9A Testing the Hypothesis Part 2

I decided to interview 5 random UF students on campus. I found that 4 out of the 5 go to UF football games and purchase student tickets. The 4 of them stated that they all hated waiting in line for their tickets and wished they did not have to. Even the person who does not go to the football games has been to one football game as a student. They did not enjoy waiting in the line either. All 5 of them supported the idea of a virtual ticket that could be used on their phone or at least having the option to do this.

Who: After my interviews I learned that most people are actually effected by this opportunity. Some people do not go to many football games, but they have been to at least one. Being that I'm sure students would pay $25 to the school to support virtual tickets. If the vast majority of the students wish for virtual tickets than UF could begin to implement this policy through my services.

What: Tickets are already sold physically on paper by UF. People want a virtual student ticket because it is harder to lose and also they would not have to wait in line for it. While some people do enjoy the physical ticket because they collect them, most students are all for a virtual ticket.

Why: Most of the people that fall outside of the boundary either prefer physical tickets or do not go to football games. Even though people believe in physical tickets I am sure they would rather not wait in a line for their tickets.


Inside the Boundary
Outside the Boundary
Who: People who purchase student football tickets and wish not to wait in line and/or would rather have them on their phone
Who: People who do not purchase student football tickets or people who prefer a physical ticket
What: Eliminating the requirement for students to wait in long lines to get their student tickets/eliminating the problem of students losing their ticket and not being allowed to get another one without purchasing another
What: Eliminating the option for physical tickets entirely, but giving the students the option to purchase a virtual ticket rather than a physical
Why: The need comes from students being tired of waiting in long lines to pick up their tickets. Students also lose their tickets and are not allowed to get another one for the game without purchasing one
Why: Main problem is that people’s phones could die and they would not be able to get into the game. People may also enjoy the physical ticket because they keep them or collect them

  1. Hi Tyler! I liked how you had a lot of details with your explanations in the table with information about the who, what, and why for inside and outside the boundary. This is very informative and seems to further your analysis for why your idea is important and what the need for it is. So far, it seems that most students do want for this idea to become a reality.
