Nebraska Athletics said overwhelming demand forced it to "pivot" during its summer season ticket reseating process, reducing the number of season tickets available to some long-time fans.

""Tyler Kai is Nebraska’s deputy athletic director for revenue generation and the point person on the volleyball reseat.
He said the athletic department prepared for “doomsday” when it came to the amount of donations and season ticket requests. And it ended up being an “Armageddon” amount, with tickets selling out July 15. That left four of the final 12 selection groups out of luck.
“Up until game time you have no idea exactly why these things will work,” Kai said. “We just have to do our absolute best to be clear, transparent and analyze this as much as we can so we could make the pivots when we had to.
“We saw more (donation) upgrades than we have ever seen before, which is really good. But it became challenging on the back end of this as we tried to protect our season ticket holders as best we could to still give them a chance to select seats.”
Originally, fans were allowed to select up to four tickets. Because of how quickly tickets were purchased and to protect those picking further down, fans selecting later were only guaranteed two tickets and capped at the amount they had in the previous season.
“We can never truly predict what people will do, or select,” Kai said. “We track it as closely as we possibly can and have as aggressive projections we could possibly think through to set those maximums.
“It felt like we would be able to make it through, but we had no choice but to make that change.”"
