People are not complaining about the priority point system, the valid concern is the misuse of that by purchasing significantly more tickets for the bowl game than season tickets and then using those to shortcut the system. Apparently that sort of thing is going on.

Mean Green Matt is right. If loyal season ticket holders get pushed to shitty sections with poor sight lines because some folks with more priority points can buy 30 tickets, what's my motivation to bu

I assume there's a limit on the number of tickets that can be bought on each account to prevent something like this. Not to prevent the selling of tickets but to prevent the manipulation of the priority point system.

There are. Mgc members have until the 18th to buy and be prioritized in the allotment. The person in the group with the least points is the priority of the entire group.

I got mine through the HOD website. Section 6 Row 12. Awesome seats. I know I will catch grief for not puchasing through the AD but I have the piece of mind knowing where I'm sitting already. Im not a season ticket or MGC membership holder this year so my seats could not have been as good as the ones I got through HOD.

I'm sure the Bowl organizers will look at the stadium to see the colors everyone is wearing in addition to the number of tickets each AD sells. A rational bowl organizer would realize that many fans will book through HOD and take that in consideration. They just want a full house.

I'm a MGC member & season ticket holder but dont want to get stuck smack dab in the middle because I'm bringing my 6yr old son. The others I'm potentially bringing may bring another young one as well. I'm considering buying through the HoD site just so I can get a guaranteed aisle seat for kiddie purposes.

Anyone know what side we're on, yet?

Can't wait for 1/1!!!!!!!

If you are considered about having an aisle seat, you could still purchase through UNT and just move and sit where you want. Even with an excellent crowd of 50k you still will have around 40k empty seats. That is a lot of empty aisle seats.

True, but I want a good seat on the lower level. I dont want to go nosebleed.

Got5onit, I bet if you just got your tickets through UNT and asked someone to switch with you at the game they'd be willing especially with young ones. If you are sitting by me we can totally switch if you want aisle. I don't plan on going anywhere during the game

Section 5, Row 12. 11 of us so far (all recent grads). We ordered through the HOD site because we all was ted to sit together. If it's in the wrong section then at least we won't be alone...

No no no you order though mean green athletics.....

If you look at ESPN it appears we are the home team, meaning we are on the west side of the stadium.

What has me most worried is that right now sections 3 through 9 are free for all. Section 6 is already almost full. Section 5 and 7 appear to be filling up quick. However, right now you can't get any tickets on the visitor side between the 10s.

If the lower level sections of what appear to be the home side of the stadium aren't blocked off for MGC members/season ticket holders, where are they going to be sitting? I see where rows 51 through 65 are blocked off for each section so maybe those are for people who buy through the university?

Lots to be worried about.

Funny how everyone who plays up supporting unt athletics all season but then starts out their posts here with "I know I should have purchased through UNT, but..."

One of those "what's in it for me?" type scenarios I guess.

I've seen long time donors get some of the worst seats. The NCAA basketball tournament against Kansas State comes to mind. When you get stuck up in the upper level when there are tons of better seats available through other avenues, other than the school getting credit for selling bad seats, what's really in it for the fans?

I think you are missing the bigger picture here.

Large numbers of our fans throughout the stadium makes for a 'NORTH TEXAS' chant that will feel like its in surround sound and should carry over into the broadcast very well.

You make good points. That does suck.

But the school gets the first 100k of tickets they sell. That's all I was tthinking as I gladly bought mine through MGS.

Remember this post when my 6yr old son and I go across you 5+ times in a 3.5 hour span to disrupt your viewing pleasure because the NTTO put us right in the middle of a row. He'll want to go pee a couple of times, maybe a hot dog, maybe he spills his drink, etc., etc....

If that means we both contributing to putting more money in the pockets of our AD, I'll gladly remember it!

And if I drank enough beer during the pregame tailgate, I'll be getting up just as much!

That is only 1,333 tickets. I'm sure they will sell way more than that.

I am fairly certain UNT receives a % of every ticket sold over the first $100K, but I don't remember the details (I want to say 50% but don't quote me).

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
