STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT

They dont want to make the regular season ticket holders pay-up earlier than normal.

I think if you want to be a new season ticket holder you reserve a spot (possibly w a small deposit) and will get your choice after season ticket holders based on pts and for remaining non-pt folks when you got on the list.

No big deal

Exactly. You put down $25 for each seat you would like. The ticket office will call you after season ticket holders have renewed.

Just think, during football season ponyfans were trying to scrape up money for billboards ourselves! What a difference a few months make. B E $ sure have made a things exciting.

I just bought football season tickets for the first time this year. Can those of you who have been ticket holders for a while give me a rough idea of the pricing for basketball? I just started a new job and am working on the budget so not sure if I can do both this year, but sure would love to if I can.

Happy to help:

The OO, LL, MM (retractable blue seats) are $360 per seat but expect those to go up.

The sidelines seats (mainly the older stiff folding blue chairs) are $180 per seat. They might see a small increase.

The baseline seats (behind the backboards) are $90 per seat. They probably will stay the same.

Thanks, Mitch. That definitely helps. Is there a similar Mustang Club requirement like there is for Football in terms of what seats you can select, or do the points just go to priority if you want to select a section/change a section?

[Mitch McConnell]

No Mustang Club donation like there is in football. However, the ticket office is taking a $25 per seat deposit so you can get on the list of prospects. For example, if you want four seats, you pay $100 now and whatever section you choose, that deposit will be applied for the purchase. You would owe the balance.

There will be pick a seat function at Moody sometime in June. I think once the season ticket holders (about 700 of them are established), you can come over and see where you want to sit.

Two buddies of mine and I are each doing a seat and will be sitting together. We're looking forward to it.

Plus, it's a good idea to do it now because you would be on the priority list to renew for 2013-14 season when Big East play starts.

Actually, I think there is a Mustang Club donation required for the middle section of seats on the north side (across from the benches), at least there was 5 years ago when I decided to buy my seats on the south side.

[Mitch McConnell]

You may be right. Just relaying how it was with me. MC was not mentioned.

[Grant Carter]

It was a pretty small donation if I recall correctly. I just chose the south side because there were better seats available.

Awesome

I expect that there will be a lot more excitement this next bball season and hence a much better attendance. Let's show coach Brown and his staff that we really do care.

You may be right. Just relaying how it was with me. MC was not mentioned.

When I called a couple of weeks ago for tickets, contributions to MC will determine pecking order, but that should not surprise anyone.
