Season ticket holders donate and deserve first try. Maybe reduce to max purchase to 10 though

Randy Rogers

If you pay for season tickets and have to pony up.the donation then yes they should get first crack however, it should only be limited to the number of seats you have.

David Schipporeit

I agree with some of the commits. Season ticket holders do pay a premium for their tickets so why shouldn't we get first crack at the spring game.

Dennis Paulsen

but reduce the max purchase to 10 a day...this way they get first dibs but then can get more if needed on the same day as everyone else.

It was unfair to the average fan and a bonanza for scalpers.

I have gone to the Spring game the last 20 years. I always take my disabled friend, who can afford the $10 ticket. This year we will not be going. I tried 53 times to phone in and could not get in. No one should be allowed to purchase a large quantity of tickets. The FROST has MELTED for us.

Jeff Moreau

Became a money grab. Not what the Spring Game is about. It is about family.

Jason Tessman

Allowing season ticket holders to grab 20 -40 tickets at a pop is ridiculous. If you want to give them first dibs, limit them to 6-8 and let other people have a fighting chance at taking their family

Allen Bowman

I remember when the game was free and I would travel from California to watch them play. I think they need to charge $10 at the entry gates for all spectators. Stubhub tix for $500 is CRAZY.

T David Andrew M

I agree, that is absolutely stupid, and it is a good argument against those season ticket types that charge way too much for tickets.

Visitor

the amount of tickets given to Season ticket holders is way high. Should be double the number of season tickets they have no more.

John Ely

This is the only and only time I can take my grandsons ... I've been going to Spring games ... heck since Freshman games ... for decades ... need to limit # sold to season ticket holders

Mike Wardyn

No problem with giving season ticket holders an opportunity to buy some early, but 60K was excessive and they obviously didn't intend to go based on the amount that are now on Stubhub for $100+.

Jeremy Klein

There should be a limit on how many tickets can be bought at a time. Ridiculous what scalpers are doing to this event!

Troy Carr

I think the best solution is still letting the season ticket holders get first dibs but only if they get the amount of season tickets they currently hold.

jon boller

some individuals were allowed to buy mass numbers of tickets and the average fan was shut out. now they are available for purchase at bend over prices on the net.

Joe Dreyer

big companies and other scalpers who buy up them all to flip for a profit are greedy chumps

Tom S

My boys and I have been attending spring games for nearly two decades, but NOT this year because tickets not available due to the 20 per first day! And those are now on Stubhub! Bad deal!!

Roger Lohr

The U of N previously had a policy that permitted them to deny a season ticket holder’s right to purchase season tickets if they were caught scalping . A 20 Tx limit encourages scalping! Yuck!

Josh Smith

Hell no.

Joel Hug

There should have been a cap of the number of season tickets you hold plus 2 max.

John Schaffert

Allowing the season ticket holders to buy 20 tickets a piece was a little bit ridiculous. The spring game WAS a great opportunity for young parents to bring small children without major expense.

David LaFever

The spring game ticket sales method is geared to the wealthy. No season ticket holder should be able to buy 20 tickets at the expense of other loyal fans. AD should have realized the demand would be high. AD earns an F

Robert Neemann

Gave no fair shot to everyone but scalpers to get tix was excited to take kids but not for $50 a ticket

Allen Johnson

I am a retiree and have a fixed income. The Spring game is the only game I can afford during season. By the time a logged on the web site on Wednesday they were gone.

Terry Tramp

Bonanza for scalpers alright. Had to resort to Stubhub for $60 tickets and it appears I got by cheap compared to the $600+ dollar tickets out there.

Tyler Hulme

Should have had all tickets go on sale at the same time. Not fair to those that can't afford the luxuries of Season Tickets.

Robert Lloyd

This is a time for the families that normally in this new world can not afford regular game tickets. Now it's a racket. Come on Nebraska. Mr Moos... where are you?

Matt Amack

I can see Season Ticket holders getting fist right to buy. But it should have been limited to the number of season tickets purchased. I am an alumni of UNL. I support UNL financially, and through other means. I live out of state so am not a season ticket holder. It's unfortunate how this was handled

Jason Heck

There should have been a cap on the amount of tickets you could buy, no matter if you had season tickets or not. Some guy bought 84 tickets at once for out of state friends and family.

John Steel

NU Tix office should have limited the number of spring game tickets to season ticket holders to a much lower number. All the hype has been built up and then the "common" person doesn't get the chance

Dominic Keaton

I don't think it was fair to non-season ticket holders. 57,000 were sold the first day. I purchased w/in 1 min of sales on 2/7/18 and the best I got were south end zone nose bleeds. Revenue the issue?

Phil Wojtalewicz

I really have no problem with the amount of 20, as long as there was a caveat of no scalping. Should have worked something with StubHub to prevent the price gouging.

Kim R. Fandry

Spring game tickets should not show up on Stub Hub or other ticket sales. This game is for the fans that cant afford normal rated tickets. It should be against the law to be able to hike tickets to $600 for a $10 dollar ticket... I feel that 6 or 8 should be the limit for anyone.

John Keady

Understand Season Ticket Holders should get an advantage but 20 tickets seems excessive it encourages hoarding for scalping purposes. Probably should have been like a max of 6

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

we need an offence

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
