I will not be. Curious how others are feeling. This assumes no coaching change is made.

I will not be renewing if Wojo is the coach.

I'm also expecting a price increase after a year without fans.

I did not go to a home game (at Butler only) in the 19-20 season. Will not next year unless new coach.

Leaning yes. My daughter has been asking to go to a game all year. If she has interest in the game I love, I want to nurture that as much as I can.

But really, this program is just so important to me, and it has been since a young age. It's a common bond with family members, and helped me make friends who have become like family. It would have to get really, really bad for me to give that up.

I'm renewing.  I've been a STH since the 1st year at the BC (I was on a waiting list at MECCA before that), and the games are a fun thing for me to get out and do in winter.  Through thick and thin it's still a fun outing for me.

I'd like to renew

But this has gotten really UGLY.

And the FF is not likely to be a pleasant place next year.  The students have turned on Wojo ... the Admin seems not to care .... prices are getting outrageous

At least we all saved $$ this year

If we have a new coach, I will get season tickets for the first time ever. I'll dance into the Fiserv every game I can make it to.

I wish i lived in milwaukee and was a season ticket holder just so I could cancel.

Not a season ticket holder. Had weekend tickets until I began spending my winters in Florida.

That said, I go out of the way to get to a few games a year, in Milwaukee when I am back and on the road when I am in Chicago on business or they are nearby.

I grew up with MU Basketball and I love it. Was on campus in 1977 when......

But if the Administration doesn't care, I'll go if it's convenient. Something has to be done to force change and if we don't have a new coach, then there has to be changes on the coaching staff, changes in direction and changes in focus. We need to be the nastiest SOBs on the block next year and take no prisoners. We aren't now.

Considering I paid for the tickets already, yes.  A half empty arena will make lines shorter, but the atmosphere will be pathetic.

Got rid of em after 2016. Demand for MU ball games will be at an all time low in the coming years. Wouldn't be surprised if you could walk up to the box and just pick up excellent side court lowers for face value on any given night. Also, the student section will be cut in half at least to account for plummeting student interest. Dark days ahead.

Should seriously consider renovating the Al and trying to get that to 8-10k seats. That will be more than enough.

I honestly don't know. I expect I'll buy 1-2 uppers to keep my points going, even if they don't mean what they once do. I'm more interested in getting back to the Al to see Duffy's team than spending more time and money watching a Wojo-coached team.

Would be interesting to see the same vote 3 months from now after emotions settle down.

If I still lived in Milwaukee, I would still be getting season tickets for these same reasons. MU hoops is in my blood and it kills me that they are doing better, but I can't imagine being in town and not going to the games.

I'm renewing. It's a great way to see friends during the middle of winter. Personally, hard to be super disappointed with this season, with everything going on in the world. Just more apathy about MUBB then anything else.

This is me - I have 1 upper (cheapest available) just to keep the points.  Any game I would go to with the family I will be getting on the cheap due to low demand.

The silver lining - great seats on the cheap. (Yeah, I'm reaching....)

My Grandfather had season tickets and our Family has had them ever since, so we will Renew. But Am a bottom line person and Marquette with the Money Spent in the Top 7 and Attendance in the Top 10 needs to Win.

Yes, we WILL be getting our 4 season tix in the lower bowl ! ! !  We WILL renew our Season Tix for the MU Lady Warriors ! ! !  We are Alums !!!   We are TRUE FANs !!!  We Support the team, and MU ! ! !   We also supported the Green Bay Packers in the '70's and '80's thur some truly $hitty teams.  Its part of being a TRUE fan ! ! ! We liv win Milw..  The weather isn't always FAIR ! ! !  We have storms of all kinds ! ! ! We survive and so will Marquette ! ! !   GO WARRIORS ! ! !

In 3 months key players may have departed early or recruits may have asked for releases. It goes both ways the passage of time - see 2019 as a recent example.

The idea that you're not a "true fan" or don't support the team through thick and thin if you wouldn't renew your season tickets is arrogant and insulting. Complacency breeds mediocrity and unchanged spending and support patterns signals "this is fine" from a fan base. Speaking with a lack of wallet activity is one of the few weapons, outside of booing, that a fan has to send a message to an administration or front office.

Renew you season tickets if you want, that's fine, we all love this program and want it to be great again. But don't act like some superior class of fan or supporter

As for emotions settling after 3 months, this isn't some heartbreaking last second tourney loss that's still very raw.  This is the culmination of months of ineptitude and frustration

Yep.

Sure. Yet, in three months from now is around the time a decision might have to be made. I would hope people wouldn't make it at 4pm today.

Yep. Didn't say it wasn't.

If we could somehow average out your location in Michigan and mine in Minnesota, we might instantaneously appear at the Fiserv on gamedays.

If only we had a quantum physicist to figure that out...

Been a season ticket holder close to 35 years now, fan for 57 years.

Depend on friends who i share tickets with..if they still want to go I'll get them, if not ...probably not.

Can we trade rosters & staff with UWM next year? Then people would be excited

Make it so.

Definitely. And I'll still support them and root for them each game. But I don't need to continue to attend under the current staff. Tickets will be cheap if I want to get to a game or two.

I do genuinely like the kids on the team so maybe I'll reconsider. I'm imagining the boos, the environment, if the environment is going to be more hostile than fun then I'm not sure I want to attend.

Being a true fan is part of the reason this is a difficult decision. I want what's best for Marquette basketball, and I have absolutely zero doubt that is the dismissal of Steve Wojciechowski as head coach of the Men's team. And while might voice might be small and donations not as consequential as some others, ending them or cutting them to the smallest amount I need to make to retain points might be the biggest statement I can make. Especially if the ticket goes unused, the concessions and other money remains unspent, and the program has to adapt to that small piece of suffering. If it's just me, it won't do anything. But if there are 1,000 like me, maybe it will. If there are 5,000 like me, it certainly will.

Wojo need to go...7 years and he's regressing as a coach, not evolving in the least. Do the Wojo supporters think that in year 8 he's suddenly going to turn the corner. Should've happened long before now. He's completely clueless and can't make sensible in game adjustments, and the mistakes - turnovers - just keep occurring. Am I missing something, am I watching MU hoops, but seeing a different game? There's talent, but even at the pro level talent requires coaching. The program is at rock bottom, and the guy who got it there is not the guy who's going to turn it around...he's no capable!

The program sucks, but I will go see the team play Seton Hall at the Rock and St. Johns at the Garden while I still can. I'll be 75 next year and hope to see us competitive again in the not to distant future, but with the current administration I don't have my hopes set to high.

Don't get me wrong, I would fire Wojo today if the decision were mine.  He's lost my support. 

But I'm still going to renew my tickets and go to as many games as I can fit into my schedule whether he's still here next year (ugh) or not.  It's my team and it's still fun for me to go to games.  I've been a Packer fan since the '70s and '80's when they sucked.  I've been a Brewers fan throughout their existence.  Sure, the games are a lot more fun when my team is winning games and especially having postseason success, but they're still fun when the team sucks.

Sorry if I'm "sending the wrong message to the Administration" by not withholding my money, but I'm still gonna support my team.

See you there! I'll be doing the same...throwing in Providence at the Dunk and UCONN at the XL center (the trashiest, least tech savvy and most rundown arena on the East Coast) for good measure!

Absolutely not. 30+ year season ticket holder.  Will not support a team lead by Wojo.  No winning culture, no identity, no improvement.  I think he is more of a friend of the players than an authoritarian leader.  Kids need tough love, Wojo coddles them with hugs

I've had enough

I will be renewing mine. This year highlighted how much we count on events like sporting events, movies, etc. for enjoyment and entertainment. Our two daughters who live in the area (both alumni) alternate going to games with me and we enjoy the outings. The games are more exciting and enjoyable when the team is competing for conference championships and NCAA berths but, at least for now, we'll keep going. But, there is a point where we would lose interest.
