UConn Assistant Director of Ticket Operations

[BlueMAB]

I didn't even realize that was a thing for tickets. I'm not sure I'd ever consider it, granted there are people that finance couches so maybe I'm in the minority.

Payment plan =/= financing (unless the school charges interest).

If I didn't have to pay interest, there's no downside in paying $120 in 4 $30 installments vs the $120 up front. If the total amount is the same regardless of paying up front or in installments, it's always to your benefit to pay the money later.

I didn’t realize things were quite this bleak.

I guess it doesn’t matter anymore there is no coming back from here.

Maybe they should just start a gofundme.

Isn’t this like paying 60$ for a season ticket basically? And UConn wonders why people don’t want to buy season tickets

They print stuff like this and it’s no wonder everyone is so clueless.

Despite bringing in $83,374,223 — over $20 million more than any other school in the AAC — the department made just $252,403 after expenses. Three AAC schools made more than UConn after expenses, with Houston and USF making upwards of $1 million


‘Bringing in’. ‘MADE’.

Unreal.

What in the world are they talking about

With the ACC’s recent TV deal, Louisville looks to make upwards of $10 million on the contract alone while UConn received just over $7.3 million from the AAC in the last fiscal year. Part of that moeny came from the last of the Big East exit fees that ran out in June.

They have a $60 season ticket too.

and a $105 3 game mini plan.

And the facility surcharge/fees are more than the ticket at this point

A Look At UConn's Top Teams' Attendance, Revenue And Expenses

Honestly how stupid are these people?

. The men’s basketball team earned $3.1 million in per game revenue.


Per game eh?

Are you sure that's right? Did you call or just try to do it online?

Both.

Payment plan =/= financing (unless the school charges interest).

There's no interest or extra fee on it, which is why I'm doing installments. I can afford to pay full boat right now, but they gave me the option to spread it across 3 CC cycles, you better believe I'm gonna take that opportunity.

So would new season ticket buyers. You know, because, they haven't bought before and its an incentive to do so. But what do I know...

Corrected to “The men’s basketball team earned $3.1 million in home game revenue.”... but then they attach wrong article as reference.

Go Courant Go!
