Try calling the ticket office the day of a game. Many times tickets are returned by the visiting team.I know that there are no tickets available for Toscano games but there are so many empty seats. Can’t they give away those tickets to students or resell them? I’d love to go to a game but I don’t have season tickets.
Only if they are returned to the ticket office. If they are put up for sale on secondary sites, the University has no control over them. According to the check of secondary sites that @mac2351 has made, that is almost entirely the case. That or they just don’t show and in that case, nothing can be done with the tickets.I know that there are no tickets available for Toscano games but there are so many empty seats.

They need to get the student section engaged. No signs, no jumping around, no chants.
The band should not be taking up seats behind the net. There a so few student section seats that UConn should not be putting the band in them
The problem is the band is essentially the student section. They need legit seats for them, they're just sprawled out right now aimlessly throughout the arenaThey need to get the student section engaged. No signs, no jumping around, no chants.

The only way seats appear on seat geek is if the season ticket holder picks that option when they aren’t using them. It appears that many season ticket holders don’t do that and just don’t go, leaving empty seats that can’t be sold to someone else. That’s the biggest problem.
The only solution would be to deny season tickets to people who let their tickets go consistently unused. But we all know that isn’t practical.And so...what's the solution to this?
Ironically enough it looks like the tiny arena is too large for its fanbase when original notions were that it was to small. We all know that it is still too small, but the issue here is access. It appears the athletic department would rather have seats sold and donations made to the program than actual butts in the seats, but I also blame those Season ticket holders who bought them and don't go or don't have the diligence to find suitors for their tickets, even if they just give them away when they can't go.
The whole mess is parallel to the awkwardness of the design of the place. If the vibe doesn't improve through this season, I may just be content going to only the XL games next season. I'm sad about it but the value of the experience just doesn't seem to be there or moving in a positive direction towards creating something worthy and special that both the team and fans deserve. I'm guessing those who work at UConn don't actually read comments in the Boneyard for insight and constructive criticism, because we've seen no changes to the setup this season. If someone has ideas or information, please talk me off the ledge here...
Change the name from student deck to student section. Knock down the concrete block house and replace it with seats and paint the name above the seats under UConn.They need seats but UConn got a $2.5 million dollar donation for the naming rights of that eyesore of a student deck so it’s not going away
That sounds like what they should have done from the start. By the way, as you probably know, it has become painfully apparent that no one with any power to change things reads this forum. If they do, they just don’t care or get it at all.Change the name from student deck to student section.

What do you mean? Do you already have tickets or are tickets left open to donors for each game. I would find that to be problematic. It obviously isn’t working if that’s part of the reason for all the open seats.In my donor account I can buy any game I want. I really don’t get why they don’t open that to the public by this point.
Not a terrible idea…but again, it will go unheard. Our voices don’t matter.Take out the ice lounge and replace with seating - have the band play in the set of seats currently above the ice lounge \ sort of like how they have it at XL
Replace the ice lounge with seating..................yes. Put the band above them...................no. The UConn band (and students) should always be behind the opposition goalie twice.Take out the ice lounge and replace with seating - have the band play in the set of seats currently above the ice lounge \ sort of like how they have it at XL
Has that ever stopped us from commenting?Not a terrible idea…but again, it will go unheard. Our voices don’t matter.
