Iowa Ticket Update

- Start date
Yeah it looks like my son and I aren't going to any games this year. Not overly hopeful for the next few years either. So simple. If you are scared of the greatly blown out of proportion virus thing stay the heck home! Why do those of us not worried about it have to pay these kinds of prices?!
Wow. Thread went cray.
I dont think ol boy is the only one who is going to make this decision with thier entertainment dollars over the next couple of years.
Agree that they need to let in noise makers. Make the rule no whistles and let it grow.

Exactly, where do you think people are going to go if they are not in the stadium in masks? They will go to house parties, bars, tailgates not on school property. It is foolish to think that by limiting the number in Kinnick you somehow mitigate social distance concerns, it is a whack-a-mole concept, the problem pops up somewhere else. Now if I am an old fart, I shouldn't be in Kinnick anyway during these times.

Yep, get sick at your own house=no liability for UI.
not to mention it’s a numbers game....even if people go to a large house party with 30 people....still far less than you encounter walking into the stadium.
Bill Shakespeare was right; 'Kill all the lawyers', and take the boomers with them. Only joking, save the hate replies.
Because the that's the choice made and the world doesn't revolve around you
Nah that’d be too easy. Basically what they said today is season ticket holders thanks for your loyalty but at this time we could care less about that. After consulting someone in the Tippie College of business who explained supply and demand we will try and make as much money as we can this year by offering inflated game tickets.
however I’m curious to see how many people will be allowed in suites and the new north end zone premium seats.
UI wouldn’t have any liability anyway barring them saying anything untrue.
It’s public opinion driving it.
Actually the 6 foot distancing rule issued on June 25 by the governor is still in effect.
I would just let the students have free general admission to the upper deck in the north endzone. No limits on capacity or social distance required. They can fill the upper deck but only have access to the north endzone.
Because you don't get it, that is why you have to pay the price
Without getting into the cesspool of the c19 debate, this is a huge tactical error on the university's part. I predict there will be thousands of season ticket holders that will watch the games at home this year on their 70 inch ultra high definition tv's and decide that maybe the hassle of attending games in person and paying the high ticket cost and seat license fees is just not worth it.
I think we are looking at a massive loss of season ticket buyers and more importantly, a massive loss in donations. Time will tell.

Legit wonder about scalpers. Could UI deny a fan of the other team/scalper? Or does it not matter and tickets can go on secondary market?
Guy on street scalping is dead. Online scalping will probably get a boost because of the mobile only way tix are now going to be. It will stay the same when we are allowed to attend games at full capacity.
50 is a big class!! Unless you are in a gen ed deal where they have 200. If you are in your major type classes they should all be less than 50 anyway.
I’m just thinking out loud...but with say only 10,000 people at a game, couldn’t they really spread out the entry of fans to the stadium, as well as seating, etc?
First - season ticket holders get first crack at the single game tickets. Second, is there published price for tickets or are you assuming an inflated price?
Your money rolls over to next year. You're not paying twice. Plus, season ticket holders get first shot, but then it's open to the general public.
You realize the students aren't going to social distance on campus but then we are going to make them do it in a stadium. Just shove them in the upper deck away from everyone else and let them have at it. Besides if we ever want to get out of this everyone 30 and under is going to have to get it at some point.
Where did you see that? It was not in the University's letter that I saw.
You sir/or maam are a moron. People are going to die no matter what you do, or our President does, the goal was to flatten the curve. Are you going to continue to cower in fear at the .05% chance that you may die if you get the virus? Please stay in your house, morons like you should not be out in public, or allowed to vote.

Thousands died of swine flu when Obama was President. Or don't those people count. They are viruses. When you go out and about and you see someone not wearing a mask, please verbally educate them, one person at a time.
The models said early on 2.2 million would die, so is 150k thus far success? What number of deaths would be deemed success? I need a number. 50k? How many are expendable and its just okay.
