Re: Is Sat game already sold out?

Missed sarcasm,9legs.We don't have a Marketing Dept.Maybe we'll get some UVa-VTech diehards who want some more football after their Friday night battle.Fresh air in the west end.Tough weekend.No students(they don't attend anyway)and even season tix holders who are either out of town or made previous commitments.
Charging kids $25 who accompany adults is a deal killer.
If we get 4,000 it will be a good day.Weather should be ideal.Dont expect many visitors from Baltimore school to cheer on their team.They had less than 1,500 at their last home game vs Delaware State.

have kind of always felt this way, when we make the playoffs and not a top 4 seed, let's hit the road and save the money we spend/lose HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL SPIDS EVERYWHERE!!
Wow, what a great strategy to hide your light under a basket so you can rollover and cede the city. No ads in sports section today for UR football only promoting the RTD VCU uva ticket give away for the 12/6 game on broad. I looked at jmu and their tickets are $12-20. We must have a no buzz athletic dept policy. The media in this area is whored out to VCU, many times by default. We get some positive accomplishment and the Athletic dept sits on their thumbs.
just checked coastalc- tickets for the playoff game are $15

Totally agree about our marketing, or lack thereof. This would be a tough weekend regardless, but it's like we don't even try to promote our product. We have a good football team that plays an exciting style of football. We should try to 've people in the stands.

I heard radio advertising for the game everyday this week on various stations.
Does anybody actually buy - let alone clip sports page ticket coupons - anymore???

I'm curious. What stations and approximate times? I'm listen to a lot of radio and usually wrva, 910 and 950 and didn't hear any ads. Print ads don't necessarily include coupons and judging from the six of yesterday's delivered paper some companies still make use of print media. Anyone seen any digital ads?
I don't think anyone here is complaining about $25 for themselves. This is more about getting the casual fan out to the game and bringing their kids AND FILLING UP THE STADIUM. I mean, we are playing Morgan State, not Ohio State. Not a whole lot of incentive for the casual fan to come out with a family of four to pay $100 to see Morgan State.
With all due respect, I think you guys are missing the point.
If we were outbid by Sacred Heart or Eastern Kentucky, (A) we'd be furious with Keith Gill for submitting a crappy bid and (B) those of us travelling to the game would spent way more on gas than the difference between $15 and $25 for tickets. But then Sacred Heart could try to get the ever-coveted 'casual fans' to the game.
If there's a way of ensuring we won't host future playoff games, griping about spending $25 to support our team in a home NCAA game is surely it.

While personally, I think the ticket price is high for the casual fan, as a season ticket holder I feel that I signed on for the game regardless of price and am just glad that we have a home game. I even bought an additional tickets for family.
With that being said, the difference between the Athletic Departments gross revenue from ticket sale revenue and expenses for the bid and operations should be a rounding error for a school with a $2.1 billion endowment.
According to the following article regarding SDSU, the minimum bid is $35,000.

Not sure what we bid, but 4000 tickets at $25 is $100,000 gross.
To me, the larger the crowd the more exposure for the program and the University. Given the financial strength of the school, any negative $ output (if any)would be "De Minimis"! It is nickel and dime especially when people question whether we got fair value in the $17 million renovation to the Robins Center.

Morgan students and alumni will occupy Sections 116, 117, 216 and 217 in Robins Stadium in Richmond.Believe they have sold about 600 tix.
Final word on ticket prices. By NCAA rule, you can't sell tickets for less than your lowest regular season ticket price. Ours was $25.
So there you go.
