I know there’s a few games to worry about before then, but I was wondering how many people are going to the Providence game on the 15th and where they’re sitting. I’m looking to go but ideally want to be next to other UConn fans
 
Sitting right behind the UConn bench is the only way to assure you will be around other UConn fans and those are reserved for the UConn MBB program. Your only hope is having people on here tell you where they are sitting.

As far as seats go, there is not a bad seat in the house. It’s a great BB arena for viewing the game.
 
Seats are so overpriced for that game. Way too expensive. Providence is evil for marking up the prices for that game. They did it on purpose to deter uconn fans.

Because PC fans can more afford them? Just a silly take, they are more expensive because you are a bigger draw.

They shouldn’t be more expensive than when they played in Hartford. There were lower level seats at that game for $68.

Wait, so you are saying UConn is a bigger draw in Providence than the Friars? Makes sense.

I'm simply saying that the tickets are more expensive for all fans that are not season ticket holders, not just UConn. So unless all UConn fans cannot afford them and PC fans can afford them it has nothing to do with trying to keep UConn fans out.

No dummy, they are a bigger draw than other BE schools.

Yes I do. My major was finance at UConn. The supply and demand ratio was the same at the Hartford game. Yes the Dunk is smaller, but Hartford was a sellout too. Bottom line it is more expensive than the Hartford game for no good reason. Maybe they have less donors and rely on ticket prices, who knows.

If XL is larger than the Dunk (by about 4,000 tickets), how can supply and demand be the same? If more UConn fans are willing to go to PC than there were PC fans willing to come to UConn, how can supply and demand be the same? If UConn hasn't played in quite some time, and PC has been playing all along, how can supply and demand be the same? If PC has been in the BE all along and this our first year back, how can supply and demand be the same? I'm sure there's other factors as well, but you get my economics lesson. Good thing you have a finance degree from UConn and not an economics degree...that's your only excuse.

Also, are you referring to face value prices, or secondary market prices?

Supply = seats. XL has a greater supply. Econ 101 would suggest lower prices then, no?

Unless there is demand inelasticity, which it appears there is.

Do you enjoy trying to feel all high and mighty on here? Seriously. No reason to insult me. Doesn’t matter if XL holds more people. If you go by ratios and percentages, approximately the same PERCENTAGE of seats are still available for sale at the dunk. It’s not strictly linear as you describe it with total number of seats. Proportion matters.

Also there is no real way of measuring demand at this point. Best guess is that there is market reluctance and similar demand to the Hartford game due to the schools proximity to one another. These kind of observations we can make. What people are thinking is hypothetical. I see a bunch of seats that are not selling and price is not changing. The market cannot bear that so you don’t see movement in ticket sales. If prices drop to similar levels as the first game then you will see more seats sold to the reluctant buyers.

Economics is tied into finance as well. They are related fields and many financial principles depend on economics. Economics is much wider scope big picture type of study. Finance uses that but delves much more in depth numbers wise. Stop trying to make me seem stupid. It just makes you look like an A hole.

Sorry dude. Just questioning your rationale.

I think I'm finally starting to get where you are coming from. I believe you think the prices are high to keep all buyers away and then at the last minute PC will drop prices resulting in more PC fans at the game? I can assure you, PC would rather sell the seats to Satan than to see them empty.

I mean, it's well known that a finance degree is so easy to get at UConn that you can do it in 3 years while simultaneously leading the basketball team to a national championship. Just saying...
 
Bought a couple tickets in Section 5 Row E on the risers on the baseline behind the basket. Anyone have an opinion about the view from these seats? Is the rise high enough where you will be able to see over the person in front of you? I’m pretty tall at 6’3” so I don’t think I’ll have a problem. Just feel bad for anyone sitting behind me.

Only problem is if you're in the end closest to the basket, which blocks your view.
