I really don't know what the answer to the pricing problem could be.
The issue is you'd have to be utterly insane to purchase a single game ticket for $35 from UConn.
I know the AD needs the revenue and I think the added perks for season tickets are a good idea, however nobody is paying $35, especially considering you know dam well into the season a day before the game UConn will slash prices (or alternatively just going to $5 bucks from a scalper too).
If you can get a set of student season tickets you'll be fine using your old ID. They won't let you buy them though as the system will realize you aren't a student. Just buy them through someone you know that's still in school or through the UConn Buy/Sell Facebook Group.Has anyone ever bought a singe-game ticket from Rentschler box office on game day? Wondering if it's cheaper to buy tickets there than single-game tickets online with all the fees they charge. Also I still have my UConn student ID even though I graduated last year. Can I get away with that?
Extended tailgating is pre-game. post game tailgating is still 2 hours or shorter at LAZ and CT State Police discretion (which means about 13 minutes.).So as season ticketholders, we get premium parking with extended tailgating time. Does this mean that miniplan & singlegamers are relegated to the Aircraft Club,OR do they have to park in RED lot & if they don't leave immediately after the game, their vehicles are either impounded or bulldozed into the ground?
Shouldn't be an issue. My brother does it all the time. They normally don't have anyone checking the tickets in the student section.Can a student get into the student section with regular tickets or do they have to have student tickets?
You'll be fine. Until they start winning games and packing the house. When I first got to UConn (2008) they were checking student tickets but not anymore.Can a student get into the student section with regular tickets or do they have to have student tickets?
oh wow, with a single game ticket i can get in to see the game?
that must be a new perk.
Lmao.
The notion that UConn can put that out and realistically expect the casual football fan is going to place an order for say UConn Houston for him and a buddy in the end of November for $70+fees is straight laughable.
Looking at $90 between tickets and parking for two people to see that game.
Oh the kicker? Last year I had multiple games I couldn't even give my extra tickets away in the parking lot!
Again that's the point. All you get with a single game ticket is entrance through the gate and a seat for that one game. You get all this other stuff for a lower price to you if you purchase a plan. But in reality, everything else is basically of no or scant marginal cost to the Program. Their margin (price charged minus cost incurred) may be less on a game-by-game and seat-by-seat basis, but it is guaranteed?oh wow, with a single game ticket i can get in to see the game?

Posting higher single game ticket prices creates the illusion of better value with a mini plan or season tickets.Lmao.

lol well I usually buy a small and then refill it 3-4 timesPosting higher single game ticket prices creates the illusion of better value with a mini plan or season tickets.
A small drink is $1.00 and a large $1.49?? The large is 3 times as big! Who is going to buy a small? The people at McDonald's must have their heads up their asses.
I recently found out the hard way that you can't do that with Iced Coffee, as if cold water filtered through dirt is worth so much more than concentrated cola syrup.lol well I usually buy a small and then refill it 3-4 times
Well what if you're going through the drive thru? What then, smart guy?!lol well I usually buy a small and then refill it 3-4 times
