Iowa Fans

[Purple Pile Driver]

Some things never change, like NU season ticket holders selling their tickets to opposing fans.

Remember the big to-do about the Loft Club being an NU fan-only space? The signs NU put up announcing that there would be no opposing fan gear tolerated in that club? Well, several Loft STHs sold their seats last Saturday to Iowa fans, who wore their black and yellow like they owned the place.

Look, there are good arguments for-- and against-- the Loft Club rules. But the program should either scrap the rules or enforce them. Doing neither is not acceptable.

Also: why the hell do you splurge for Loft Club tickets, only to sell them to opposing fans?

I think they can track these sales. What percent was Iowa fans? I am not in the loft club, but I checked in with someone that was and was informed there were only a few. Coincidentally, I have checked secondary before the game and for IL and we’re basically none for sake in Loft. Have to think they are fining them away or selling outside of the broker sites

Why would they have paid less than you did ? Secondary wasn’t going below face value unless it really dropped right before kickoff, I didn’t check then.

That does make me feel a little better. I had not looked to see what the secondary market was for this game.

Why would you want to go to a Bulls games for the same proce as NU tickets?

I am not a NU alum so I have no school loyalty. Season tickets for over 30 years with 20 years of Wildcat Fund donations. I was just pointing out where my entertainment $ can go. You can get the same or better entertainment between plays as NU has at Bulls games and get to see professional athletes, the Bulls' opponents.

Thanks for your support as a non NU alum contributor! See your overarching point as we've known more non-NU alum, North shore/Chicago area residents over the years as regular attendees vs us fellow alums (who still harbor the ingrained tendency learned in school to show up late, engage in marshmallow fights and then leave after seeing the marching band play to go study). Famously, a few years out of school as precocious 20 somethings feeling high and mighty with a bit of disposable income, we stood up a large group of U of I alum friends for the November rivalry darby because we deemed the weather a bit too inhospitable. We reveled in our ignorance of the game's outcome until our soggy and chilled Illini friends showed up to reveal a Cat win. And then we celebrated as if we had been in for the long haul. So point well taken about competing entertainment value.

Just didn't see the Bulls vs Northwestern comp. Seemingly fairly mutually exclusive (at least at present w the Bulls get in price ~ $30)
