Interesting Ticket Plan
AState is offering 100 season tickets via the Wolves Up pass. You download the official AState app and buy the ticket for $50.

You don't get a paper ticket, your ticket(s) download to the app and the day before the game, and get a text message where you find out where your ticket for that game is. You don't get the same seat at each game and the only promise is you will be somewhere in the lower level for three of the six home games.

RE: Interesting Ticket Plan
That is interesting. Sounds like a nice pilot program, and good way to use up unsold seats for "entry-level," if you will, STH, and hopefully once they get a taste of those good seats for 3/6 games they will up their commitment and become higher level STH in the future. Also a good way to test out the benefits and pitfalls of online ticket delivery to make decisions about expanding it. #Innovative

And with only 100 seats available under the plan, if you have a big technical issue, that's only 100 paper tickets to print and place in will call, so if the technical side isn't ironed out you don't have a major fiasco.

Is a neat idea. Had read a few months ago where Kentucky was doing something similar.

MLB has been doing this recently. If I recall correctly, earlier this year I saw where the Braves had it on a monthly and half-season basis.

A great idea at the college level.

RE: Interesting Ticket Plan
I like this idea, helps fill in space that would go unused.

Would bet we see it soon for unused parking places as well. Maybe not in upper level lots but for outer parking for sure.
