Quote from: stereaxWoke up at 5:30 today to ensure I'd be alive by 6 to begin the Eternal Refresh for season tickets. Plaace your bets on what time between 6 and 10 am they will drop.

Whoa! When you first said you were setting your alarm for 5:30, I thought you were doing so to get in line and sleep overnight, to be able to buy tickets that wouldn't be sold yet for a few days.

Are you saying that now it's just done remotely?

Haha. Yeah. The answer was actually like 6:15, which was in line with last year. Interestingly, they didn't have the offer of women's season tickets for $20 with the purchase of men's like they did last year. I'm going to write BRTix later this week and ask if there's still a discounted rate. Probably not $20, we did hit the W Frozen Four last year, but even like $50 would be a nice saving.

Blast email today that 10% of season tickets are still left.

Also, checked the women's tickets because I was gonna bite the bullet. Discounted rate of $30 for women's with purchase of men's. Let's gooooo.

I mention this because it was written nowhere and I didn't think the promo was active this year. So for anyone on the forums who might be lurking... 1) hi and 2) check it out

Is that student season tickets or all season tickets? Also, do they mark off certain sections for season tickets versus single-game? 10% seems high but not sure what it means.

Based on the number of season tickets available for general public purchase, must be 10% of student tickets. There are season ticket seats available for purchase in every section, with just a few in L and M and more in the other sections.

Yeah. A-B-C are season, I think, and D-E are single game tickets?

What a change from my grad school days, when we lined up at 5 am, and later, spent the night in Barton Hall.

As has been discussed on this forum, the ability to stream games surely has impacted the season ticket sales.

Freshman year, three days on line. I won't say this is "worse," how could one compare?, but I have a fond memory.

Eh. I have a hard time believing this is a major cause. It may affect out-of-towers from making the trip to Ithaca, but I doubt many who live close by are spending their nights at home streaming the games. The quality of the streams is just so much worse than attending in-person. The only people watching the streams are hardcore fans who would attend in-person if they could.

They should reduce ticket prices if they want more people to attend. It's just simple economics.

BearLover · September 15, 2025, 03:22:49 PM

Things that I don't think are causing poor attendance:
—team success (great team success continues to coincide with poor attendance)
—streaming (only the hardcore fans stream)

Things that I do think are causing poor attendance:
—change in student/adolescent culture (kids want to stay in, smoke weed, play video games, browse their cell phones)
—ticket prices (this is just simple economics; if you want more people to buy, then lower prices)

They could try selling more beer at the games too.

Tickets are cheap, I dont think selling them for $10 vs $20 makes a difference. Its not like lowering the price is going to bring in twice as many people.

Concessions I think many places have found that lower prices brings in more money. Fountain drinks vs bottles brings in more money as well.

$400 season tickets is a lot for most locals.

Don't need to bring in twice as many people, just 10% more. Goal is to fill the rink, not earn the biggest profit possible. Better atmosphere=better program=more money in the long run.
