Segment: College students who purchase student football tickets.
Interviews: I interviewed three college students here at UF. All three of them purchase or have purchased student football tickets. As in previous interviews, I have seen that anyone that has purchased student football tickets hate waiting in the long line to pick up their ticket and would much rather be doing something else. Since all three mentioned that they did not waiting in line to pick up their tickets, their need for a solution is at its peak while waiting. One person actually had to wait in the rain to pick up one of his tickets because it was the last day to pick it up. Another person mentioned that he knew someone that lost his student ticket before the game and was unable to attend the game. When I asked them about a possible solution they thought of they did not really have one. They are forced to wait in line to pick up their ticket. Two out of the three people interviewed wished they could just use their UFID card as a phone. All three of them mainly just complain about waiting in line to their friends because most of their friends wait for their tickets too.
Conclusion: After all of the interviewing I have done this semester, I have learned that all people that have student tickets hate waiting in line to pick them up. They all recognize that there is a solution, but it is up to the school to alter the way they hand out their tickets. There is a huge market that is available because this problem spreads across to all college students who purchase student football tickets.
Hey Tyler! Your interviews seem to be informational and in depth. I like how the people you interviewed say that they also have friends that face this issue. This shows that the problem is spread campus wide and the solution that you have to fix this is vital in order to keep students ready to pick up football tickets. Your conclusion seems to sum your interviews perfectly and draws analysis from them.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI think you have identified a problem that almost every UF student would like a solution to. Your interviews reflect that a lot of people have this problem. I can relate to standing in the pickup line, and waiting/trying to meet up with my friends. We know there is an issue at UF, but this is an issue at other universities too then maybe your solution could extend beyond just UF.
Tyler, I can heavily relate to this issue, students need a faster and easier way to pick up football tickets because the booth where you pick up the ticket is outdoors and not shaded, so any natural weathering leaves the student vulnerable while they wait in the long line, and the biggest question I have is why do you pay online but have to pick them up in person?
