Pit Crew Shirt Distribution Not Yet Finalized

Hey Everyone,

There was an email sent out by the University of Oregon ticket office, regarding shirt distribution, that was incorrect. The method of distribution has not been finalized and the plan laid out in that email is not endorsed by the Pit Crew. We didn't agree to it, nor did we have input in the decision process.

We are actively working with the ASUO to provide a better solution to online ticketing for basketball season. We realize the system is not working as anticipated and there are problems with how tickets are being allocated for Football. With roughly 1/3 as many basketball tickets made available to students, we are working on a better way to allocate tickets to Pit Crew members. A final plan will be released next week and we anticipate it being a significantly better system than what everyone has dealt with during football.

I do not believe online ticketing is a bad way to give out tickets but, adjustments must be made to improve the allocation process. I'm confident we can introduce a better system for ticketing, as well as shirt distribution, and will keep students updated accordingly. Sorry for the confusion!

Take care,
Daniel Cogan
Pit Crew President 07-09
