Penalty system needed for basketball ticketing

TO THE EDITOR:

I applaud the Carolina Athletic Association for attempting to make the student lottery ticket system better but their quick fix to saving the number of unused tickets is still unfair.

Now instead of receiving two tickets when winning the lottery lottery winners will only receive one.

What happens to those lottery winners who don't have the same phase as one of their friends?

Let's be honest we may all have more friends than we can count but you get pretty particular on who you want to bring to a game with you to watch Roy's Boys in Carolina basketball.

Instead the CAA should consider implementing a system like N.C. State's for their football games.

In N.C. State's system students must go online and claim their tickets after winning the lottery by a certain deadline. If they do not use their tickets or miss the deadline they are penalized and will have less of a chance of winning tickets later.

This way those who are too lazy or don't care about going don't receive tickets and loyal fans actually have a better chance of receiving them.

CAA please consider this for next year.
