I also loved my seats because of the relationship with all the other season ticket holders around me, but they have literally all left since Cronin took over. I just know 4 or 5 now. It was probably once 30 or 40.

UC basketball is no longer culturally relevant in the city. The UC fans nowadays are recent alumns that think we are a football school. Sad.

Agreed, it's going to take an elite 8 or final 4 run to get the fans back from Xavier, or just get fans to come to the games, but cincy fans are used to doing well in the regular season and not producing in post season, so until that happens I don't see the fan base changing

That being said the first year the new arena is up I'm sure there will be a bump in attendance.

KJ looked solid today

He has a really good attribute, which is he isn't afraid to shoot when things get tight. This has been huge the last 2 games.

I'll say it again. You just keep posting inaccurate statements, I guess hoping that other people who also don't know the facts will just blindly believe what you're saying.

Don't believe for a second that those high priced seats are 100% sold. People are not paying exorbitant dollars to go watch Cronin basketball. Let me tell you a little story. I have a family of 6, a wife and 4 kids. For many many years, I purchased 6 seats and our whole family attended every game. In Cronin's 2nd or 3rd season, the administration delivered one of the dumbest ticket price increases of all times. They told us big donors that we were hoarding all the good seats. They said they were changing the policy and were going to limit us to 4 tickets so that those in the upper deck would have a chance to move to the lower seats. But they also said that if we wanted, we could still purchase those other two seats, but we would have to donate to UCATS a second time. I told them to stick those two tickets up their ass, and many others told them the same thing. Many great fans left the program completely at that point. Many of those seats in our section opened up and have remained unfilled all these years. My 2 seats were bought just one season of the last 8 seasons. They have sat vacant even though I would have loved to have bought them. I told all friends and relatives that if they wanted to go to the game, go buy the cheapest tickets, and then just come down and sit in my vacant 2 premium seats. I've had literally hundreds of takers in 8 years. I would have been gladly paying thousands of dollars for those two seats, but the idiots calling the shots got greedy and stuck it to us and they payed a huge price for it.

As my kids got older and moved out, I eventually only needed 2 seats, but a friend of mine and his wife decided to go in with me and buy the other two seats for the last 20 years. After last season's disappointment, he called me and said that he's done and won't return until Cronin is gone, so now I'm down to 2 seats. Guess what, those 2 seats have been unoccupied for every game. I know they are not sold. The whole row behind me sat empty almost all of last season. People would come down at halftime and snatch them up. There are empty seats everywhere in the bottom 10 rows, and, oh by the way, they don't cost anywhere near the prices you posted. A lot of my friends and relatives are very happy though. They get floor seats for minimum dollars! Go Cats!

I'm not saying I'm right about anything. I just know that I can't purchase any lower level seats for any game. UC tickets site is completely sold out in lower level seats.

That's why I'm asking this; if the seats aren't purchased then why aren't they selling them ? Just can't think of a logical reason why UC would purposely not sell those tickets. If you don't believe me, logon to UC ticket site and try to purchase tickets for Marshall lower level. I can't.

So I'm just trying to understand why? Your answer doesn't explain this

Man, every time I slightly get optimistic about Mick...I get snapped back to reality.

Don't be so sure. These idiots running the show will mistakenly feel that they can price-gouge the hell out of us with the new arena and if Cronin is still at the helm and results haven't changed much, they could lose a lot of fans. I agree, in most circumstances, a new arena will generate interest, but our fans have obviously not taken to Cronin and this situation in Bearcatland is a little different than normal. The last time we did a new arena, we dumped the coach too to start 100% fresh, and we still didn't 't get near a sellout when we opened it up,

Agree on the Elite 8 or Final 4 statement. Disagree with us being unsuccessful in the postseason. We had great postseason success in league tourneys and Huggs record in the NCAA was 20-14 here.....a far cry from Cronin's 4-6 record. But, your post is for the most part accurate.

I bought lower seats for the bgsu game straight off the website on Thursday. 33$ a piece then about 8 bucks fee per ticket.

You'll have to ask UC. The few times that people have shown up in my vacant seats the last 8 years, when I ask them how they got the seats, they have told me they just wenot through the ticket office and got them.

I know interest in our program has virtually disintegrated, but I don't think Besrcat fans are stupid enough to pay thousands for tickets and never use them. However, in the rare situations over the last decade where I can't attend, I have tried to give tickets away and literally found very few takers. So, I guess anything is possible.

Thanks for sharing. As I have said, a lot of false statements are getting posted continuously on here.

LT and the people in the lower level, if you ever can't go, I'll be glad to take them LOL or buy them. I can't pay $33/ tix plus $8 fee tho. I mean there are plenty of us whom would love to sit there. It really is a great view.

We've never even played in the conference title game of a league that supposedly sucks...

The only seats available for bowling green is section 112 and 111. Im referring to the section 103-107 and on the other side 119-123

But since every thinks Im just making shit up, Ill post a about 4 pictures below. I can do this for every single home game..

Literally if you can find seats on Gobearcats.co, with seats available in those sections, Ill pay you 10 extra to snatch me 2 because they aren't available on their site.

PLease show where these tickets are availabe

Just cause it's grey doesn't mean none are available. Select the section then it will ask how many you want. Then buy them. May not have more than two or three together though.

A sprain being a serious injury is a myth. With many sprains, it can be fully healed in days. 4-6 week outlook that someone posted about is uncommon.

Completely wrong....

 

[GoCats88]

Completely wrong....

Right never sprained an ankle I see, a sprained ankle can keep you from doing a lot in basketball.

 

[jds513]

Completely wrong....

In this case, it's not wrong. If it's a bad sprain, meaning a bad tear in the ligament, then yeah it can be serious. You can technically have a minorly sprained ankle and be fine in just a few days. Cronin said in the postgame that he sprained his ankle. You'll see. It's not a 4-6 week outlook.

Its says ZERO available.

Then if I zoom in, Every single lower leaver ticket is gone. Can I ask what section you bought the other day?
