Remember the uproar about tickets to the Iowa game only being available to season ticket holders? Well, it's happening again.
As it relates to single-game orders, fans wanting to guarantee themselves a reserved seat in the stands for the rivalry game with Nebraska will need to purchase a season ticket. Beyond the tickets given to the Cornhuskers contractually and those reserved for tent parties, the only single-game tickets available for that game will be unreserved hillside tickets. Those single-game hillside tickets for the Nebraska game will cost $60 each.
Also....
Finally, due to the generally favorable response from our student body, campus community and a large segment of the fan base, we have also decided to open our 2008 season against South Dakota State, on Thursday, Aug. 28 at 7 p.m.
Not a big fan of the Thursday opener, but I'm guessing it's to fight the Labor Day exodus of students, so I won't complain a lot.
I'm certainly guessing there will be some Cornhusker season ticket holders this year, but, hey, they can give us as much money as they want. I have no idea if Pollard plans to charge nearly $100 like he did for the tickets we provided to Iowa for the game last year, but I have to think a lot of people saw this move coming.

Nebraska fans
They're pretty much used to stuff like this by now. For the rest of the Big 12 North the Nebraska game is the most expensive ticket they sell all year.
Some will bitch about having to sit on the hill while the rest will buy from ISU fans that will sell to them or pony up the dough and buy the season pass. Either way they seem to infiltrate everywhere they go...if they are interested.
I would guess the new coach will spark some enthusiasm but they're still going to struggle and the demand might not be there like it has been in the pass.
But, I think the main reason JP is doing this isn't to gouge Nebraska fans but to give ISU fans a nudge to go beyond buying tickets for the 1 or 2 "big games" a year.
