We have discussed the issues around student attendance extensively on this board. Not having lived in the area in a number of years, I have never been a season ticket holder and I had some questions for those that are:
1) How many men’s basketball season ticket holders do you think there are?
2) Are there any benefits that season ticket holders receive? Receptions with players and coaches, giveaways, etc.?
3) Was there a noticable uptick in marketing around CJ, Gabe, Holden and two PL titles in 4 years?
4) If you are a season ticket holder in football but not basketball, why not?
I would hope that every football season ticket holder gets hit up for hoop tickets as well. I would also hope that the athletic department gets creative with ways to incentivize fans to purchase season tickets. From afar, it certainly seems like there is minimal effort made to build a season ticket base. It seems to me that a larger season ticket base would increase revenue, bring people closer to the program, and potentially create a little demand for (good) seats at Stabler. The attendance bump last year was certainly nice, but I continue to wonder why our numbers lag behind others in the PL.
