Time frame for distribution of bus tickets for USC game left student disappointed

I thought students usually have class around noon on a Tuesday afternoon?

Maybe they don’t, because I, with many others, I assume, saw the line around noon at Gate E of the Carrier Dome for bus vouchers for Saturday’s football game against USC. But, I had to go to class first and come back around 2 p.m., only to be told that all the bus vouchers had already been distributed, that the alumni association paid for these buses and that the university could only get five of them.

First, a different time to distribute these vouchers would have been nice, not right smack in the middle of a school day. You know, maybe later on in the day, when people are less likely to have classes. Also, how about thinking outside the box? It’s nice to see tickets were still available to those with cars, but what about the people who could buy the game ticket but have no way of getting to the Meadowlands?

I’m no cost expert on buses, but maybe $5 per person on those additional buses would cover it? It’s just a thought.
