Sorry, folks. Daphne doesn't know a thing about timing on tickets now that we've gone to an outside vendor. I do know that Yosef was cutting it close on the deadline for submitting the information while they were waiting to hear exactly which stadium lot spaces would be lost to this fall's construction. Hopefully, we'll hear something soon...

They said Penn State tix would ship separately so I assume the same for UNCC.

All away game tickets should come separately. The season ticket packets / parking passes are processed by a third party vendor from information Yosef provides them. That's how we get the nifty ticket book.

Away game allocations are processed through our ticket office (or away team if you don't buy through App). Sometimes those away tickets don't come in until much later in the season.

I loved the "nifty" ticket book but I do wonder the cost. I don't need it fancy and wonder if that, in anyway, makes someone want to buy or keep their season tickets-- I doubt it.

I don't believe it's the reason they buy the season tickets, but I know many people who keep their season tickets from App and all kinds of sports teams. It's something tangible that they can hang on to and remember the experience. Because it's a bit nicer/fancy, makes people want to keep things like that more.

I doubt the cost is significantly different from the manual manner in which tickets were packed in years gone by. Sure, the cost of the ticket book with attached parking passes for those who receive them may be a bit higher than individual tickets plus parking passes. What isn't factored into that narrow view of the process is how much personnel time went into the packing process. We would have someone from the ticket office, two or three Yosef staff, the athletic department interns, and 8-10 volunteers working two full days to get things packed properly. The volunteers were "free" ... except the sandwich lunch each day. The staff were paid. All in all, I'd be surprised if the total cost now is substantially different.

I do miss what used to be my vacation each year. I also miss the camaraderie that developed between the Yosef / ticket staff and the volunteers in the packing process. My back doesn't miss the process one bit. :lol:

Only info I was given from them was "August". So I assume any day now.

The only bet I'd be willing to make is that they'll be here before our first home game. I'm hopeful they'll be in our hands the week of the 20th as mentioned above.

Called the ticket office today and they said road tickets will go out by the end of the week.
