The new ticket policy is absolutely ridiculous. I bought season football tickets during each of the four years that I was an MSU student. If this had been the policy then, I, along with many other students, would have reconsidered purchasing tickets. It is impossible to expect that, with students' busy schedules, they would be able to attend every game. It should be their choice and their right if they want to sell their tickets at face value to another student. This new policy prevents that.

With hardly any single-game tickets released at the box office, the policy prevents students who cannot afford to purchase the entire seasons' worth of games from purchasing a single ticket from a fellow student. It will be evident that this is a lose-lose policy for the university and the students when the TV cameras pan to the student section, and it is empty because those students who could not make the game had to forfeit their ticket. I just don't understand the logic in this decision.
