ticket suggestion for those with the means

[Saboteur]

Fellow Lair dwellers:

I bought two ticklets for the game and then my son asked if we could take a friend. Now I already had 2, but really needed 3. I dealt with the Pitt ticket office and this is what happened.

I donated my previous 2 to students and bought 3 more.

Not everyone can do that, but if you can donate tickets to students here are the Positives.

1. They pay (and their parents) a boatload in tuition already,
2. One reason we don't travel well is because our grads over the last 30 years have no memories/history of going to bowl games (or very little)...We have to build a culrure of community at these things.
3. It is the Christma/Holiday season
4. One day these kids might do the same for others.

Think about it and if you can, give it a whirl.

Students already get free tickets to the game thru Pitt. It's a nice gesture for sure tho

Theres always a but.
But they can take a friend or two who arent PITT students and maybe they Ill become PITT fans.
Recent grads with student loans who are unemployed or underemployed might come to the game.
Think big!
Sometimes I think thats part of the PITT problem.
Friends n family count when it comes to ticket sales and fans!
Think big!

Also, I believe all of the student tickets have been claimed, so there is a chance it still would go to a student.

That means we're going to have good student numbers then, which is nice because they're enthusiastic

This is great to hear. Any idea how many student tickets they had to give out?

I am a student and very excited to go to the game. From what I can tell the students have filled all of 132 and at least half of 131.

Someone is paying for those tickets. Normally the school will eat the cost of the ticket. However if someone donates a ticket that is one less ticket the athletic department has to pay for. If more people donate tickets the more free tickets they will be able to provide in the future.
