Dear UM Ticket Office...

You are absolutely incompetent.

You created a virtual queue system for national championship ticket distribution, but failed to mention there would be any virtual queue.

The virtual queue system (other than a white stick figure slowly walking along some green bar, absent discernible measurement) also failed to provide any indication of a fan's place in line, how many people were ahead of them in queue, or ticket availability.

This system also seems to have ignored priority points entirely, which has historically been the way UM handles ticket allotments.

You also gave 2026 season ticket renewals priority over 2025 season ticket holders (making it possible for IU fans to buy priority access over actual UM season ticket holders who stood by the program this year).

Absolutely incompetent. And I say this as someone who has two tickets to the game.
Case study in mismanagement.

I blame myself for not doing it back in december. I blame the school for botching today giving indy fans the slightest chance of getting tickets.
I eventually had to come to terms with myself and kicked myself not doing it in December. That was the only fair way to have beaten the system. Though, I was excited to log today thinking it was logging into my account and being able to pick two tickets. It ruin my day but gotta accept it and move on.
 
It sucks, but I haven't heard of anyone who requested in December that didn't get a ticket. The sole exception being the A&M game.
It's an impossible task to distribute only 20k when I'm assuming our season tix base is greater than that plus you gotta add on players' families, former players, faculty, dignitaries, boosters, etc.
 
I genuinely feel sorry for real fans being priced out.

With that said, everyone on December 7th had a chance to put in for every postseason game. Even my friend who doesn’t have season tickets put in for each and he got FOUR for the natty. That goes to show everyone had a fair shot on December 7th. This is the hottest ticket in South Florida history and that was my prediction on how this would be if I didn’t put in for tickets ahead of time.
 
I didn't get the email. Or the preCFP email to commit in advance. They told me that I was unsubscribed from promotional emails due to a system glitch. 😒
I didn't even have a chance. I haven't been a season ticket holder as long as others but I used to drive to the OB ever since I had my license.
System glitch


A f**king system glitch.
