basketball tickets

I 'm not sure but, I think if our fans don't buy our allotments of tickets (not sure about women's game), UAlbany doesn't make money on game. I believe we get "paid" in tickets.

As far as UA not making money if they don't sell enough tickets for the game. If that is the case, they got no one to blame except themselves. It should not be a secret to anyone that there is a certain portion of the fan base that is tired of "ticket" arrangement and always being a road team to such a $iena school.

Women's game I would feel the same way. I would like to go, but I am not going to pay inflated prices for $iena seats because it is part of a doubleheader with a lowly maac men's game I have no interest in seeing. I also am not going to subsidize that $iena school.

Unless, someone finds out before hand on the arrangement for the women's game, I'll have to try to remember to ask on Friday when I am next up there.

Heard today that UAlbany will have an allotment of tickets for the women's game against Siena on December 3rd.

 

Price?

Location?

 

 

They did not have them yet. Around Thanksgiving was when I was told.

To follow up on this...apparently there is no UA allotment for the women's game against Siena. There is also no place to buy tickets through the TUC either. I'm wondering if this game has free admission? I know they've done it that way in the past.

 

I know I"ve complained about this a million times but if the women's game is going to be a stand alone game instead of a double header it should be held at the campus sites and we should get a chance to host at the CUE.

[alum73]

agree wholeheartedly.

What a freakin' joke

I guess that's what I don't understand. If you go on the Ticketmaster site they only have tickets for the 7 PM men's game. Not that I'd be buying through ticketmaster.

That is exactly the problem. It is a double header with the LCC men playing some lowly maac team. There is not a way to get a ticket to the game/team people would want to see without subsidizing evil. I was told at the last home game we do not have tickets to that game. It is a moot point to me anyway. I'll go to the ncaa tournament game.

But it is a disgrace.

here is the blub on the ticketmaster site

 

No thanks

 

The LCC women tip-off the action against UAlbany at 4 PM, then the men face MAAC rival Loyola at 7 PM. Come watch as the Hall of Fame Class of 2011 is honored! One ticket is admission for both games!

Speaking of tickets...I've been told we got a worse contract from a seating perspective than we had last year.

[alum73]

I've bought seats in the section behind our bench. They are better than I've had in the past.

Must be nice. I got seats in 103. Although better than in the past, not yet behind the bench in 104.

Bring some binoculars. I'd loan you mine but I'll probably need them.
