This has been a mess. The Friday morning has been really inconvenient for some parents & fans to even make it there. Those kids deserve a hype and packed crowd too. Just my thoughts. How would the IHSAA take to that petition though? Sounds to me over the past several years, they'd find a way to make it more difficult for wrestlers, coaches and fans to enjoy the experience.

There you have it!!! you just got got by cyber seat hoarders. At least before you had a chance. Now what???? SMH And if you think that was bad... wait until Saturday night!!! There has to be something in between. I was near the first in line for 6 or 7 years and I still had to battle with folks saving off multiple rows so friends can show up at their leisure. I'd have no problem with going back to first come, first serve if it truly was that. And, I don't have any issue with saving a few seats for friends. It's the multiple rows saving that is my issue. There has to be a middle ground solution. These events aren't that unusual. Edited February 16, 2022 by gsmith58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth bringing up at the coaches meeting or with the IHSWCA to communicate that to the IHSAA? Not sure what would be best or most effective?

Needs to go back.. hopefully this nightmare will encourage others not to save as many or at least give up the seats if people ask to sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmatheney Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 From what I have heard it wasn’t the IHSAA that made the decision to go to assigned seating it was the venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrodyHardcastle Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Somehow I lucked out and got seats in section 5 and section 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen multiple proposals here that make sense. The technology clearly exists to prioritize families while providing schools blocks of seats. It doesn't seem like it should be that hard, but clearly it is. Mattyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyb Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Don’t worry. Scalpers will be out front with the best seats. Just bring a pocket full of cash. Hirsej01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are they putting wrestlers from session 2 who are attending and watching teammates in session 1? Here’s the direction we have been given. If a wrestler from session 2 wants to attend session 1, they must buy a ticket. Edited February 17, 2022 by MrsTeamGarcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to hijack this thread but I couldn't agree more! So many negatives with splitting into 2 sessions on Friday & I don't see many positives at all other than finishing a little earlier than normal Return back to 1 session Friday night & move the start time up an hour or 2 if needed Splitting into 2 sessions will really impact the atmosphere for the wrestlers in the morning session. It won't be the same, smaller crowd, less overall excitement. Every wrestler competing deserves the traditional Friday night atmosphere! Teaamates splitting up during parade of champions, not warming up together, just so many negatives We had something very special in Indiana but sadly it's been a hot mess the past 2 years. I hope to see it returned to the great experience it was! Ahawkeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhayes Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Does anyone know if these etickets can be printed off and used or phone only? With other etickets for different events, I have been able to print them and the barcode can be scanned from paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media guides use to be bigger and you had to pay for them, then they switched to the smaller books and made them free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
