Arrowhead is One Hot Ticket
Nov 20th 2007eCollege Football
A pretty big football game is being played this weekend between Kansas and Missouri. Just as you might have predicted when you heard that two non-traditional football powers were meeting in a big-time NFL stadium, nobody involved seems prepared to handle it.
First, there’s the Kansas athletic department. When students began camping out to buy tickets last week the athletic department allowed them to give their IDs to friends in the front of line. Some students showed up with dozens of IDs and they were permitted to buy tickets for themselves and dozens of their friends. In short, this screwed every other Kansas student hoping to buy tickets. I don’t understand what happened. Were the people who organize basketball ticket sales on vacation? The school has been through this before for big-time basketball games. It should be able to handle it for football.
Some other people unprepared for the big game are the Missouri ticket scalping policing agencies. Right now the scalpers are going wild. This week the Missouri Attorney General even had to place a restraining order on GoTickets Inc. to prevent it from scalping tickets. You know a company is bad news when it’s already in trouble for scalping tickets to a Hannah Montana concert.
For now we’ll just have to hope none of this affects the game, and that on Saturday Kansas and Missouri play with a passion you can only expect from two teams who never imagined being in the national championship picture.
In closing…Todd Reesing for Heisman!! Tell your congressman.
