UConn Football Sees Major Gains in Season Ticket Holder Satisfaction

[pepband99]

@pepband99 where in 242 do you guys sit?

...close enough to know that riff-raff like me aren't allowed there, per the seating police.

LMFAO...they don't even check tickets in that section...that's where my seats are

"they" meaning the meatheads might not, but certain seat holders take offense at infidels from 241 and elsewhere invading their precious blue chairs.

I've said too much...

It's probably the seat donation...2 seats run us around $900/yr .

We sit in 240, on about the 15-20 yard line behind the opponents team and right near their travelling fans. Decent seats, but 2nd level and a bit towards a corner. I figured if these have a seat donation then every seat must. I will mention this to the group leader as it could be the perfect solution for us. I would like to hit some hoops and hockey games, but season tickets for football kind of saps my non-golf money. Freeing up a few bucks allows that. As a group we only did 1 hockey game this past season and no hoops.

I would add that you can buy "Young Alumni" seats for $112. Not a Young Alumnus? Don't think it matters. I've bought them before for other people and they don't check.

We sit in 241 - right next to the chairbacks. They will kick you out of the chairbacks most of the time if you wander in there...

Class of '90, so not young anymore. Of my group of 6-8, I'm the only alumnus. A couple drank a lot at UConn and should get some kind of honorary note, but that's as close as they got.

I'm 45 and I bought them - there is no proof required. So if you just want to save money...

They improved the beer selection. Now they need to put a Two Roads stand on my side of the field and lose the Harpoon,

I'd like NEBCO to get a kiosk.

I'm sure they could get in there if they wanted to.

Our tickets, with the obnoxious seat donation ($100) and parkings costs would be $400 per guy. That's $57 per game.

I don't understand the hang-up about seat donation. What's the bottom line price per seat? Is it worth it to you or not? Who cares how they get to that number?

If you want to save a few bucks, I would go for those seats above the student section. Only $25. per. End zone seats don't require a donation.

The part that's in 241.

Rows 4 and 5

 

[UCFBfan]

There's always Top of the Rent tickets. I believe they still have those, right? Used to buy season tickets that way all the time. Our seats were in the end zone but I liked them. I prefer the second deck so you can see everything develop.

You guys must sit right behind the guy who has the Sio Moore Raiders jersey...I sit in 242 row 5 on the opposite aisle

Chill out there Geordi. No sense jumping ugly with me and making assumptions. I support my university in a number of ways and that's all you need to know. My commentary is about bang for my buck. Just because I love my school doesn't mean I have to spend bad money on it. There's no way on Earth I would pay $57 for a game like Maine if it wasn't included in the package. I'm also not looking forward to Tulane or UCF. The rest of the home schedule is OK, but outside of Syracuse is really lacking in must see games for me. I'd rather cherry pick a few games and go to more basketball or hockey games as I think that would be a better use of my sporting money.

My season tix are $25 per game and no seat donation. Not a chair back. We bring in a stadium chair and have a great view in section 207

 

[HuskyBandDad]

What will ticket prices be when we get in P5? I am sure mine will not be $25 for long.

They are definitely going up this year because of the ticket surcharge being added to pay for athletic facility upgrades. As for P-5 pricing..I can see the prices going from $25 to $45 and the chair backs going from $45 to $65.

If we are P5 playing a corresponding schedule then I won't complain about paying more for a better product.

Last year, they sent out a questionnaire and addressed the thing most important to UConn fans while the product was bad: more tailgating. For good measure, they also won more games. This year, we get the extra tailgating and a MUCH better product and much better home schedule. Sure hope it translates into a very good uptick in season ticket sales.

My tickets are still $25 for this coming season. If renewed online by March 31 they waive the $20 order fee.
