As the Ralph predicted the day the Classic was announced, it has not sold out. The Ralph knows many a red sweater who did not buy tickets to the game for mostly 1) they refuse to go downtown and 2) they believe the XU game should be canceled.

Tickets are available to the general public beginning at 10am tomorrow.

Can I ask why red sweaters won't go downtown? Parking is easier, and as of lately it looks like crime is a lot worse in clifton than downtown.

1) They are afraid of getting mugged 2)they like to sit in their own seat at 5/3rd Arena 3) the ticket prices are too high 4) they do not appreciate that The Freedom Center is getting some of the proceeds.

When you have to donate $1,250 a year for your specific seat, you want to sit in it.
 
Hey Ralph,

Just curious, what kind of seat does that kind of donation get you? How close are you? I wouldn't be able to get season tickets this year anyway, but I was just wondering.

You are very close to the action, first ten rows, at half court. If you want to sit in a chair on the floor with Oscar you get to pay $15,000 for 4 season seats.
