I know the price has already been reduced, but do you think they reduce student season ticket prices to get more students at the games?
they always have a waiting list for those tickets....maybe they should just keep selling them this year. They may lose $ per seat on the ticket..BUT some $ with an a s s in the seat is better than nothingI know the price has already been reduced, but do you think they reduce student season ticket prices to get more students at the games?

How much is it? Still $7 a game? Doubt lowering it to $5 or something will make much of a difference, if any. All about the product.
HungryHuskies said:$42, so yeah $7 a game. I'd without a doubt buy the tickets if they were $30.
Have you talked to Mike D yet?So you didn't due to $12? -I will kick in $12.

Yeah, I mean I'll pay for your full season if I have to. We need students at our home games. Plain and simple. I understand it's a tough sell and I completely understand if people are taking a "wait and see" attitude with this season/team. But if the issue is money (or $12), then I'm sure there are folks here, including me, that would be MORE than willing to help.
The ONLY thing that is going to fix the problem is by putting a better product on the field and winning games.....the 15,000 of us...most of whom have been at the Rent from day 1 will be able to say we got to see this thing turn around...and saw some REAL UGLY UGLY times!From 32,000 season tickets to 15,000?
By all means, don't reduce ticket prices, don't let the media cover and tweet the hell out of the team, have your SID blocking student reporters. That extra hour of tailgating should fix everything.
Some posters on this board were screaming for them to do things differently when the times were good. Never understood why they didn't market BCS football more heavily in the state. They have screwed the pooch on UConn FB at every turn, didn't market/promote this thing at its peak, made the worse possible hire at a cross roads moment, and have chased people away with screw ups in the ticket office. @FDNY99 is correct though. The ONLY thing they could do at the moment is to start winning, and play some damn fb that isn't as entertaining as watching paint dry.From 32,000 season tickets to 15,000?

As far as marketing the program ...@noeynox I lay that blame on 1 person and 1 person only...Jeff Hathaway. Enough said on that one though...that horse has been shot, kicked, skinned, and then rekicked WAY too many times to count on on here!Some posters on this board were screaming for them to do things differently when the times were good.

I can tell you when I had them in the 90's I was seated on the Gampel side in the metal bleachers...they were great seats right above the visiting team bench 20-25' from the field. If I had to guess maybe 4000 to 5000.in a general sense, how many season tickets used to be sold for Memorial Stadium?

As the momentum was building for us to play in the Big East, I find the student season ticket head count interesting.
"UConn’s season-ticket base for 2002 stands at a school record of approximately 11,300 while the Huskies have also sold a record of approximately 600 student season-tickets."
Agreed. How many times did we hear people last year saying they had an extra pair of tickets and couldn't find anyone to take it for free?You could have done all of that, and if our record is what it was, you might have 1000 extra tickets. CT loves a winner. That's it.
