Ticket purchasing for next year

adrock · 03-03-2010, 09:33 AM

Last night was the first b-ball game I've been to this season. I'm a die-hard fan and loyal UC supporter, but I usually do it from the comfort of my family room...where the beer is free (and on tap btw) and I can play pool during commercials and halftime.

However, as I've stated in other posts this morning, I was rather embarrassed at the lack of fan support (even though quite a few more fans showed up after tip-off), so I'm changing my stripes. I am now devoting myself to becoming part of the solution. I will attend several games next year, and am even considering season tickets for b-ball (if my wife allows the expense

) . That was a great game last night...I look forward to seeing many great games next year.

I plain on getting football and basketball tickets.

We have a pair of football season tickets. I would personally prefer basketball, but my wife prefers football. In the end, I'm just happy to have a wife that's into sports, so I'll take her to whichever one she wants!

I'm currently talking to a few others about season tickets.

I'm justifying the expense as a graduation gift, even though this expense will not be a one time deal.

Can anyone post ticket information? I've been contacted through inbox message with people taunting me about "how much they pay for tickets" and I can assume their tickets if I'm interested. Of course, their tickets are $50,000.00 each...

Your profile pic is nasty. I've already complimented you on it, but it brings a smile to my face with every sight.

It is also my PC wallpaper, and has much the same effect every time I see it.

If you are under 30 they have offered a "young proffesionals" discount which reduces your football tickets by 40 %. I am unsure if they are keeping that with the recent changes.

Same for basketball?

Yes. But it required a UCAT membership (100 bucks now) but would still save you money.

Your 100 bucks would cover as many seats as there are in your name. So if you and 4 friends buy tickets you could put all the seats in your name and collectively only pay 100 dollars for a UCAT fee and then whatever tickets costs.

I see the young professional option was recently removed during the update. I have contacted UC marketing to ask what is up.

Here are snippets of last year's UCATS brochure. For example, I donated $1250 to UCATS this year, which allowed me to get 2 tickets in Section 121 in Nippert, row 20-something. In addition to the donation I paid $282 for each of the season tickets. So, $1850 when you include parking for the whole season, but most of the donation is tax-deductible.
