2025 Season Ticket sales...

This is going to be a problem until/if Uconn gets into a P4 conference. We can go 10-2 this season and we still won't be coming close to selling out. Yes, people want to support a winning team and Mora is building that. However, they also want to see teams with name value. Right now, we have 4 teams with some name value coming to the rent within the next 3 seasons, Duke, Maryland, UNC, and Syracuse. The rest of the teams are ones that no causal fan knows or cares about. That's a problem that UConn can't do anything about except continuing to do whatever it can to get us out of Indy hell.

I dunno. Let's hypothesize that UConn is undefeated going into the Duke game and the weather is gorgeous. You don't think that game would be sold out? I do.

From uconnhuskies; The only way to ensure tickets for the UConn vs. Michigan game on Sept. 21 is with the purchase of a season ticket or mini-plan, which are both currently on sale. Three-game mini-plans including the Michigan game are $120, while non-Michigan mini-plans are just $90. Should single-game tickets for the Michigan game become available, UConn Club donors and season ticket holders will receive priority access.

That was the only year since 2003 that my group did not have season tickets. We were transitioning from a friend who moved out of CT, but who accumulated an obscene amount of points. When we couldn't reach him for the renewal, I opened an account in my own name and purchased two mini-plans and the UM game for each of our crew, which was basically the equivalent of season tix w/o the donation, but the seats were close to the corner on the upper level above the band.

I've been the account holder ever since. but we are in the lower bowl on the 35YL behind the visitors' bench. It's the section next to the chairbacks, so if some open up we can easily move over.

At my age and experience, If I'm not in the lower bowl for football or basketball, I'd almost rather not go in person. Other than the tailgating or meeting friends for drinks, the view is better from my couch. I want to be closer than the TV cameras and prefer decent Wiffy, vs. competing with 10s of 1,000s of other devices.

Is this from a 12 year old email? That's what I call retention!

We sit half way up (or down) the upper level on the 50 behind the visitors. Awesome seats. I would not move further down.

I received an e.mail from UPS (not the Athletic Dept- LOL) that a package will be delivered, from UConn Athletic Dept, on 7/22. I presume that is the parking passes for the upcoming season.

We were in row 5 for about 8 years. I ended up watching the game on the scoreboard once they crossed the 50 to the other end of the field. Lower than 1/2 way down the lower bowl is a waste.

So I can buy three two packs for lower endzone and essentially have season tickets for $120 with no required donation or the fees associated with the season tickets ($49 per seat fees plus $25 seat donation)? Sounds like it pays off to having given up my season tickets….
 
Let's get butts in seats.

Any word on how season ticket sales are looking? I let my season tickets lapse, but just picked up some new ones this weekend.

AT least a third, if not 40%, of fans in the building were MIchigan fans. While some blue and maize were in the season ticket section, many simply purchased season tickets, mini-plan tickets or single game tickets directly from UConn. By 2013, we weren't getting 30k in the building for normal games.

I don't think so. We were high up for the game and had a good view of the stadium. In our section, there were maybe 4 Michigan fans. I would say 20% tops were Michigan fans. And, In 2012, the average attendance was 34,672 and the first 4 games in 2013 averaged 37,542. Then, the floor dropped out for UConn football and attendance collapsed driven by dreadful seasons in the AAC.

You are 100% right. Revisionist history. 15% of the crowd would be much more accurate. My section (chairback on visitors side) had at most 30 Michigan fans. I would agree they had more fans than any opponent since the opening of Rentschler.

can anyone share with this newbie fan how on earth the university of connecticut of the lowly AAC convinced THE university of michigan to COME to east hartford?

They weren't in the AAC at the time of the agreement. The AAC reorganized in 2013 so when it was agreed on, UConn was still in the Old Big East for football.

Booked years in advance when Big East football was still in existence and much more highly regarded than the AAC. The more interesting question would be how UConn booked the more recent game in Ann Arbor. That had something to do with Michigan's AD who had been UConn's AD, but still ....

I always wondered. My strategy has been to sit just low enough in the lower bowl to escape the wind but high enough for a quick trip to the loo.

They tried to get us to switch the game to the Meadowlands but Warde stayed strong.
