Use unused season tickets for extras tickets to UNLV

Tue Dec 30, 2014 10:42 am

Just a reminder that apparently you are allowed to exchange unused season tickets from prior basketball games and receive extra tickets to the UNLV game tomorrow. The exchange has to be done at the main ticket office.

I remember seeing a post about this over at GOWYOGO but then never saw anything about it again. So today I emailed and confirmed this was a promotion. You would think they would advertise this more(or at all). I am bring a number of people over to laramie that don't go to games so this is nice as I have missed a couple games this year.

So grab some friends, get some free tickets for them(if you have unused season tickets), and watch the cowboys beat UNLV, and celebrate NYE in Laramie.

It sounds like they're even letting you exchange tickets for lower bowl seats while supplies last. People need to get their butts to the game!

I know this may be a long shot, but I've got family in town celebrating the holidays and seeing my wife and i's new baby. If anyone is able to exchange for extra tickets or will have unused tickets for tomorrow night, I'm looking for 4. I'd love to take them to the game, but it's hard with the budget of school and new baby

Thank you poke fans!

Pathetic marketing effort. This should be going out as e-mails, text messages, and should be all over local rdio and TV...

They advertised it to season ticket holders as an effort to try to get more people to a game that would otherwise have poor attendance. Sure it may get more fans in the seats by giving away free tickets, but why would they simply advertise a free-for-all? A reminder email to season ticket holders would have been appropriate, but radio spots and Facebook posts would not have been.

Given our attendance woes, the fact that many of the students are gone, the freezing weather, and the holiday nature of tonight, a full court "press" would have absolutely been appropriate.
