USM not UNT
I went to USM to compare what ticket prices would be later this month.
My bad, UNT plays USM after they play us.
In 2014 I bought two tickets for $12 each walking up and sat with the Tech fans, no problems at all. That is the way to go for the UNT game folks.
Where do you park?
Parking is around the old football stadium and you walk across a bridge over I-35E to the new stadium.
Keep in mind the better tickets have more obligations to them than just the ticket price. For example the cheapest club level ticket is listed at $95. However to be able to buy that ticket you have to give a $3000/seat Stadium Fund donation, and a $300/seat Mean Green Club donation.
As far seat enforcement the vendor we use is usually really picky at first, but then if the students leave they will lighten up.
SOP.
I've traveled to every North Texas conference mate. Everyone sticks you in the worst seats, everyone charges a lot more than normal GA.
Nope. Our AD may have done that to you, but USM did not. I doubt Rice did either.
I don't care where you put us. That's the way it goes, but don't charge the same you do for a 50 yard line seat. I've already called your ticket office so don't spew more misinformation.
Why the aggression? The Rice game was just a few weeks ago, I remember the visiting team section seats were $45. I don't remember what USM charged last year, but I don't remember it being significantly cheaper to sit in the official visitors section that most other places.
I know LaTech has a GA policy for visitors, but most others schools I have traveled to don't.
I went to the game at Rice last year, and while I don't remember the exact amount for the tix....well, there ya go, if they were outrageous I would have remembered given I bought 4 that night. Wanna say they were maybe, $25 each, and we sat at around the 40 or so.
(of course, given the size of that stadium and lack of support for Rice, one could easily move to better seats)
Thats the one thing UNT screwed up when they built this new stadium.
The problem is Bonnie Brea. It is a small two lane road with no shoulders and rain ditches to each side. Season ticket holders park in the lots around the stadium and to the east. Just getting them in/out on that street can cause some major traffic.
We would like to put large parking lots to the west of the stadium, but it is going to require the city to agree to expand Bonnie Brae. That is in the works now.
The University wants to tear down the old stadium (Fouts) and replace it with a new parking garage and several intramural fields. Again, that has to wait until Bonnie Brae is expanded.
For now I highly recommend visitors park at Fouts and take the walk over the pedestrian bridge. ADA parking is on the West side of that lot and a ADA shuttle starts running 4 hours beore kick off and drops you at gate 2.
Yep. Last time we parked near Fouts and made the 16-mile hike. No worries.......I need the exercise.
Good grief! Et tu Hogdawg?
Where are all the classless, trash talking UNT fans? All these Meanie Greenies visiting our board are acting, well, well! Hard to hate on a team and its fans if they conduct themselves with class. Sheeeesh!
I've already posted what they are charging us this year. You have a bad memory. Rice charged you $45/seat to sit in the visitors section? Come on man. Not to be too aggressive, but you are full of crap. Here is the cost of tickets for next weeks game in Houston...
