I do agree that prices are currently too high in some sections, there's no question about that.

This is totally different. Do you even understand how big this could be for Utep? He was the number 1 recruit on ESPN. He doesn't get in trouble and has no issues, all he wants is to start. If Uteps wins with him at starting QB then Utep has hit the jackpot.

And? You said Mario McKinney coming here would sell tickets because he had a lot of instagram followers.

OK that's fair. But doesn't address the issue. If your product isn't selling, people aren't liking the value proposition. The things you can do are lower prices, increase actual value (better teams, better experience, etc), or increase perceived value (marketing).

He has now reached 10k likes and counting. No player is even close to that.

That's weird because I never have a problem entering. All they ask is to take off my cap and I'm in no problem. I have never been searched going into the games. There is always somebody (at any event I go to) that has problems scanning their tickets. This isn't a UTEP issue. Unless you get to the game just before tip off, then you will never have to wait.

I always learned to arrive early to any event I go to to. That way I can enjoy the event and avoid any hassles.

Yes, absolutely if this was UTEP telling the fans to be better. I, a fan, am telling fans to be better.

Donald Trump sentenced with no penalty in New York criminal trial, as judge wishes him 'Godspeed' in 2nd term

UTEP should open the doors at 4:00. They’ll need the extra time for the staff how to figure out the mobile ticket hand scanning devices. Also to accommodate the single will-call ticket window. And also because of the single file entrance into The Don, and everyone must be carefully screened to near cavity searches to ensure nothing illegal is brought inside, like a sealed unopened water bottle. After all, it’s the UTEP way. 🤡

UTEP is selling a product. Blaming the consumer is always such a great strategy. Nothing improves sales like that!

I remember last hearing it in 90-91.

"They" didn't do away with it. People just stopped doing it. Much like people say "bring back the Miner Maniacs"... they weren't done away with, they just got older and stopped going to the games

Is this event still happening today? Any speculation as to what it will be?

And no Fili, UTEP has no involvement with the Sun Bowl game. 🤡

Well this announcement was a bit of a letdown. Just another fundraising campaign.
