Musselman Makes Plea to No-Show Fans to Donate Tickets to Students, Children's Charities

Arkansas Razorback coach Eric Musselman wrote a public letter Tuesday asking fans who have tickets, but aren't going to the game to please consider giving them to him so he can get them to students who can't get into the game or various children's organizations.

Help us pack Bud Walton Arena! Not going to the game? Send us your tickets and we will make sure they get used! Transfer the tickets you aren’t using to musstix@uark.edu at least 48 hours before the game #PackThePalace pic.twitter.com/97LO3bhb2P

While it seems like a great idea to build up the energy and fill Bud Walton, some fans are concerned for how students will be treated if they venture out of their designated area and choose to be rowdy in front of other fans.

100% i just dont get were people think they have a right as a ticket holder 2 tell another ticket holder what they can & can not do at the game The uofa is going to have 2 choose a side eventually were they stand on this issue Is or is it not ok for fans 2 stand & b loud & crazy

One particular fan was especially aggressive in her support of the initiative.

Exactly. Even though they pay the bills, Arkansas season tickets holders are the worst in the country!! This is widely known. Walmart shoppers with money. Ugh!!

But not all Hog fans are supportive of the Musselman's request.

So holding onto tickets that you pay your hard-earned money for is selfish? LOL. Okay. I’d always try to sell them but I’m not just giving them away unless it’s for a person deserving of those tickets.

A couple fans suggested going a step further by expanding the student section to be more reflective of what's in place at other college campuses.

Either way, a handful of fans are doubtful the fans holding those seats will give to the cause.

Fans interested in taking part in Musselman's ticket donation program can follow the guidance posted by the Arkansas Men's Basketball tweet below.

Confused by how to transfer tickets? Don’t know who to transfer them to? OK GREAT NO MORE EXCUSES.
