I just spoke with someone at the ticket office and was told that football season tickets will be sent out sometime next week or the week after.

MG Club members parking passes were something they had no idea about as they are coming from a different printing company.

Huh?

Did I get my math wrong, or are there just 3 weeks to go before first home game... <_<

Is this last minute stuff and disorganization (just see the posts about no tailgating info) a sign of things to come from UNT? I hope not. :thumbsd:

How long does it take for other institutions to get their tickets/passes out?

Seems to me you can't do anything with them anyways until gameday. What are you gonna do with them for 21 days, tape them to your bathroom mirror?

Anything depending on how organized they are. Last few years, season tickets were available for pick up (along with parking passes for club members etc) at cook-off day.

I think that THIS year, all the attention in the people who do this has been diverted from looking after fans to crowing about the stadium and not doing much else (like the job they are employed to do).

True.

My wife and her parents (who we buy season tickets for) like to have them as early as possible and plan for tailgating etc....

You need tickets to plan for tailgating? Really? Seems lots of folks have already started planning tailgating activities. Maybe you mean near which lot due to your parking situation...that I get, and agree that I would love to have that settled as soon as possible. But, completely disagree that the AD folks have forgotten the fans. In fact, there have been more fan friendly events this season that ever before...and this whole bit of a delay just might be due to the fact that they had to wait on the Apogee Stadium deal to be finalized before they actually printed the tickets (the season tickets not the single game tickets that are always much more generic). Not trying to stir things up, but I can guarantee you that folks in the Athletic dept. are not holding meetings about how they can "not look after the fans". There are times that things are taking place behind the scenes that are just not apparent to those who are charged with dealing with things on a day to day basis. Does anyone really think the AD folks want to stall in getting parking passes and tickets out to their season ticket holders?

When we are less than a week out and we still don't have tickets or parking passes...well, if that happens...then we can panic! Until then...patience folks patience.

You don't have a spouse who is a "Type A" controlling/planning freak, do you?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yes, a LOT of people have started to plan, and as a MG Club member I have friends who know I am still involved at UNT and are bugging me all the time for information that they simply cannot get from the AD.

I think the DEPT was waiting to see how many MGC members there were before assigning parking. At least that is my guess. They probably had to see how many $250 level donors there were before committing to new stadium parking? Just a guess. And the parking passes are printed for each game plus they must be copy proof since they don't get scanned. I think it is better that they waited to get it right rather than field complaints later on.

I can understand peoples concerns. If there is a problem with the tickets or parking passes, you don't want to be scrambling at the last minute to try and get it corrected.

Having said that, I believe an athletic department that can get our stadium built on time, can get our stuff to us in time for the Houston game.

I'd rather worry about Houston fans sitting on our home side, and not in their visitor's section.

According to their board, that's already happening. Reportedly someone bought a block of 60+ tickets in 203

I sure hope not!

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.

      they dropped 100 on a conference mate. currently 47 in KenPom. Memphis is at 37 and currently our highest rated opponent.
