Got an email from Ticketmaster seemingly offering single game tickets.
Looked up National Marquette day and booked 4 tickets against Uconn section 108 for 1550.00....
Didn't pull the trigger but wondering if this is legit.
Was it gomarquette.com or was it resale on TM?
Went on Ticketmaster but they tie into your MU account?...confused because normally single game tickets are supposedly available to season ticket holders first.
Single game tickets are being bought by STH this week Tuesday - Friday. I am assuming this weekend or early next week what is left goes to the general public.
That sounds like resale to me. Single game tickets are not yet available on gomarquette, only season and mini-plans.

It is resale for sure
Actually the price was my first clue...
Can STH buy single-game tickets yet? I thought I saw on gomarquette that they wouldn't be until next week, a day or two before the general public has access.
The window for purchasing is open this week, with general time slots yesterday, today, tomorrow depending on priority point level. Problem is, they said last week that they'd send an email early this week with STH specific timeslots. I've seen no such email.
This same thing has happened the entire off season. Every time they said "We will email you by x date" they have been lately literally EVERY time. Very frustrating. I have no idea when my window opens tomorrow... just that the general window for my priority point level is tomorrow.
Anyway... rant over. To answer original question, STHs can buy single game this week.

Same here. I called ticket office yesterday.....gave him my account #(STH for 30 years) guy said we dont have that account....i said try again...oh yeah here it is!
He said your time slot is Thursday....I said when on Thursday???? He said try 10 am.... Weak sauce
The ticket office has been a mess. They farmed out much of it to Learfield and they have had a revolving door. Our group chose to upgrade seats this year, and it could not have been a more inconvenient process. And two of us never had the switch made, so our chosen seats were marked as available when season tix went on sale to the public. It got resolved, but still the worst it has been in my 18 years of having season tickets.
Also if you want to buy parking for the season, that will be a minimum $5000 donation.

Similar mess with the mini-plans. It seems they were tweaking the plans almost right up until the time they went on sale and were uncertain about when they would be ready even in the week they went on sale. Seemed very chaotic and disorganized. I'd call to make sure I was going to be available when they went on sale and no one seemed to have a definitive answer.
Communication has been bad. You have to figure out for yourself when your appointment is based on how many points you have, or had at the end of June. Then, log in at that time and hope for the best.
And, while they're at it, the Athletic Dept should do an audit of the Priority Point system. Way too many ppl buying tickets using the points of their parents or grandparents! It needs to stop.
It's almost impossible to even see what a Mini Plan costs until you have it in your cart. The best games were excluded from the Mini Plans, one marquee game was replaced by a Buy game, and from what I can tell, the pricing has increased greatly on them. I don't believe they are selling many, but maybe that is by design.
I received an email last week that I could purchase single game tickets at 10:00 am today. I logged in on the gomarquette site at 10:15 and saw no single tickets for sale. At 10:30 am I received another email offering to sell single tickets. I logged back in and was able to secure four tickets to the UW game in section 223. I saw one lonely seat available in the lower bowl. I recall that one could see how his or her points were calculated. Now I guess you have to call in and ask.

Their what?
Don't you understand? it's obvious! The being owned by them was reselling by-season ticket accounts.
It's after 10:00 am, when I was supposed to be able to buy single game and there's no option in the Ticketmaster account for anything other than additional season tickets or the Mini-Plans. Anyone else in the 500-1500 range able to make single game purchases?

Nope, on hold with the ticket office now.
Guessing they're swamped, the ticket office took a message from me and disconnected.
STH here, I just picked for single tickets - UConn and Bucky games are sold out. Purdue is 95% sold. I was not able to get any single tickets that I wanted.

So I can access every game now other than UW and UConn through the link in the email they sent out.

This is correct - and most of the better games - Purdue and Creighton are 95% sold out as well - Just upper level last few rows available.
That entire process was a mess.
Quote from: Litehouse on October 24, 2024, 10:37:06 AM

Yes it is - the only way to by single game tickets is to click the email link - they do not have the single game tickets available in the "buy tickets" section of our accounts enabled - at least for me.
St Johns March 8th - sold out as well now.
Quote from: Litehouse on October 24, 2024, 10:37:06 AM
That entire process was a mess.
100%. Clicking on UW or UConn kicked you back to your account "Buy tickets" screen with no presale option listed. Why not just open the virtual venue thing and say "No tickets available?"
Also the parking thing... You have to purchase each game in an individual transaction, with roughly $15 in TM added on. It was a nice luxury to have but not when most of the schedule is going to be almost $60/game if you buy in advance.
I'm sure I'll just get more "eVeRyThInG MaRqUeTtE dOeS iS fInE" responses, but this whole process is one more reason why I so often find myself frustrated with Marquette's fan outreach the past few years. Honestly, I would say since the 2016-17 season it's been a slow downhill roll in terms of taking care of the fans. Here's my experience:
- Oct 17: Receive email that single game tickets will be available through My Marquette account on 10/24 at 10:00 am, but I will get a follow-up email.
- Oct 24, 9:45 am: Log into My Marquette Account. There is no option to purchase so I set an auto-refresh.
- I do not have my personal email open because I'm at work, so blame that on me.
- 10:05 am: There is still no option on my Account, so I call and leave a message with the ticket office.
- 10:27 am: See Mufan12's post (from 10:20) about the email they sent out. I open my personal email and see they sent a new email at 9:49 am with a single-game tickets link.
- 10:29 am: See that UConn and Bucky are sold out. No worries, kind of expected that, but would've been nice to have more than 11 minutes notice on an email when the beginning of the selection period is right in the middle of the work day.
- 10:31 am: Log in to buy 'Nova tickets. Trying to get a group of 6. I search and find 6 uppers together in 222, Row 6. They are $75 each with a $110/ticket donation fee. I put them in my cart but do not purchase because $1,110 seems like a lot for uppers.
- 10:35 am: Check Stubhub and see 6 uppers in 222, Row 6 for $96 each to the same 'Nova game.
- 10:36 am: Close My Marquette Account.
As Litehouse said, the entire process was a mess. Late notification, poor fan outreach, and when you can finally buy tickets they are double the cost you spend on resale websites in order to juice the donations? The $660 donation fee for 6 seats to one game in the uppers is more than my entire Season Ticket Holder annual donation is currently in the front row of my section in the lowers.
This is the kind of stupid crap that is just frustrating as a fan trying to support the program and insure these seats are used by people who will help improve the home court advantage. Rather than providing a benefit for the most loyal fans who renew STs every year, they are giving their most loyal fans a disservice by price gouging them.
But hey, STH sales are up and Learfield is happy, so everything is good, amirite? ::)
Better team, more winning, higher demand, higher prices. At least MUBB is not doing what Uconn is doing - in order to buy a "marquee game" you also have to purchase a buy game at the same time.
I should say, not doing it yet.

If it was this straight forward, I'd say fine. I expect to pay more for a better product. However STHs should not pay more for single-game tickets in a special purchasing window than you pay on StubHub for better seats that are already on the market.
On-court improvement shouldn't mean that fan amenities and care are reduced.

I agree Brew - I looked again and its nearly $400 for the 2nd to last row for a game for a BE game (2 tix) - Bucks champ tix were cheaper.
I'm fully aware of the cost of doing business to compete at this level. But what Brew said about the Nova tickets is just a bonkers amount of greed. The $75 ticket itself isn't far off what the Bucks would charge for that seat. But $110 on top of it? C'mon.
Learfield's director just left, and they lost a rep without really replacing him. Everything about the operation has been disorganized and seemingly rushed, even though MU has successfully done this for years.
They're just not prepared to scale up with the success of the men's basketball program. And if they are going to charge marquee prices the experience, especially as a long term STH, needs to match it.
I think it was a bit naive to not expect some gouging in the NIL era. The universities were always going to try to maintain their share. If the players are now getting dollars from NIL collectives that are funded by money that was previously going to the universities this was very foreseeable. I say this as a fan of NIL. The pot of money was always going to have to increase.
I can see complaints about inefficiencies in the systems that lead to frustration from fans legitimately trying to participate in expanding the pot. But you can't support NIL and complain about gouging. Well you can, but it's not realistic.

When comparable or better seats are already available on StubHub for half the price? You've got to be kidding me. If Marquette wants to add a "donation fee" and an "NIL revenue sharing" fee, then do it, but the seats on StubHub were sold originally through the STH process or through the Mini-Plan process. Either way, the buyer didn't have to pay these fees or they would be charging significantly more.
Again, I bought my two lowers with a combined $610 donation fee. That's for 32 tickets over 16 home games, an average $19.06 donation fee per ticket.
Marquette is now asking for a $110 donation fee per ticket for seats that are in the upper deck? That's more than a 500% increase! You want to tack $20-25 on per seat, fine, but if this is going to be a special window for STHs, I shouldn't be able to go buy better tickets for half the price on the secondary market before my window even opens.
This sounds like a bit of a Dutch auction thing going on. If someone is willing to buy at that price, then fine. But they'll put them out to the general public and get more of a "market rate" evenutally. On the one level, it is greedy. But they are trying to capture the profits that the resale market currently captures instead.

I agree with this - but the driver of these prices is the success of the team. MUBB is not taking away STH benefits and charging these prices with a mid-tier BE team like we had under Wojo.
I have a friend who is a UConn ticket holder - he donated $15,000 last year and that was not enough money to have the ability to purchase Big east tournament tickets or qualify him for any NCAA tickets.
When a team is successful, they can charge whatever the demand is. Question is, what happens when we have a down year and the interest level is not high? MU is being extremely greedy this year and without question these are the second most expensive tickets in the conference behind UConn, without the UConn success - does that affect the purchasing of tickets when we have a down year?

I think this is probably what's happening. They're trying to make sure they don't miss out on any value. And I never said it wasn't greedy. I said it was foreseeable
Hey, is anyone p1ssed???
Correction - these are the highest priced upper deck seats in the BE conference. I can get a single game at Gampel against St John's for $152 out the door. And that also gives me a UConn football game as well along with the bball ticket.

What you are suggesting is that Marquette would need to forego some revenue today (be less greedy), in order that it doesn't lose some hypothetical future revenue in the future.
My guess is that Marquette knows that winnnig versus losing is what drives renewals, so its going to capture as much revenue it can when times are good.

Add me to the pissed list. Like I said, this entire thing has been a mess. I do not blame them for high prices... have at it! Get all you can for the program and let the market figure it out.
What has me absolutely frustrated right now (and all summer, during each step of the process) has been the utter failure of communication.
Changing up the packges? Cool. Making pre-paid parking a game by game thing? Fine. Change how you make the purchases? Change happens... ok!
HOWEVER... they DO. NOT. COMMUNICATE. ANY. OF. THIS.
I generally block my schedule out for order windows. I have made plans assuming I could get parking all year. I go into order and the single games don't show up like they should, or at least how you think they would.
To top it off, the few things they have communicated have been SO late. I wish I knew who to even complain to, but i don't... so I'm venting here instead and I fully expect everyone to back me up and agree with all my frustrations. >:(
All I have to say is, for the sake of the team, it's a good thing this disaster took place during such a high demand year. If this was during the low interest period from a couple years ago, I imagine it would have had a very dramatic impact.
Something is wrong or someone is looking at something wrong. There is not donation fee's on single game tickets.

Good lord! Anyone check out the prices for parking?
I assumed it would be the normal astronomical prices... but since you have to purchase them through ticketmaster, it tacks on $7.90 service fee, a $6.00 processing fee, and $3.79 in taxes that (if you bought it on site) normally would be included.
You've got to be kidding me! $18 extra for the luxury of pre-paying for parking :o

There sure is a donation on single game tickets. You have to get to the last step on the check out process and it pops up. I have video and screenshots of it and asked my other STH friends if they are seeing the same, and they are.
I didn't get the donation thing.

So it appears different people are getting the donations added and some aren't. Makes the experience of purchasing even better.
Update - I am no longer seeing the donation added on - it appears they got rid of it and my guess is it was an error on MU and Leerfeild

Well in this case the "price" is the same, but since they changed HOW you purchase it, there's now all kinds of extra costs not included in the "price" per se.
You have a point though, this is basically just paying higher market demand prices. But since I'm guessing there is little/no benefit to MUBB, it's more of the theme that they're providing less services and fewer benefits, while adding costs and hassles onto their STH's that don't need to exist (rather than it being a market pricing thing).

This was me earlier trying to get 2 Nova upper deck seats 2nd to last row.
I think trying to capture the secondary ticket market $ and at the same time disgusting STH so that they don't buy extra tickets is possibly by design. If non-STH want to pay those prices MU should find a way to capture that revenue instead of letting STH who already have their tickets sell their extras and making that $ that MU used to pass on.
Now that there is so much interest, single game tickets are not going to be so easy.

Understandable, but in my case, I buy extras as gifts for Christmas and birthdays and don't sell anything on open market.
I talked to someone who said the fee was an error. Looking at it, I think they applied the season-long donation to every individual seat. When I log in now it's been corrected, but that's irrelevant because I no longer need the seats. The MU fans I was buying them for made purchases on the secondary market instead of spending $185/ea for tickets they could get at just over half the price on StubHub.
It's good the fees have been removed, but how you get to Day 3 of your sale before recognizing and correcting this issue is beyond me. In addition, I left a message more than 4 hours ago and haven't received a return call. That's just poor customer service.

Uhhhhh.... if y'all struck out earlier you may wanna log back on. Even UW and UConn still available.
Playing UConn...at night...on National Marquette Day...
Could tickets for that game end up being the most expensive in program history?
One amazing thing was just a few short years ago, cheap Marquette tickets were as plentiful as snowflakes in Milwaukee in February.
What a difference a good coach makes!

Don't see any way it can't be. I think UConn last year would be the current most expensive ticket to date?
Other possible candidates, Gameday vs Pitt, one of the Wisconsin games with Badger fans driving up demand, Mr. Novak introducing us to UConn and the BEast (although I believe that was a weeknight so probably not). Of course all those were at the BMO with a larger supply so probably one of the recent UConn games at the forum.
The BE opener wasn't a sellout.
The game in 2009 against UConn was a real hot ticket as well, with both teams in the top 10.
Just checked and it's down to a few hundred seats left for Purdue, UW, Creighton, and UConn. St. John's is sold out.
Not sure why those tickets for UW and UConn weren't available yesterday until the evening, but if you ran into issues and still want tickets, check today.
Us peasants in the 1500+ points rank can't buy single game seats yet this morning. More problems.
I just got tickets for UW and UConn, and there were about 30 left for each game.
Picked up a few extra for the Nova game. No issues with the donation or whatever seems to be appearing for others.
Did it on a macbook with chrome, if that makes any difference.

Thought about some of these, but ticket prices now are significantly higher than 15-20 years ago so I didn't think those would register.

I just got tickets for UW and UConn, and there were about 30 left for each game.
I bought 4 extra single game tickets together for UW, UCONN & Creighton Fri morning at 10:15. Uppers for about $65/ticket on My Marquette Account. Had to click the secret button in the secret email to make them available to me. And, No extra fees. What a cluster!!! Ticket office needs to get their act together.
Still can't get an access code to get the complimentary STH non-conf bonus tickets, but I'm not going to worry about it. Just glad I got 4 extras for UCONN, UW and Creighton.

Playing UConn...at night...on National Marquette Day...
Could tickets for that game end up being the most expensive in program history?
Unless MU is struggling I'd say almost certainly.

The access code is the email associated with your account. I had to read that section of the email a few times. Should be on the webpage.
Why no season parking passes? And parking was crazy expensive.
Couldn't get single game tickets, glad the system starting working later or on Friday. So no extra single game seats for us.
Overall, another frustrating season ticket sale experience.

The access code on Fevo for your complimentary tickets is just your email address on file with the ticket office.

Can STH buy single-game tickets yet? I thought I saw on gomarquette that they wouldn't be until next week, a day or two before the general public has access.
I am a 47 year STH. I walked into the McGuire Center this past week ( Wed Oct 23) and purchased single game tickets for 7 separate games; paid for them; and walked out 15 minutes later.

Thanks. I live a long way from the McGuire Center, though. Thankfully, a STH friend was able to hook me up for the UConn game.
We Are Marquette!

Another set of evidence of why this internet thing is never going to fully takeoff.

Why didn't you walk out right after you paid?
Now I know why their service is so bad for the rest of us... so busy dealing with people just hanging around!
Checked KenPom to see what other games were on February 1 to see if we had an outside shot at College Gameday now that they've shown they are willing to do FOX games.
7 Kansas State at 11 Baylor
15 North Carolina at 2 Duke
Damn it.
That's fine. Basketball gameday kinda sucks.

It's too bad they don't wait until the week before to select the location like football does.
Not sure, why it can't be done like that.

UNC and Duke could both be unranked & sub-.500 and GameDay would still go there.

Literally made me laugh. Good catch.
