Screwed Over and Pissed Off!

So, this year I joined the ASDL block for football tickets. Yes, a different experience from Delta Chi, but still a fun time.

They camped out for Notre Dame, we got a great section. Everything was going swimmingly. Until Homecoming, that is.

They camped out again. 15th in line. Turned the vouchers in just like all the other times. Except this time we got a call Wednesday saying they had "given out too many student tickets" and that our block wouldn't be honored.

Exucse me?!?! You're saying you ran out by the 15th person in line? Yeah, right... only if the other 14 were all 100+ people blocks. Oh wait, that's possible. I suppose the more likely possibility is the frats and sororities got priority and we got screwed over. Yep, that seems more likely.

So, we decided to take up a section where we had the most tickets. The season ticket holders in that section were none too pleases, but I wasn't in any mood to care. One guy was boozing it up with his kids (I told him it's a great idea to teach them while they're young.) I'm a firm believer that children don't belong at college football games. This other woman started explaining to me how her season tickets cost a lot.

Oh yeah, lady? I bet your season tickets don't even cost as much as my activity fee, let alone TUITION. So shut up. I understand that the alumni and season ticket holders are important because they bring money in. It still pisses me off that I get kicked out of my $500 parking spot and on top of that got screwed over for Homecoming. Doesn't attempting to create generous and giving alumni include NOT pissing off CURRENT students, who are in fact the future alumni?

We finally ended up in "row 23," a special row made up but actually on some of the tickets. It was just behind the guard rail. The Thugs kept bitching, but the ticket guy came over and told them to shut up cause we were legitimate. Aside from not actually having a seat (which would've been nice during the commercial breaks), it was actually a great spot because I could actually see!

Oh, and just because they won doesn't mean that I have changed my mind about Reggie Ball or Chan Gailey sucking. Cause they do. Immensely.
