Throughout my years there have been many mistakes made by the Carolina Athletic Association, and the ticket distribution for the Texas game is just one example. It is upsetting to the many students who showed up well before sunup that they see they have pulled section 116, right behind the end zone! I speak for all that were in line early and received what we perceive as bad sections that it is not fair to go on a "random ticket distribution" because it was not random at all. Random would be the tickets are printed out when you get your card scanned and it arbitrarily seats you somewhere. Random is not having all the tickets of one section already printed and given out until there are no more of that section and then move to the next.
Preprinting them saves time, but it does not make it "random" because someone has to choose what window gets what tickets. The head person just took a complete section, passed them out, called it "random" and thought students would be OK with sitting out there for three hours before and getting put in a bad section. Once again, CAA has failed the faithful student population who want to enjoy the games as much as they do. Hey CAA members, have fun with your good tickets. What section did you guys pull?
