Despite the fact that the group system has been abolished, more tickets will be will allocated for men’s football and basketball games. With the new system, 10,000 seats will be available for footballs games, and 4,500 tickets will be available for men’s basketball. Advocates of the group system should not worry though, because the increase in tickets allows for more students to attend games.

Abolishing the group system rewards seniority and prevents lower classmen from snatching tickets from other upper classmen. For example, large group organizations, such as Campus Crusade for Christ, comprise members from all grade levels, and in previous years they have prevented other seniors from receiving tickets. With Campus Crusade for Christ being so large and consisting of so many members, its top loyalty-points member could have allocated tickets to all of Campus Crusade for Christ members. Large organizations like this devoured so many tickets that other seniors were not given a chance to receive their own tickets. The new ticketing policy prevents this conflict and instead allocates tickets based on individual loyalty.

The new every-man-for-himself method prevents the group unfairness and allows seniors and dedicated fans to hold priority in being rewarded tickets. Even though the group system has been revoked, students can still sit with their friends, due to general admissions. One enters the stadium and is assigned to a section, but the sections are so large that students can move around. Entering with one’s friends guarantees them seats within close proximity of each other.

Since the new system rewards seniority, underclassmen might be inclined to join the Student Wolfpack Club in order to increase their loyalty points. The non-profit organization grants students loyalty points to attend non-revenue sports. If more students join the Student Wolfpack Club, non-revenue sports will increase their audience, therefore increasing N.C. State athletic support, while also rewarding dedicated students with loyalty points.

With the new ticketing system, the group system will no longer be an issue. The perks of the old system will remain, but students now will be rewarded for individual loyalty and dedication, creating a system that solves issues of the past while positioning new ideas for the future.
