So what's the big deal? If you wanted to buy tickets before they went on sale to the general public, you had to become a member of the Eastern Athletic Association. Nothing too radical about that. Then if you were a prior ticket purchaser, you got a email giving you an option to buy tickets during a three hour window prior to the general free-for-all (also not a radical departure for ticket sales). The email addressess didn't distinguish between EWU or any other fans - how could it (just whether you had bought tickets in the past). Bottom line, the game will be sold out, it's already 75% sold out to EWU fans before it's even open to general sales. Maybe folks got a bit tired of Montana calling Woodward nee Roos Field their western home field. It will be great fun!
