Good news. You get the same as everyone else for tuition so it’s kinda like getting zero points. 🤓
Penn State, the school with 7 billion in endowment value, is always in need of more money. So you give the school all your money every year and in twenty years or so they will allow you to purchase a couple tickets.
Thx. That part I understand. Just wasn't sure how you figure out you need to donate to be in thebsweet spot between getting tix and a second mortgage.
You had me till “white Claws”
Brilliant idea; awful execution. Seltzers are for softies.
Nittany Lion Club Points + existing season ticket holder. That’s it! The so called waiting list is a mirage. If an existing season ticket holder folds, the ticket office gets out a ranked list (by NLC points) of existing season ticket holders and starts calling. Right or wrong ….. this is how they do it.
So, pretty much those wanting season tix need to root for current holders to die off? I'm a prick but not nearly a big enough one to pull for that.... lol
When I moved to North Carolina I tried to transfer my tickets to the guy who shared them with me. No dice. You can only give them up.
I guess I should be happy about it. Love that PSU wrestling is a hard ticket to get. National Championships will do that for a program.
I'll start by saying you're not wrong, but only because all the folks that are high on the waiting list already have at least one season ticket. If someone jumps in with higher NLC Points than anyone on the current waiting list, they would be accommodated. We're talking hundreds of thousands of $$'s over a lifetime, I'm pretty sure.
So you all know, I'll be continuing to cry to ya'll every year to sell me tickets...
And I will try to get my request posted before JTS! And if not cry foul because I am nicer, which is both subjective and debatable!
Steel: chum up to someone on this board or possibly a big giver that you may know (someone with north of 2,500 NLC points). Cut an acceptable deal and have them apply for two new 23-24 tix next summer. As a few existing season tix holders fade off, … you new friend can very probably scoop up 2 seats for you. Of course, you will remain beholden to your new friend for the remainder of your life. Normally I don’t spout off like this, but, I feel bad for the serious PSU wrestling fans that live with the futility of the “waiting list”.
Thanks Mr Roar! I have numerous acquaintances who are seriously into PSU wrestling. They suffer from the severe supply/demand imbalance. I think the best we can do is to use this board to share the wealth when there are occasions when we can not attend.
This will be me visiting you in the hospital.This will be me when I finally surrender my tickets.
It blows my mind that the University doesn't own the BJC. The PSU athletic teams have to rent the BJC.
PSU owns the BJC. It is operated by the Auxiliary & Business Services Unit.
Why does the wrestling team have to rent it for the BJC events? Or maybe I heard wrong information.
The BJC isn't an athletic department asset, hence the "rent" payment. The athletic department basically operates as a separate entity from the rest of the university. All transactions between the two must be accounted for. For instance, the athletic department pays the university for each scholarship (~$55k for a full scholarship).
WOW!! That means the Athletic Department pays the University about 2.3 million for wrestling alone. 9.9 scholarships each year x 4 years = 40 scholarships per year.. Right?
