I really, reallt like this new system, because it rewards the students who are willing to take the initiative and get tickets early. This new policy also creates a basic General Admission system for the people with All-Sports Option, which is how it was when games were held at G. Rollie. One of my biggest disappointments with Reed Arena was the ticket pulling system for students; this is a move toward rectifying that.

I still think it would be better if they just let students with the All-Sports Option just walk in and scan their cards, because I think it would save money on the paper cost of printing tickets alone, but that decision isn't up to me. It was a policy that worked well at G. Rollie, though.

The Aggies play their first game of the 2009-10 season tonight, an exhibition game against Texas A&M-Commerce.
