Karaban not happy with the fan attendance

I have 5 seats at Gampel and couldn’t give my 3 extras away.

Have to think if we play local schools we sell out for these buy-games.

Only way to sell out is to lower the prices. $500 to $1750 on both promenade sides is too much for a college basketball game. I mean imagine if a regular high school basketball game charged just one 10th of that, the gym would be empty. I could buy a brand new 4k tv and watch the game at home for less than the price of one ticket.

You give me tickets to the next game and I will buy you enough beers to get wasted.

Although the watered down stuff they sell at games is tough to get wasted on. We'll have to down a few real beers in the parking lot before the game.

I’m trying to dial it back this year. I really only let it fly for weekend games. However @August_West has a keen ability to sneak nips of tequila in wherever he goes, maybe we all should take that route instead of paying $17 for a sub-tier IPA from Kinsmen or Two Roads. A beer that likely reeks of Citra and Mosaic, trailer park hops of the beer world.

I don't get the complaints on ticket prices. I got 2 from the Ticket Exchange at $12.50 apiece. They were even cheaper on the secondary

This was probably the cheapest game left on the schedule for Gampel

Market value was < $20 even for lower bowl. I think people are complaining about UConn setting the starting price astronomically high for all of the games, especially lower bowl.

Here is a fact. I have been to 4 final fours to include the last two….we always have the smallest turnout in the stands and in the student section. If I’m being honest the student turnouts for the two Final 4s has been embarrassing. I think DH and players try to really sell how committed the base is but is not proven through the ticket sales at home or in the final four. Good on DH, he is winning g Championships but Championships don’t built culture. We are all a little spoiled by recent success…I’m all in on AKs words

Most schools don't sell out their student ticket allotment for the F4. Bama and NC State also didn't this year. UNC didn't for their last championship. Also doesn't help that the last two F4 are so far from CT. Put it on the East Coast and turnout would be much better

Turns out it's hard for broke college students to travel across the country in such short notice

the crowd looked 95% full last night in the first half which IMO is pretty damn good for this type of game.
