I just got off of the phone with Intrust. I asked about the polices that were on their website. their answers are in red.

KSHSAA School Wrestling Feb 26, 2010 to Feb 27, 2010 at INTRUST Bank Arena

No re-entry policy in effect. If you leave the arena you will need to purchase another ticket to get back into the event.
(They are not wavering on this. This their policy and they are sticking to it.)

No outside food or beverages can be brought into the Arena. The wrestlers can bring in coolers. There will be an area for them. Sandwich fixings, fruit and bottled water only in the coolers. NO SPORT DRINKS. The coolers will be searched!

No reserving of seats.

Banners may not be taped to the facility. If banners need to be hung please contact Arena staff and they will be glad to help. (You can use string or twist ties to hold up items.)


Ticket Prices
Prices include a $1.00 Facility Fee

Adults:
Friday - all day ticket = $11.00
Friday - evening only session ticket = $7.00

Saturday - all day ticket = $11.00
Saturday - evening only session ticket = $7.00

So they are forcing everone to stay all day and eat there, you cannot go to your hotel and relax,eat, or anything else or you pay for reentry. Kinda sounds like a bunch of S*** to me. Aparently they only want it at the arena one year.

I tried to explain to them that we've always been able to come and go. They said they understand but they are not changing their policy. They will be searching anyone with a cooler.

That could be enough reason not to return next year! That is a joke. This is not a basketball game 2 hours and you are done watching the game for the day. They may be out of the running in the future.

Not sure, but it could be cheaper to still go to the car and eat and pay for another ticket, than to buy concessions from them?

Once again KSHSAA falls down on the job. I sure wish I worked for them. You can fail to get a contract signed. Fail to evaluate your officiating crews. Fail to keep the student athlete's best interests first. FAIL, FAIL, FAIL yet still make a six figure income. I still say we should abolish it and let the schools form their own organization. It is really a part time job.

Incredible. Was that the policy stated when the bid was accepted?

Did KSHSAA really accept that?????

I would start with Rick Bowden. He should have asked about this before signing a contract to use the money pit I mean arena.

I called Intrust no operators were unavailable at this time (imagine that) they put me directly to the message center. I left my name and number and told them in no uncertain terms that I would never attend an event at their arena if this policy is upheld for this event. They expect us to show up at 9:00am and possibly stay until 9-10 pm that night without ever leaving their beloved arena? Unbelivable...

Just tried to call Scott to voice my opinion. Had to leave a vm. operator was busy and could not take my call either. I believe everyone should take 2 mins and voice their thoughts. I was very professional and polite and pointed out the difference between a concert that can get rowdy and a high school wrestling tourney. etc

We have several family members coming from out of state and this is going to get pretty pricey!!
