Here's my only problem with what we're dealing with at the moment: I have a party of four planning to go to Indy. Last night I received a mostly-pessimistic message indicating that I've got at least two tickets confirmed, but maybe/maybe not (probably not?) on the other two...with no definitive indication of when a final decision will actually be communicated. So maybe I should be looking for two tickets, or maybe four so we can sit together (in which case maybe I cancel my order and make another NU fan a little bit happier?), or maybe none because I'll get all four, or maybe I should un-invite two people because they're not gonna wanna sit apart...but your guess is as good as mine.
So what I want to know is...can anyone else confirm how do other schools do this? Is this the norm? If so, then it's stupid but I won't put the blame solely on NU. But for a school that was using dynamic market pricing a couple of years ago, I'm pretty frustrated at the moment by how this is all being run.
If it were up to me, I would have established a two or four-ticket limit based on purple points. If you establish four, then go in purple points order and fill the orders as requested until the allocation is exhausted...if that does not accommodate every STH (including me), then so be it...but at this point we would all know exactly where we all stand and whether or not we should be chasing after tickets elsewhere.
