UConn to make Student Tickets Free for all events

[gampelcrazies]

I don't think they're going to be doing tickets though. If they were smart it'd just be first come first serve to all students until all 3 sections of student tickets are full.

I know at other schools you claim them online and then you use your ID to get in. Wonder if that’s what they will do.

For football at least hopefully its just show your id you can go in. Hopefully at least then some of the tailgate only crowd will wander in if it takes no planning ahead.

Should increase attendance but won't help the $40M athletic dept deficit.

The goal, I’d assume, is more so to make the next generation of season ticket holders. Get them hooked on games now and turn them into paying customers for the next 50 years.

Excited to hear the excuses for the lack of student attendance next year.

BOOM!

I've been saying this for years. Finally, someone at UConn was smart enough to see the way forward. And as has already been mentioned, the students pay enough already...
