NDSU may change student ticket policy
FARGO -- North Dakota State University allotted more than 4,000 free student tickets for the school's football opener, but it wasn't enough.
Student who still were waiting after the allotted tickets were gone had to fork over $15 for general admission tickets. About 50 students will be eligible for reimbursement.
Athletic director Gene Taylor says 4,000 student tickets were enough for most games in other years. Taylor says officials plan to watch ticket sales for each home game this year and release more tickets when possible.
