Fan support

[Jack Lambert]

You can donated your ticket to a student if you get one.

I signed the petition.

So to recap, these students are such snowflakes that if they miss one season, they're going to stop liking football? They're going to never give back to they're alma mater again? If they're that soft, they aren't going to last as state fans anyway... If they had good parents, this would be a great life lesson, give more, get more. We don't compete in the sec because of participation ribbons. You can't join a country club or have a boat just because someone down the street does. If you want it, earn it. Its limited this year, life happens, suck it up and learn from it.

They are giving more. They are paying full tuition, room and board while basically getting a online education. Sick of the snowflake regency when it probably should apply to you

reference not regency

If my tickets come through my son will go in my place.

The logic here is flawed. Don't piss off students or they will not invest in the program in the future.

Ok, If that's the logic, and it follows that people who donate 6 figures will be pissed and not invest in the program if they get left out, then there will be no program for students to support in 20 years bc the program will go away if all those giving 6 figures (or even 5) now stop giving.

Senior students should get first choice at the 2500 tickets. That will be enough to take care of them, which should happen bc it's their last year.

What percentage of students on zero scholarship who want a student ticket are actually themselves paying all of their tuition and room and board? I bet it is miniscule. I bet parents are paying it.

Would you spend 2200.00 on two season tickets and donate it to a student who you did not know? Maybe the best thing is for the school to ask season ticket holders to pass on tickets and let the students get it. I would do that but as it is now if I pass they will go to next person in line. I don't expect to get in. Life as a lot of disappointments. I just move on and forget about it.

Our first game is in October and I think it's very possible that they may allow more fans in as the season progresses.

I think this is closer to what will be happening as the cases and severity continue to decline....and since Basketball is basically after November 3rd...I'm betting there will be few restrictions on attendance.

I?m guessing there probably aren?t more than 2,500 students on campus right now that would have season tickets 10 years from now regardless. Pretty sure I read that the student association was involved in the process. I agree students should be going but you also can?t trust them to stay after halftime...

Well I'd say in today's world, very few students actually pay their own way... so it's the parents of the students, many of which are alumni who are actually paying the freight...

[StateDawg44]

That is so piss poor on the school's part.

You can listen to almost any broadcast on your phone. It's really not that difficult or an inconvenience to find the stream on hailstate.com

Show me that the students can stay past halftime and I might agree, but they haven't shown that in 5-6 years. Every time it's hot, an early kickoff, or not a prime time opponent they don't show up. And even if it's a perfect kickoff with a great opponent most still leave before the 4th quarter. I understand wanting to give them a college experience, but if you tell the current boosters that they cant go in favor of letting students go then you're hurting yourself in the present and in the future. Because most of these students aren't going to give the university and the one's that do probably wont start until they're 4-5 years out of college. So basically you're sacrificing 8-10 years of giving to MAYBE have 30% of the student body ever pledge a dime to Mississippi State.
