This is THE biggest game in the history of the Rent. There is literally one or two teams in the country that would generate more prestige/interest in our stadium - and they are Notre Dame and Penn State. I don't think people realize what they are going to be missing.

Since they have only sold 23k season tickets to date (no info on mini plan sales)... My educated guess is yes. Season ticket holders definitely will get first dibs if/when they are released.

Where did you get the information of 23K tickets sold so far?
 
I'm a little concerned that there has been no season ticket info, in terms of numbers sold, which tells me it's not good.

If they were selling fast you would think they would announce the high number to get people to buy before they are gone. Sure hope I'm wrong.

Our fans don't suck. It's the people in CT who are not fans that suck. Give away free women's BB tickets with every purchase and we would sell out. Of course all the games would have to be at noon so the old folks can get the Denny's special at 4PM and be in bed by 6PM.

No you suck because you want to sell your ticket to Michigan fans

yeah, well considering our fans can't be bothered to buy tickets, I'm thinking UM fans are my only avenue.

if I funded my football season tickets to do so, then it's simple economics my friend.

Well if fans like you keep not showing up to games then that's a moot point

listen my friend, I have been a Rent season ticket holder for years and go to every game - get there on time and never leave early. I view this as a unique opportunity to help allievate some financial stress and still support UConn. I really don't appreciate the attitude.
 
John isn't doing anything wrong. Ct people can feel free to make him an offer. He has good seats for a great game.

Lay off John guys. Everyone has their reasons for things, doesn't make him a bad person or bad fan. 2 years ago I lost my job heading in to the football season and probably would have had to consider something similar.

Then dont come on the UConn Football blog and post that youre selling your tickets to Michigan fans. If you dont start getting some common sense your pockets will always be empty my friend. you still suck.

I've been on both sides of the fence. A few years ago I had a very handsome offer for Big East Tournament tickets from a Syracuse fan, and I turned it down even though it would have paid for the vast majority of my ticket package. One thing I've always found annoying about our fans, especially football fans, is this attitude that a "true fan" will do this or that. Very very annoying.

Im going to respectfully disagree with ya guys. You dont come on this site and advertise that youre selling your tix to Michigan fans. That just isnt smart... do what you gotta do, just dont go around telling UConn fans that your doing it.

reality is that UConn fans aren't going to pony up the money I'm looking for. My point in coming here was to see if anyone knows what these things are going for on the secondary market.

I agree that he said the wrong thing but he seems passionate about uconn athletics so I'm willing to cut him some slack . Cody the kid wants money I don't think he cares where it comes from. A uconn fan or Michigan alum. I would prefer it be a uconn fan. Other programs pay a premium to sit that close during a home game. We could have ended this thread a while ago by making him an offer. If e chooses to be unreasonable above market value that's on him.

I'm not a kid. I've been going to UConn games since the field house and memorial stadium.

Can't you do your own dirty work?

I suppose - I've never sold on the secondary market so figured I might get some insight though. Apparently I've ruffled some feathers here though, so in retrospect I regret even asking.
