Red-White Spring Game ticket sales format works for some, frustrates others

Arick Johanson of Kearney had no problem with how Nebraska went about selling tickets to the Red-White Spring Game -- none at all.

That's because his father's friend is a season-ticket holder who purchased 20 spring-game tickets for family and friends.

As a result, Johanson said, he and his wife will take their three children to the April 21 football scrimmage at Memorial Stadium. Two of the kids will see the Huskers in action for the first time, he said.

"I had considered taking my 3-year-old for the first time, but after seeing how many tickets sold on the first day and knowing the demand from non-season ticket holders would be high, I decided not to pursue tickets," he said.
