Last night was the first b-ball game I've been to this season. I'm a die-hard fan and loyal UC supporter, but I usually do it from the comfort of my family room...where the beer is free (and on tap btw) and I can play pool during commercials and halftime.

However, as I've stated in other posts this morning, I was rather embarrassed at the lack of fan support (even though quite a few more fans showed up after tip-off), so I'm changing my stripes. I am now devoting myself to becoming part of the solution. I will attend several games next year, and am even considering season tickets for b-ball (if my wife allows the expense :eek:) . That was a great game last night...I look forward to seeing many great games next year.
 
We have a pair of football season tickets. I would personally prefer basketball, but my wife prefers football. In the end, I'm just happy to have a wife that's into sports, so I'll take her to whichever one she wants!
 
I'm currently talking to a few others about season tickets.

I'm justifying the expense as a graduation gift, even though this expense will not be a one time deal.

Can anyone post ticket information? I've been contacted through inbox message with people taunting me about "how much they pay for tickets" and I can assume their tickets if I'm interested. Of course, their tickets are $50,000.00 each...:)

Your profile pic is nasty. I've already complimented you on it, but it brings a smile to my face with every sight.
 
If you are under 30 they have offered a "young proffesionals" discount which reduces your football tickets by 40 %. I am unsure if they are keeping that with the recent changes.

Same for basketball?

Yes. But it required a UCAT membership (100 bucks now) but would still save you money.

Your 100 bucks would cover as many seats as there are in your name. So if you and 4 friends buy tickets you could put all the seats in your name and collectively only pay 100 dollars for a UCAT fee and then whatever tickets costs.

I see the young professional option was recently removed during the update. I have contacted UC marketing to ask what is up.
 
Here are snippets of last year's UCATS brochure. For example, I donated $1250 to UCATS this year, which allowed me to get 2 tickets in Section 121 in Nippert, row 20-something. In addition to the donation I paid $282 for each of the season tickets. So, $1850 when you include parking for the whole season, but most of the donation is tax-deductible.

I act like I'm under 30 but because I'm so damn positive, UC wants to charge me 40 percent more!Sorry about the deja vu drunk post last night. Actually,I'm not too sorry. Hey, this quote came from SWG last night. It's too cold outside to use the hot tub.:eek:

That what another gigantic question that needed answered. Thanks.

Out of curiousity, what would $7400 get me?

SO MUCH. Season tickets for at least 2 for both sports in the best seating tiers for both, with the exception of George Smith Society seating in basketball (midcourt first 20 rows or so).

Seriously, if you're dropping $5000 to $6000, you can have anything you want.

I'm no financial expert, but I think I remember getting a letter from UCATS last year that said 100% of your donation is tax deductible if you don't get a benefit (season tickets etc.), and that 80% of your donation is tax deductible if you do.

Thank you for this response. I had a very arrogant poster on another forum (cough, cough) send me an inbox soliciting "her" tickets because her husband was fed up with Mick Cronin and I could buy them off her for $7,400.00.

I have season tickets with the University of Dayton (I know, I know......but, I'm a current student and both my parents are alums and my entire family lives in Dayton) and pay $1,300 for 2 tickets about 20 rows up.

Needless to say, I thought $7,400 might come with some "special favors" during halftime or something....
 
Alum, I will add the caveat that higher donations allow you the opportunity to buy tickets in the better seating tiers, but maybe this lady's husband has the best seats in that section...front row and center. His/her tickets may fetch that price.

Or he/she could just be an arrogant, self-important fan. Either way.

I think it is a combination of both.............deadly combination.
