SMU offered tickets to these next two games for free to the students. In order to attend the games, students had to print their tickets off by December 16th. The school probably did it as a way to get more students to come who haven't purchased tickets, but the early deadline may have had a negative effect on attendance. I hope we got as many students to print tickets as possible, but it definitely could have backfired, as I have talked to a few friends who forgot to print them out and can't go now.

That is ridiculous. So there will be seats that were given away but can't be used because they weren't printed a month in advance? Are they reissuing them at least?

On the email it sent to students it said they will be removed from your account if not printed by December 16th. I assume they are offered to the public perhaps.

SMU botches another one. Are they that far out of touch with an 18-22 year old? No college student plans that far in advance. That's just the way it is

:roll: I guess the school should just offer free tickets at the door on first come first serve basis. My money says that won't work either. I actually think the student sections have shown pretty well this season when classes have been in session. No reason to get down.

I'm guessing the same. They were selling those seats for $35 for a while before Christmas.

It's actually around 35-40%, and that includes a lot of houses off of 'Greek row.'

I was way off. I guess I mixed up the donations % from greeks. Hopefully the 60% show up in full force

There definitely aren't that many students back on campus yet, mostly rushees and jan term students.

while UConn fans are convinced their decline can be attributed to membership in the AAC, I wonder what Syracuse's excuse might be these days?
