Men's Season Tickets Available

[PhilG]

I have season tickets (2 or 4) for both Gample and XL available. Based on having 931 points built up, the seats this past year were in section 118 row R for XL and section 209 row 13 for Gample. The price for the tickets are face value plus there is an annual donation required per seat to get points in order to maintain/improve seating.

I starting buying season tickets in 1982 but left the state in 2000. I buy the tickets for both men and women and provide them to friends and acquaintances in CT. The folks who had been getting the men's tickets have opted out for the future. I can provide their contact information for reference purposes. This is legit.

If interested, please PM me for details.

I guess a sign of the season to come is that no one is interested in getting good seat season tickets.

Can you donate a small amount and maintain your points and skip season tickets for a year or do you go to back of stadium if your tickets aren't renewed? Seems like donations will be way down and ticket sales of course will be way down.

Points are based on how much you donate plus more points for buying season tickets. They are cumulative and do not decrease. I started donating in 1982 and currently have accumulated 931 points. If you skip donating for a season, and sign up the following season, your seat assignment will be based on your total points in relation to everyone else's total points. You don't go to the back of the arena but if you stop donating or lower your donation, then the seats will get progressively worse each year.

So if that's the case I'd think a lot of people (including yourself) will seriously consider skipping season tickets and donating next year. Not saying its the right thing to do at all, speaking only from a pure economic and supply/demand standpoint.

No. I would not consider skipping a season. These donations are not just about priority seating. It's about helping to make the university a better institution for the future. It's truly amazing how much UCONN has improved since I was there (class of 1970) and even more so since the growth of the mens/womens basketball programs in the 1990's and beyond. As mentioned before, I have been donating since 1982 in good times as well as bad times. We need to keep this up the make UCONN an institution to be even more proud of. I am truly proud to say I'm an alumni of the University of Connecticut.

Wouldn't it be better for the university if the eventual purchaser of your tickets instead purchased tickets through the school?

It would not make a difference to the university unless the person did not donate. If the person just bought the ticket thru UCONN, the university would get no donation money, just the ticket revenue. The purchaser would also get some nosebleed seats.
