream05 wrote: ↑March 1st, 2024, 10:01 amWhy is it blocked off as part of the student section on USU’s website then?

Across all of sports there are people that buy tickets and never use them. Scalpers, people get sick, people have a life outside of sports and decide it’s not worth the hassle to sell/give away the tickets, corporate tickets that go unused. I have sat next to the same couple for years and they haven’t missed a game in years, yet missed several this year due to health reasons. Why do you insist that these tickets are wasted when someone who is very sick doesn’t have the energy to find someone to sit in their seats.

Man... I feel like I am on repeat now... but I understand that not everyone reads all the posts. It is OK for someone to be a fan of Utah Football and USU Basketball... All of Aggieicecreams posts in this thread were pure curiosity. He was not attacking those who are sick and can't make it to games for health reasons.

I don't care if you are a Utah fan, BYU fan, or any other fan. If you are sincerely cheering on USU then you are more than welcome here!

The comments calling him out as a Ute have been far more annoying than anything I have ever seen posted by AIC.

Re: Section M and N
I did not know section N is for student athletes, recruits, their families, etc. I see a lot of alumni sitting in that section, so I was confused.

Re: Section M and N
I think the seats are just reserved for Athletic Department use. They can give them to whomever they want. They offered me free tickets once and they were in that section.AggieIceCream05 wrote: ↑March 1st, 2024, 12:37 pmI did not know section N is for student athletes, recruits, their families, etc. I see a lot of alumni sitting in that section, so I was confused.

The lower seats in N are all bought up by Cache Valley Electric. They give them to employees and friends.

Re: Section M and N
I’ve attended sold out games, and they all have empty seats. I was in Boise on Feb 10th and there were sections in the third level that were sold out but only half full. What he’s asking seems disingenuous, or maybe he’s never been to a sold out game. Last time I was at a Broncos game they announced the number of people who didn’t show up and it was almost 15,000 for a stadium that seats 75,000 (it was near Christmas years ago). I will say the seat color makes it easier to see empty seats in the Spectrum.Dkdavis wrote: ↑March 1st, 2024, 11:41 amMan...

Re: Section M and N
I think the color of the seats in the spectrum are 99% of the problem. They are just too noticeable when empty. Surely every sports venue has empty seats during sellouts for two reasons:Full wrote: ↑March 1st, 2024, 1:12 pmI’ve attended sold out games, and they all have empty seats.

1. People pay but don't get to the game.
OR
2. There is a percentage of people up at restrooms, concessions, tending to their kids, or whatever at any given time during the game.
Solutions: 1. Institute a policy that if your seat is not filled by 10 minutes into the game your seats can be given to standby. Assuming some AI can record the info on which seats are not filled or something and folks would wait in standby for big games. 2. Get some damn blue seats in there.

Re: Section M and N
Your solution feels like a recipe for disaster. There are a lot of reasons for a seat to not be filled at a given time.
Seems like a pretty small problem for such a drastic solution.

Re: Section M and N
I don't actually want to do solution 1 necessarily I'm just saying what else can be done about people not showing up? Send out emails and texts 30 min prior to tipoff saying if you don't confirm your attendance then your tickets will be resold/rovoked? Lol that wouldn't work either cuz there'd be some pissed people that miss texts or emails and or don't know about the policy. Really I say we do nothing about number 1.
I do however want blue seats which would help with both, look better, etc etc

When they inevitably redo the Spectrum (which I hope isn’t for a while) they should have the same pattern of seats just with navy blue and black and pewter.wams747 wrote: ↑March 1st, 2024, 6:32 pmI don't actually want to do solution 1 necessarily I'm just saying what else can be done about people not showing up?
