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

There are 10 other players on the offense.

Adveresity often brings out the best in a team.

AK-460Mag Nurse

We have yet to lose two in a row this season, and I think I formation with TJ and EJ has the potential to be devastating. GBR 🤘

Brad Bredenkamp

They won’t come out flat like they did last year. It will be a team win with a defensive or special teams score.

James Key

yes if EJ has plus 100 and TJ has 50 Run and 166 Pass. Then yes. All bets off if over 2 TO.

Ron Joseph

Time for the O to show their potential in support TJ. Once he gets comfortable with the game, he will add a dimension to the game we haven't had- dual threat QB.

Not enough players with the "it factor".

Unfortunately we still have a terrible O-line and now Freshman QB a Defense that can’t stop anyone, I don’t have much hope for the season ending on a positive note. Lose by 17

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

Rick Distefano

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

No pass rush equals easy win for the Trojans.

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

Ted Fuller

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

Ron Joseph

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances
