Which we need to take advantage of by doubling up on that and having students pick up their tickets before games and reselling all of the no shows. These no shows could turn in to heroes for our booster clubs and athletic department.

They aren't my reasons, they are reasons that I get from other students.
While I think their reasons are stupid those are their reasons among others.
Top 3 Reasons
- Lines (decreased excitement around team not that there are always lines)
- Extremely difficult to sell tickets (transfer fee, printing fee, etc.)
- People don't want to buy tickets that don't guarantee admittance
There was someone that just said they paid $40 and didn't even get into the Iowa game. Would you pay for something that doesn't guarantee you anything? These aren't great reasons, but they are very valid to some. You need to get that or we will never fix the problem.
Like we can do anything about it. The people on this board are not the ones skipping games.
The biggest of them all Cycsk!
Seriously, 2015, how do you think this year compares to last in terms of late season student attendance? It seems worse this year which really surprises me. Why do you think student attendance has dropped off so much after such great student support earlier in the season?

Become Cyclone Alley leadership council or whatever. Jesus, do I have to draw you a diagram?
Huh? They already bought the tickets. That isn't the issue here.
We're going to have to agree to disagree on the rest. I still say that if they actually cared in the first place, they wouldn't be so turned off by an issue that only affects a couple of games each year.
Apparently it's our job to track down all the students skipping games, grab them by the ear, and drag them into Hilton.
OKAY.
OKAY.
I never have and never will recognize the CA committee as a legitimate entity.
Honestly it has dropped off, but only slightly. If you recall last year there were several games where the upper deck was barely filled. But I can't give a specific reason other than the ones given such as the casual fans hearing about all the people being turned away and them not wanting to deal with that. It only takes one story of people getting turned away to turn off the casual fans.
If we had the same schedule as we did last year, the attendance earlier in the year would've sucked too. We just had some really big games to start the year off. But some of the lower tier games such as UMKC barely had the attendance that we're getting now in conference play.
I can't make excuses for the students though, there is no legitimate reason that the students aren't showing up.

Gas Station Attendant: I'm picking up your sarcasm.
Richard: Well I should hope so, because I'm laying it on pretty thick.
YOU DONT GET THE POINT!!! IF EVERYONE SHOWS UP THERE ARENT SEATS LEFT. SOMEONE HAS TO BE LEFT OUTSIDE IF THE SEATS ARE GOING TO BE FULL.
Actually it is more than it appears because they oversold more tickets this year than last year.

The only social media things they do it tell everyone to vote for them being the best student section and organization of all time and how awesome they are.
I'm talking about others who weren't able to get tickets.
I don't really get how you can disagree with what people are saying. It isn't what I think the reasons are it is what I have gathered as a student talking to people.
I would say less than 5% of students read The Daily on a regular basis especially after "Just Sayin" got banned.
CAC does little, they have some social media presence but they honestly should be spamming the **** out of people's feeds near game time.
