If you are a ticket holder.. how bad does it need to get for you to stop buying. I know a few ticket holders that left early most every game and didn't even go to some because they didn't want to waste a saturday to watch us getting beat up and down the field.. Why buy tickets to this garbage of a product that is being put on the field? I guess I feel season ticket holders who keep buying should not ***** about how bad things are.. Stop buying the damn tickets and things might change.

My family has had season tickets ever since the stadium open and are renewing next year. Next year has some winable home games.

The people that have had season tickets for generations will probably not be phased. The people who wont buy are the newer ones who have taken advantage of these packages JP has put together to pack the place the last 5 years. Like a lot of the upper deck holders.

Because when this turns around, don't want to give up my section E seats. Because of games like Oklahoma State. Because we beat Iowa every other year in JTS. Because I LOVE ISU. Been there through Duncan, Walden, McCarney, Chiz and now Rhoads. Yes, its very expensive. Yes, I've walked out at halftime. Yes, I go to EVERY game and love the tailgating. How bad does it need to get... well, I'm pretty sure I've been at true highs and true lows in this program. I will ALWAYS be ALL IN.
 
Obviously I'm keeping my student tickets and if I was graduating I think I'd get season tickets anyway. Even when we aren't good football is still fun.
 
If it wasn't for tailgating I would be extremely tempted to not get tickets but I will renew next year. However, if we have another 4 wins or less season next year and Rhoads isn't gone I'm done. It's not worth shelling out $1500+ for tickets and donations just to tailgate and watch crappy football when I can tailgate in the grass lots for $20/game and not have to waste my time and money in the stadium.

And I dont think anyone who hasn't had season tickets should ***** because they don't have any skin in the game. Guess that leaves a pretty small number of people to *****.
 
The guy I get tickets from when I come back for a game isn't renewing his 12 season tickets. Many we tailgate with are not either (I'd guess 35-40%). I can't blame them as this was the first year I didn't come back for a game and I usually attend at least 3 or 4 a year.
 
Next season will be our 10th season with our tickets in Section B. It will be our last if we have another 2-3 win season. Games are easy to watch on TV now with all of them being televised (except some of the non-cons). I don't know how much the tickets will be for next year, but ours don't require a donation, so I guess if they increase too much the decision might be made for us early.

I am going to keep my 4 tickets, although I have decided not to purchase an extra 2 in the end zone.
My tickets to football and mens basketball is taken out of our Vacation money for the year. with the money spent, I could have a nice cruse somewhere warm in the winter......
 
I've basicly have had season tickets since the 80's. I didn't go to 3 games because of 11 am games and another commitment. I'll still get them because of our good tailgating crew. But it is getting damn hard to justify it.
 
Pollard is truly the master of innovative ticket packages. Rumor has it that Jamie is putting together a "tailgating-only" parking pass for next year. It's only $100.00 but will require a $5,000 donation to the Cyclone Club. If you want to bring friends, a $12,500 donation will be necessary.

Sounds like a good deal....
 
We've had season tickets the last 6 years. Midway through the year I was convinced I was giving them up, but I'm now thinking I may let it ride one more year.
