Re: URIMBB Season Tix - KB who’s in?
Why the negativity. When you have a registered event, there is always many no shows. Maybe URI did not plan for excess or maybe they experienced a higher than average number of no-shows. The upstairs at Mews is narrow and cramped not a great venue for a crowded event.Rhody15 wrote: ↑7 months agoIt’s funny but also sad how poorly URI seems to do the easiest of things.section(105) wrote: ↑7 months agoYes, correct.

And don't even get me started on the freaking parking there ... I would say (w/o knowing how many registrants there were) that even a $5 donation to the Athletic fund as a requirement to register...would have probably eliminated most of the "registered" no-shows.Obadiah wrote: ↑7 months agoWhy the negativity.

Re: URIMBB Season Tix - KB who’s in?
I think you're right. If they expect a sellout they should have a token donation like $5. It won't stop anyone from going but it will stop people from just signing up figuring if they end up not being able to make it who cares, it was free. It cares to the people not able to sign up and I'm sure the coaches would rather a full houseNYGFan_Section208 wrote: ↑7 months agoAnd don't even get me started on the freaking parking there ...

We already renewed our 4 tickets to MBB and 2 tickets to WBB. And we are not alumni, but die hard fans of the program.

Re: URIMBB Season Tix - KB who’s in?
In, both tickets. Update edit. Renewed yes. However the taking in the games will for me have a different feel casting my eyes over the floor with realization the landscape has changed. The players are being openly paid and not giving a shit about Ole State U. The feel for me will be different.

Re: URIMBB Season Tix - KB who’s in?
We missed a lot of games this year and with all the departures we considered not renewing. We’ve been season ticket holders since the Ryan Center opened. However babysitting duties will reduce and we want to give Archie another to show an improved year. We’ve also committed a small amount every month to Rhody Excellence.

Re: URIMBB Season Tix - KB who’s in?
I renewed last week for season 28. My 2 boys ages 6 and 4 really got into things last season now that they understand things better. They are going to be disappointed though when they see the turnover on the roster. They had every player and number memorized. Hopefully the new players lead to more wins and therefore more excitement.

Re: URIMBB Season Tix - KB who’s in?
While I'm no longer a season ticket holder (I relinquished a couple of years after moving to Boston and it became a waste of money to buy season tickets for 3 games I could actually make), I was from after graduation until around 2004. That last season with the $99 end zone package was ideal for my situation. Once that price increased by 250% (if my math is correct - it went from $99 to $349 or from ridiculously underpriced to ridiculously overpriced), I was out. But I still did 2 - 5 games a year. I did wane at the end of the Baron era as I was sick of disappointment. Then kids and covid made it so I haven't been to the Ryan Center since March of 2020. I did attend a couple of road games over the past few years.
Hopefully I'll be back soon (dying to take my girls to a game!)

Re: URIMBB Season Tix - KB who’s in?
While important as to who is in or out on season ticket purchases, it is also important to know to what percentage of the Ryan Center's capacity makes an ideal size season ticket size or goal. And what is the current size of season ticket holders and how has that number trended over the last ten years.
i'm assuming that the numbers do not bode well otherwise this info would be common knowledge, but I hope I am wrong.

Moved to NC so no more season tickets. Made 4 games last year and will try to do the same this year. Depends on the schedule.

Re: URIMBB Season Tix - KB who’s in?
Other than to keep some streak alive or to guarantee you have the seats you like, there's really not a good reason to buy season tickets if all you want to do is go to games (that's my qualifier there). You'll be able to buy the cheapest seats for any game a la carte and then sit pretty much in any section you want - minus the floor (maybe)...
If you feel it supports the program to buy one or more season tickets, go for it.

If you buy season tickets, is that a vote of confidence/acceptance in what's happening with the team?
