Tickets and attendance……

[DOZE860]

FYI for ppl wondering why there was a sudden drop in availability in tickets, the university is giving faculty and staff 4 complimentary tickets for the season opener...they have been doing this for season openers for the last few years.

The University should give each and every entering Freshman 2 free tickets for themselves or family members - Freshman are the future of building exciting programs.
Juniors and Seniors not motivated to attend

Students have free access for all athletic events w/ their student ID.

Thanks- did not know that. I go to a lot of the football games and the student section is not always full

It appears we haven’t sold a single ticket in the section above the students for any game this season so far

Yep. Still no.

I’m doing my part (as a CT native who now lives out of state) and bought myself and my mom tickets to the FIU game. Hopefully attendance is good; it looked like they had limited availability in a lot of sections.

Wish I could go to more games but it’s a lot to make the trip down and back. I’m trying to convince my parents to start going more but they still aren’t convinced the team is turning a corner.

They haven't sold many, but they have sold some. I spent a half there once. Not a bad place to see a game, especially at the
price.

As long as they actually go. Otherwise, they need to give them away to people who will.

I had seats there when that was the young alumni section. One of my favorites.

The way they distribute the complementary tickets is via the ticket office portal.. so its like you are buying tickets, you get to pick your seats, then when you get to the check out, you do not pay. so if ppl do not claim the tickets, those seats still show up as available. if a person claims all 4 tickets, and then does not go then i see your point.

Those are the last tickets to go. They only sell when the stadium is full. There were empty seats up their for the stadium opener against Indiana. I don't think they sold those for Michigan.

Those were traditionally served for Young Alumni/ Recent grads for a heavy discount. The section use to be pretty full, always some seats left, with some student section overflow... that was until DJ Dog Pound came into the picture.

Two and a half weeks out from the first game and still no tickets in my account, has anyone heard from the ticket office when we can expect these?

I just got off the phone with UConn Athletics. The operator said e-tix will be available on Thursday.

I'm more concerned with the physical parking passes (Also the end of the week).

Received parking passes yesterday. Friends received theirs yesterday as well.

Like the previous poster said, that's were the young alumni seats were. Those seats would be a prime location in the Meadowlands.

I used to have four season seats. Two times in one season I gave them away only to get the "something came up and we couldn't go" excuse. Grrrrrrr.

There is not a single sane human being who is worried that they won’t be able to come to any home game and buy tickets at the gate because we are sold out.

This is me right now. Travel sports have limited available games. Have the Duke game circled as the one that works but won't buy Tix until day of to see what the weather will be. Hopefully in the future it won't be this easy to get tickets day of!

Looks like passes came in yesterday. No tix yet.

My friend was looking for tickets yesterday and it said less than 2% of tickets remained. By my math that was about 700 tickets based on the stadium capacity. It's great that the tickets are accounted for. I just hope the people that have them go. We need a big crowd for many reasons.

this is not true. either he’s lying or he read something wrong. maybe 2% remaining in a section? either way there isn’t anywhere on the official ticketing site they says the % afaik

I'm not sure. I see a lot of singles on aftermarket sites.

That's how many tickets are available on stubhub. There are plenty more tickets available via UConnHuskies.com.

I hope there is a late push this last week. I am expecting about 21500 in building. Hope i am wrong and there is a lot more. From my small focus group not much has changed from when i made the original post. This game is huge to get things going in a good direction from a fan engagement standpoint.

You either need smarter friends or the ability to not assume that something is true just because you are told it.
