We Out: A student view of the new ticket policies
I know that the new tickets policies for football and basketball have been discussed at length here, but this article has been getting a lot publicity today by many Michigan students, especially among basketball season ticket holders. It more eloquently gives the argument as to why the author and many other students (including myself) have sold back our student basketball tickets and how this athletic department continues to erode their image in the eyes of students and future alumni. It's decently long, but worth the read, especially by some of the fan base that are easy to dismiss the students as apathetic.

That section across is paying FULL PRICE. The problem with the students is they're getting a discount AND not showing up, when those seats could be sold for full price.
Now, I agree that in terms of looking at JUST paying ticket orders, things need to change too. There should be some sort of loss of priority points for every unused ticket. This would encourage even wealthy tix holders to make sure their tix are used, creating a full environment. Or, less prestigious fans might start to creep by them in pecking order if they are truly dedicated.

Can we just all agree that people born from 1995 - present day are probably the worst generation ever? God help us.
