Ignoring the ticket odds, just looking at the line up, second year in a row when the best games were on the road.

And yeah, I got shut out on the alum lottery.

Next year (on the 12th of September 2009) our 2nd non-conference game will be with USC. Anyone think that 24.1% of the alumni will get that game? :biggrin:

Dispatch

Senior OSU alumni
Football ticket lottery called unfair

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

For almost 20 years, David Alexander was able to buy two tickets to a Buckeyes football game each season as a member of the Ohio State University Alumni Association.
This year, he is among the 10 percent of applicants who didn't get tickets in the association's revamped lottery.
Previously, based on the first letter of their last name, alumni were assigned a game for which they could apply for two tickets. Seniority counted if there were more applicants than tickets.
The new system, unveiled in early spring, randomly selects members for each game regardless of how long they have been buying tickets.
"It's disappointing," said Alexander, who flew in from Tampa, Fla., for football games. "Everyone should wait in line and earn their seniority."

I saw where my credit card had been charged for two tickets but did not receive an e-mail saying what game I had received.

Went to the website but said it was down until mid-July for upgrading and to come back later even though it is now mid-August. :roll1:

I called the ticket office Friday and there was a message saying tickets for Youngstown State will be mailed by today.
As for the email, if you use a yahoo address and have spamguard settings to where it automatically deletes all spam, then most likely the email from the ticket office was identified as spam and was immediately deleted. I never received an email either because it got deleted and they said they'd had a lot of reports of not receiving the email for this reason.

Hangonsloopy is down until the legal department lets them bring up the new ticket purchasing system. It better be up by Aug. 29 so if tickets are available I don't have to call the ticket office.
