No changes to be made until next year
Whether you hate the new football ticketing system or think it’s better than last year’s, today is your chance to make your voice heard.
The Student Ticketing Office will hold a town hall meeting today at 3 p.m. in the Russell House Theater for students to give feedback and air any grievances they have about it.
The new system has faced complaints mainly over the implementation of full-season passes; those who forgot to request them this summer or didn’t get awarded a pass must apply for one in a lottery each week and those who got awarded less-popular upper-deck tickets are stuck with them for the whole season. Students also now scan their CarolinaCards rather than printed tickets at the gates of Williams-Brice Stadium.
The forum’s goal is to get a vibe from students on whether further changes should be made next year, said Student Ticketing Coordinator Adrienne White. She said most complaints have been about CarolinaCards not scanning at the gates, though that has become less of an issue.
“It lessens and lessens every time,” White said. “For the ECU game, we had a lot of problems scanning, but this weekend, that went down to less than 50.”
