Oh the lies:

As angry as CU members are about this situation, nobody is more angry than the CU administrators.

This entire mess was caused ENTIRELY by the ticket office. Cougar United and the athletics department worked really hard to put the appropriate systems in place. The systems were in place, yet the ticket office failed to implement the system. They were not supposed to sell regular all sports passes the first 3 days. (That concept really doesn't seem too difficult to grasp does it?!)

I wish I weren't graduated so I could actually have a say as to what happens next. I will most definitley voice my opinion and displeasure with what has transpired.

I do encourage CU members to email the ticket office and athletics department and express your utter displeasure for the way they "complicated" this situation.

Cougar United administrators are fuming right now. So much time, effort, and $$$$$ went into setting this up just so the --always unreliable-- ticket office could screw it up.

I think BYUstud... is exactly right. It seems like different departments/units/etc. on campus (including the MTC) just CAN NOT work together with any semblance of effectiveness. I'm actually impressed at how much gets done at BYU considering this fact.

I don't know about that, I'm out 100 bucks for basically nothing. I might as well have just bought regular season tickets, I probably would have gotten better seats.

So I just got an email from the ticket office about student tickets, and about cougar united it said this:

All current Cougar United (BYU's official student fan association) members will be able to purchase their Student All-Sport Pass before any other student. Because the Football seating will be placed on the average date and time of purchase of your group, it will be a great benefit to be a Cougar United member. Cougar United members will also receive other benefits. To learn more about Cougar United, click here.

so it seems to me that they are just flat out lying to people . . .

There was no deceit or lies in that message as it was originally intended.
This was the original intent with Cougar United tickets versus regular all sports passes. The question that nobody seems to be able to answer is why the ticket office took it upon themselves to make all student tickets available at the same time.

....I also cant figure out why your getting that email now
