Tickets for EWU vs. (Montana)

[EverettGriz]

CDA is batting about .600 tonight.

 

[signedbewildered]

I see a couple of tickets for the game on craigslist.

Also some already up for grabs on The Dead Zone. (To EWU fans only of course) *rolls eyes* Pretty sure I could put my billy bob teeth in, find a tight fitting Dale Earnhardt tank top and fake some needle marks on my arms.

Perfect, if you're over 50. If you're under 50, you should go a different route from head to toe:

I've seen these things on COPS episodes. I think what makes the pants special is you have to show proof that you live in a trailer before they will sell them to you.....because "average" people live in trailers....and "average" people are cool.

Swag, bro.

We control everything south of Betz Road to the Subway restaurant in the strip mall on 1st Street. 4Life!

In assuming there might be one out two people who come into this thread actually interested in finding out how to get tickets? Seems like none of you really know what you are talking about.

Griz Tix will not get any tickets to sell. Go to tickets west at 11a.m. on Tuesday.

Craigslist Spokane. There will be more and more as the week progresses. Peace out.

Just admit that the griz would be knocking on DII if it weren't for ONE wealthy family bank rolling the infrastructure. Don't be embarrassed by it, just be humbled by it.

I don't think we would be DII, but are you saying college football powerhouses would not be powerhouses without the help of wealthy private donors? Holy shit, this is mind-blowing!

I never referred to the griz as a powerhouse. In fact, these days the griz rarely beat .500 teams. Maybe the Washington family should reconsider where their CHARITY goes to. :thumb:

OK. Cool. They aren't exactly "reconsidering" at the moment. And they aren't the only major benefactors by a long shot. Another benefit of playing the long game (The 15 Rules). I bet the taxpayers of Washington wish they could reconsider the fact that they subsidize the EWU football charity at about a 70% clip, but they really don't have a quick and effective way to pull funding.

Really, the Washington family isn't the only major benefactor. Are all the others anonymous? Might as well just call it Washington stadium. I have never heard of Washington state taxpayers subsidizing 70% of EWU football. EWU has to compete with Pac12 research institutions for $, a reality that UM and MSU do not face.
In review;
1) UM football is the only game in town and does not have to compete for fans.
2) UM football is largely subsidized by a single charitable source.
3) UM can not beat D1 teams with records above .500
4) UM can not beat EWU.
5) UM will get 500 tickets for the EWU game and none are available to average fans.
6) All of the above define UM as an "Elite" program.

Have I missed anything?

Cool diatribe. I'm pretty sure you have a lot to learn about athletics funding, especially at Montana. Read the Rules!

As for the 70%, here you go. And before you say that this is for Athletics rather than Football, keep in mind the only sport that makes money (or in your case, suckles money from the taxpayer's teat):

Some real "troof," right? Sort by percentage of subsidy to see where you stand.

Worst post of the month nominee.

Tough category given that November is Brawl month and we get all those cat trolls for a week. But this is a serious contender. You should be proud, Golden. Takes a great deal of idiocy to hang with cat trolls.

Not sure about #2...although their facilities upgrades certainly seem to come largely from a single charitable source. Someone said in a post a while back that they may be getting a considerable amount of revenue from something called the "Montana Meth Project", so you might want to look into that.

#3 should probably read - "Have only beaten three teams with winning records in the past three years". MSU (x2), Sac State, and San Diego (if you want to count that) all had above .500 records this year. Two of those wins have come in the past two weeks.

The rest looks pretty accurate.

I see a couple of tickets for the game on craigslist.

Also some already up for grabs on The Dead Zone. (To EWU fans only of course) *rolls eyes* Pretty sure I could put my billy bob teeth in, find a tight fitting Dale Earnhardt tank top and fake some needle marks on my arms.

Perfect, if you're over 50. If you're under 50, you should go a different route from head to toe:

I thought you stated that this was a ticket thread, and that no other dicussion should occur outside of that topic.

The irony here is that you just described about 1/4 of Montana's fanbase to a T. :lol:

"The irony here is that you just described about 1/4 of Montana's fanbase to a T."

The REAL irony here is that you have yet to realize, unlike EWU, 2 people do not make up a quarter of our fan base.

Don't forget the extra 7 million people to spread around in Washington.

The University of Montana has a limited amount of tickets for the Montana/EWU game that go on sale at 8:30 to GSA members only. Call 888-MONTANA

And I thought you could read. Try again. Dude was trying to fit in so he could buy [blank] from the EWU board. And I will certainly respond to any bullshit you guys try to spew.

Oh, they don't forget them. They just rob them of wages to fund the vast majority of their program. And then, they try to talk shit about a facilities upgrade funded by willing donors. We're talking "bag o' hammers" dumb.

GE got kinda quiet. Wonder why.

Oh he'll be back when nap time is over.....right after he finishes his milk and graham crackers.

So, are you saying that the UofM should not cater to those most supportive of the program? What if you were one of them, how would you feel about getting a shot at those 500?

Frankly, I would like to get 5 of the 500 too, but if I don't, I will be disappointed, but I will also understand. I will give it my best shot on Tuesday morning. Hopefully, there will be enough GA tickets for all of us that want to go.

Just saying it would be nice to leave some tickets (maybe 250-300) for the average fans instead of just making them available only to those people with deep pockets.

What the WTF? Apply for a hardship or assistance of some sort. I wonder what the max income is to qualify for subsidized playoff tickets?

I think rogermp has a point. An "elite" program should provide tickets to the average fan that just wants to see a good football game. Sadly my alma mater is a far cry from the "grass roots" football program I enjoyed in the early to mid 90s. Seems like UM is far more favorable to deep pockets than the common fan. I guess infrastructure is far more important than actually catering to deserving fans. At some point (maybe UM is already there from this last weekends attendance numbers) that wonderful stadium will be half full of a lot less "loud" fans.
