DC-area Husky Fans

[DCHuskyFan]

Single game tickets sales just opened up for the January 11 game UConn@Georgetown at Capitol One Arena. Bought 3 face value tickets in section 109 for $119 each, with only a $9 total service fee. The same seats on Stubhub going for $375 each plus whatever fees. We sat in this section last year, great view and game!

Last year they were like $12 on StubHub day of. Is Georgetown still supposed to be bad? If so might wait

There will definitely be tickets for almost free on game day.

Not good seats
Believe it or not the UConn Huskies are a bit of a draw these days

UConn's last three games at Capital One Arena:

2/27/2022: 7,114
2/4/2023: 10,621
2/10/2024: 13,040

With an early January date, I'd guess it draws approx. 12,000. Very little local marketing for games of late, but when a team hasn't sold out a game in 11 years, the demand isn't there.

Is it just (old) me, or does $119 sound like a ridiculous amount of money for a regular season game?

I spent that for 100 section seats to the 2023 title game

Eh, I go to one game a year and when the fees are only $3 a ticket. I’d rather be gouged by G-town for a face value ticket that was $75 last year than the secondary market, with their 35% fees. I’m sure G-town also realized that there are probably more UConn fans than G-town fans in the arena.

Btw, any DC-area fans want to catch some games at the Colony Grill in Arlington, VA this season?

My tickets last year were $42 fwiw

1st level seats for $42, not bad at all.

Very down for Colony Grill. Love that spot

BTW, that was not judgment - just astonishment. I think back to my days in Storrs when students got into football games for free by showing their student ID (rarely missed a game), and tickets for basketball games at the Field House were $.50 as I recall. Yes, I'm that old.

Speaking of student ID's, back then, your number was the first two letters of your last name, plus three digits. I still remember mine - PR324 - but don't send me to the grocery store with a verbal list of four things to pick up. Guaranteed I forget at least one, resulting in a stroll down every aisle to see what jogs the memory.

So your real name isn't Steve?

Yes. It was the first two letters of your LAST name.

same owners as Stamford?

same owners as Stamford?

No 100% sure but I heard the Stamford people sold and the new owners started expanding. I went to the ST Pete, FL Colony and it was almost what i remembered from the 1980's Stamford location.. Live in NOVA but haven't been to the Clarendon Colony. Might have to now.

Yup same ones - there are two in the DMV

A buddy of mine is in charge of the Rangers/Knicks playoff-watch clubs in NoVA. Colony Clarendon has become a very popular venue for them. It doesn’t hurt that Chris Drury is one of the owners. The hot oil and sausage is solid, and they have a decent, albeit predictable, tap selection.
