Ticket Chaos: University of Montana Athletics Faces Backlash Over Semifinal Football Game Sales
Originally Published 2 years ago — by KPAX News
University of Montana Athletics faced backlash from disgruntled fans who were unable to secure tickets for the FCS semifinal football game due to high demand and limited availability. With a record number of season ticket holders and various reserved seats, only a small number of tickets were available to the general public, leading to quick sellouts and inflated prices on the secondary market. While the university takes steps to prevent bulk purchases, they cannot control ticket resales or prevent up-charging. The University of Montana Police Department increased patrols around the ticket office to ensure a smooth process. The game can be watched on ESPN 2 for those who couldn't obtain tickets.
