It's obvious we have a lot of illiterate people in our fanbase. If people would have read the original email, or even the follow ups, they would know that 1)Most of the allotment was accounted for in the original wave and 2)Today was a lottery, with limited inventory.
That said, the ticket office screwed up royally, because they didn't think this through all the way.
1)2025 season ticket holders and HC members should have had first dibs(Outside of the student body). Why? Because those people donated before we knew this game was happening, so that precludes IU fans getting their hands on tickets, unless they are a Miami/IU alum, or donor(I'm willing to bet there aren't many of those)
2)If you are going to make this a cash grab, MAKE IT WORTH YOUR WHILE. In order to be eligible for today's sale, new HC members should have been required to donate at least $1,000. Why? Because that again eliminates people, few scalpers and IU fans are willing to gamble that much on something that has a low success probability. We can all spare a hunski, but a stack is a lot of money for most people.
3)Make it about HC priority. Instead of the complete free for all, just say "We have x amount of tickets, we will make them available based on priority level". That would reward long time donors and supporters, eliminate IU people and is the fairest way to distribute tickets, outside of selling to the students(Who would have bought them up anyway, preventing this from being an issue)
