That story is true there was a mixup with payk12 the provider...apparently this affected approximately 150 people 

I think PNG uses the same provider for their tickets .

Png uses hometown ticketing

Nederland should do more to fix the problem with the tickets. You’ve got people who paid for tickets only to find out they were double-sold. I say open up seating for everyone who thought in good faith that they had tickets. The more people the merrier, especially for something as important to our community as this one. And, this was a massive screw up by the administration. It’s not as if they were unaware of the amount of volume the website would get for this game, and blaming it on payK12 isn’t good enough — They should have made sure they were ready to host a game of this size, and that includes picking a ticketing provider that can handle it. The best way to make it right is to open up expanded seating. A refund is a slap in the face - People want to see the game, not get their money back.

I understand the frustration, although I don't have a so-called dog in the fight this year, neither with trying to buy tickets, nor a grandchild or other relative involved in the game.  But I wouldn't think that NISD can really do anything. They hired a 3rd party, and I wouldn't expect them to have hold the 3rd party's hand.  Reportedly PNG previously used the same 3rd party, but apparently either learned their lesson, or else got a better deal with another outfit. Apparently information about any bad experience(s) weren't shared with NISD folks.  NISD I'm sure wants to bring in as much $ as possible, that's reportedly the reason this game isn't played at Lamar. But surely there are codes that must be followed, for fire and emergency, and a maximum capacity for the stadium. It's not like the old standing room only days I guess.  Otherwise, then take everyone's money and let them stand behind the end zones, just as you say.
