Football Renewals Begin Wednesday...

[John]

To be clear, I'll be there this coming year with my son the same way that we've always been there.

The question is whether or not I do it as a season ticket holder. It's clear that there are much cheaper options with which to get tickets. The AD has to figure this out at some point and then "fix the glitch"...

that's what I'm saying - I'll still come to as many games as my schedule allows (it's tough with the kid's sports) but I'm thinking that doing it outside of the season ticket package now makes more sense.

Well, someone has to make the sacrifice I suppose. The team, I’m sure, is working out very hard right now preparing for the season.
You and the other 9k that show up have somehow figured out how to come to games despite having nothing to cheer for. My point is if 31k others understood and conducted themselves like you, we would be more competitive in games. If you can do it then why not the next man/woman?
Of course it’s personal/financial choice here but the rebuild could certainly happen a lot quicker.

I can certainly understand wanting to save money on an inferior product. By all means. That’s what you should do. Financial martyrdom for the program shouldn’t be part of deal as a fan.

Ha
It does take a little crazy to win in sports.

If they don't lower prices and give more incentive to buy season tickets than we're out too.

The soccer exhibitons wern't enough?

Hahahaha. Gonna have to do a little more

 

[CTMike]

No season tix. We will pick and choose our spots and get better seats for less money. And if weather isn’t perfect or we have something else going on we just won’t go and life will go on.

Sucks that we are here after 15 whatever years as season ticket holders but I tried the irrational confidence route last year (even upgraded/donated for our seats like a dummy) and that ain’t gonna fly again this year.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

plenty of people have done stuff like this forever.

i used to have 5 extra season tickets I just gave away to people.

you can’t give them away anymore.

the fans can’t fix this mess. either win or don’t win but everyone can stop blaming the fans.

down 57-7 with a quarter to debut a new quarterback Uconn ran the clock out throwing 3 short passes. god forbid they try to score or give anyone a glimpse at a player who might be good someday.

turtle ball isn’t a big draw.

Blows. Your not going see anybody throw until the Wagner game.

Q. What kind of fan goes out of their way to proclaim that they aren't going to buy tickets?
A. Casual fan

 

[uconnell]

Guess we will buy season tickets! Like to keep the same seats we always had.

u-huh. Been a season ticket holder as long as The Rent has been around. "Casual" lol.

 

[Waquoit]

I'm still getting season tickets. I just hope they don't conflict with too many Hartford Athletic games.

 

[auggie22]

I’m still getting tickets, but not for the right reasons.

speaking of alternative events, are they not allowed to hold concerts at The Rent anymore? Been quite a while since the last one I think.

Kidding, right? Please.

[History Geek]

We are re-upping.

 

[J187Money]

BTW half the time I can't get takers for hoops tickets either. So let's not pretend it is just football.

 

[Waquoit]

Kidding, right? Please.

Not kidding. They have 2 Saturday games in September and 3 in October.

 

[outlaw]

Looking forward to renewing. As hard as it's been, I love this program to death. Which, at this rate, is not far away if we keep playing at this level.

now the question becomes, is this the year we upgrade from red lot to blue lot?

 

[gampelcrazies]

Doesn't look like any pricing changes this year:

 

[gwhuskyfan]

$15 application processing fee on top of $30 of FIT fees. Just absurd with fees.

 

[CTMike]

Lol nope

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Yeah I think I'm gonna pass, too. Just no point to it. They are cheap as hell in the aftermarket and UConn themselves heavily discount them as game time approaches. What possible benefits do I get a season ticket holder? Commemorative mug? A tailgating flag?

Pass.

 

[John]

Sorry, no.

Congrats to The Aspire Group, what a country
