So as a season ticket holder I received an email regarding bowl tickets. Here's the skinny.
If you want bowl tickets you need to sign in and a site comes up with every bowl game, logo and date with ticket price range. You then have to identify how many tickets you want. You can select as many bowl games as we would end up playing in.
Then it says add to cart. No can do. Obviously a bug someplace.
But get this.
You have to request by December 2. Then on December 6, you are automatically charged for the tickets that you selected.
1.) I understand that this makes it easier for the athletic department to get a jump on things, but it does make people commit two weeks early, without knowing exactly which game and who the opponent will be.
2.) Any chance this is a way for the athletic department to gauge which game is most attractive for ticket sales and thus use the data point as a way of advocating for a particular bowl?
3.) if #2 is correct, I wonder if every Big Ten team is doing this and if so, VERY INTERESTING.
