Season tickets

[blhawk]

All of them are spoken for. In past years I bought up to four extra to take people who hadn't been before or seldom got to go, or out-of-staters visiting, but now all but one have someone using them every meet, and the one is taken by my wife half the meets or so.

Yes, the number of meets changes often, but the number of home dual DATES hasn't been over 8 in thirty years or more. We have had more than 8 home meets when we had the now defunct Hawkeye Duals (is that what they called it?) or hosted the National Duals, but never over 8 regular duals since the '80s, and with all the rules limiting competition dates the NCAA imposes now, it is highly doubtful we'll have 9 this year. Not impossible, just doubtful.

It is tradition with us. We have been to every wrestling event H.S. age or above in CHA. You call it $3, I see it as $330, which is a big amount of money on my budget in this economy.

I hear ya. That's really cool you hook up so many people, have you considered asking some of them to chip in?

I don't live in the area but with what I hear my friends and family have to pay for football with ticket and donation $17 per contest sounds sweeet. Wrestling tix have always been an incredible value

If Steveson comes it could be a great investment compared to what they will be going for on the secondary market. Especially PSU obviously

Oh, they'll sell out, whether Gale comes or not. That's part of the problem, supply and demand you know.

This says a lot.

 

[sdvike]

I wonder which home meet will be a cant miss this year, ISU or Nebby?

 

[Lambertt]

Oh, they'll sell out, whether Gale comes or not. That's part of the problem, supply and demand you know. That's why they are raising it so much. They know they can.
First, the NCAA tries cutting out the poor man, and now Iowa is doing it.

The tunnel to the new facility took out some seats, so they'll have to let the people with priority points from big donations bump people to less desirable seats to keep the rich people happy. I've "donated" plenty with two sons going there for a total of nine years. 40 years worth of buying 4 to 11 season tickets doesn't get you squat for points, but plopping down thousands of dollars does.

I guess my mood isn't any better today.

You need to go fishing. Damn relaxing.

 

[grapplefann]

You need to go fishing. Damn relaxing.

We all should go fishing.

I tried giving away the ones we didn’t use…. listed in here ….. problem was always last minute before we knew they’d be empty

That's the only good thing about living so far away. We know well in advance if we're traveling for a dual.

 

[Nashville_Hawkeye]

I want them to be eligible all year. I'm still hoping rumored names aren't accurate.

And I'm hoping whoever we put on the mat come March has a chance of knocking off some of the PSU guys.

 

[ping72]

Mine were the same price. I think they just added an idiot tax for the type of people who say things like “Bidenflation.”

 

[Herkuleez5]

You deserve an idiot tax for bringing politics into a wrestling conversation.

Tell that to OP

 

[Herkuleez5]

I will tell it to whoever brings politics into a wrestling conversation left or right so that goes for OP as well. Sorry I missed it tough guy

Good. You are probably pretty busy around here then, tough guy.

Your the only one who considers it to be political.

I am so sorry I offended you with facts.

 

[cidhawkeye]

I am so sorry I offended you with facts.

Think the op was replying to someone other than you.
My bad, didn't go back far enough.

 

[blhawk]

I am so sorry I offended you with facts.

Super surprised nobody corrected this yet but it's not political to point out the real economic fact that post pandemic inflation was worldwide and it was lower here than anywhere in the developed world but go ahead and blame the president for you being poor and clueless.

That's a lot easier than working harder so you can afford a modest increase in your big ticket order I guess. So much for bootstraps. Go Hawks!
