UI’s Statement Re: BSU-UI Sellout
RE:
University of Idaho AD refuses to discuss ticket shortage
/Argonaut
UI athletic department issued this news release after tickets to the UI-BSU game sold out: “While we are sympathetic to those who were not able to obtain a
ticket, we established policies in
2006 to address events where we
anticipated demand would exceed stadium capacity. Both the 2006 and 2008
games against Boise State were sold out with students and the general
public turned away because the venue was at capacity. In anticipation of strong demand for this year’s BSU game, we halted
sales to the general public in late August to protect the allotment for
student use. Additionally, guest pass sales were halted early
afternoon Monday. We acknowledge student fees are paid to athletics but the fees do not
guarantee tickets to athletics events because of the capacity of
our venues.”
Question: Do you have a ticket to see the University of Idaho-Boise State football game?
