Maybe I'm wrong, but have single game tix prices gone way up? Can't get in the door against Brent for less than 68 bucks. I'm OK with that for me, and my buddy who's an old school ACC/Maryland fan will be fine with that, but that's probably going to be too much for my aunt and my cousins kid who want to go too. Do they even make the color coded seating chart with prices anymore?
Gotta pay the NIL somehow.

All the prices skyrocketed. Mini plans are up more than 110% in the last two years, and are 4 games instead of the old 5. There was a lot more inventory than past years when it got to the STH presale, so it'll be interesting to see how full Fiserv is this year.
We're going to the Providence game. I decided to take a chance and buy them through a third-party site before MU made single-game tix available.
I just checked and we got 4 in Sec 102 for less $$$ on TickPick than if I had waited and bought them now. So that's good at least.
We also are going to the game at DePaul a few days earlier. Sitting in lower bowl right at midcourt for what I thought was a decent price. We have 6 in our group, so I didn't want to wait too long to buy em.
Thanks everybody, especially Brew. May do some 3rd-party searching here in the coming days.

$80 per ticket: Row J, center court. From DePaul ticket office. Buy them from DePaul every year. Best MU ticket deal around. We'll be looking for you, '82!
Think most events just figured out a more efficient model. Double the ticket prices and you only need half the place full to make the same amount while saving on other game day operations costs (ie: less staff needed, etc). Also, think they realized the secondary market was making way too much profit and want more for themselves leading to higher face value prices. Probably a lot of factors to it, none of which are good for the fan or the game day atmosphere.

Got ours in Sec 124 Row N on TickPick. It'll be my first time in Wintrust, so curious to check it out. Seriously hope to see you there, LL. Let's touch base when the new year arrives.

Last year I planned to buy two mini plans and be content, then I realized it was actually more expensive to do that than to just get full season tickets.

Had a similar thought. There were some spots where it was cheaper for season tix than single game options.
The friend and former occasional scoop user with whom I attend MU games at Butler scored a couple of tickets for the game on January 23. Their ticket prices have also jumped.

I made that mistake, though I was able to get in lower bowl with the mini plan. Would have been upper with season tix, though I don't think those seats are bad at all. Did one mini and will pick and choose other games this year. Price definitely played a part, along with 3 games in Chicago.

Quote from: MUbiz on August 06, 2025, 11:52:14 AMAnecdotally, it seems to me that people are buying less seats and also seats higher up. There is still about half the section directly behind the MU bench open. I pick my seats Friday, so I feel pretty good about getting whatever seat I want.
I said the same when I picked my Season tickets out a while ago.
I believe there were 6 for sure if not 7 sellouts last year; NMD tickets last year did not even make it to the general public I believe - this year everything is wide open and nothing is sold out as of this morning.
Yes, MUBB is collecting a ton more per ticket, but it seems its at the expense of the crowd size and atmosphere.
I would love to see the recommendations the consulting agency communicated to MUBB re ticket prices.
Just got an email promoting $22 tickets available for all remaining home non-con games, including Maryland and Dayton, in honor of Jerel's number being retired.

Never been a season seat holder, but between deals like this, other promos, secondary market...every big game I've wanted to go to has been so affordable with great seats. Totally get why you would feel this way.
Screw Marquette and this sale. My miniplan seats for Dayton were $92 each and now I could get them for $22 each (4 for less than the price of 1) because of a sale that has nothing to do with the game I'm going to?
While also undercutting the value of secondary market tickets for all remaining non-con games?
They should've offered this to STH/miniplan holders only first. This is because Marquette completely failed to market single game tickets and didn't put them up for sale until 2 days before the season. And they told me "this is to honor Jerel" what a load of crap. This is because they were inept selling tickets, jacked prices up too high to retain their customer base, and are now basically screwing over loyal fans to make up for their own ineptitude.
I'm sure plenty of sycophants will try to defend this, but it's a slap in the face of STHs & miniplan holders.

We got rid of ours ~15 years ago for similar reasons after having them in the family for many decades. So, this isn't surprising to hear they'd do something like this. It's worked out well for me just going to individual games. Lots of times friends or family offload tickets and sometimes you bite the bullet and pay extra on the secondary market. Usually come out ahead in the end. With that said though, MUs schedule and team is a lot better now than it used to be so I get the appeal to have those tickets locked in.

So because I thought I paid too much for UConn late last year, made sure I got Maryland tix this year in the days after they went on sale. 89 a ticket. Was 30 bucks less to go to a Louisville game in Louisville a week before that UConn game. And parking was a ton higher in Milwaukee. Now could get in for 22 a ticket. My in-person attendance the rest of the year will suffer as a result. Well below average job by MU ticket office.

Is this also why the distribution of the tickets for last Sunday was so last minute?
Didn't Broeker oversee the ticket operations prior to promotion?
I was pleasantly surprised when the mini-plan prices made my season tickets the right move dollar wise. Between this and the inevitable Be a Student package, I'm interested to see if that holds up.
I share the sentiment of the few others - I spent $1,090 on those 5 games that are on sale buying season tickets, but could have spent $220 if I had waited for the sale. And when the sale started, there were seats in my section as part of the sale.
It is what it is at this point, but as a season ticket holder for 18 seasons, I definitely do not feel like the athletic department is valuing my donations every year.

Like who and in what way?
I do think MU has been relying pretty heavily on the MU fanbase dedication and the success on the court we've had.
I'm worried as the latter starts to fall off, the consistent revenue streams of season ticket holders starts to reduce. I think they take for granted a bit that the sweater vests (which I fall in now) will keep re-upping their tickets out of habit. I think that's a risky game, especially as costs everywhere rise and more donation needs pop up.
Couple that with scrapping some fan favorite activities and I think the AD is risking alienating fans if the team isn't a Top 25 team.
Quote from: wadesworld on November 12, 2025, 11:00:07 AMLike who and in what way?
I have some Creighton and SJU friends that have season tickets. Creighton has a fan fest where you can meet and talk to players and coaches. Creighton does a great job integrating the jr high and high school basketball teams and lets some of them tunnel run out to the court pregame.
St John's had something similar called Stormfest - additionally SJU had events at local restaurants where you could go get an autograph and talk to the players/coaches. SJU will also let local kids be the ball boys or girls for pregame warmups at certain games.
Its building these relationships with the fans and especially the younger kids that pays dividends in the future. You can turn a middle school kid into a fan for life because he got to run on the court pregame or had something signed. MUBB lacks any type of building the next generation of fans. I know some think this is not a problem at all - but the current generation of MUBB fans will not live forever.

I think some of those fan activities were pretty hokey for a D1 athletic program. But these flash sales, while they may work in the short run, really do incentivize people to reconsider buying season tickets in the long run. Why buy the whole think when you can selectively buy the games you want and wait and see if you can get the other more cheaply?
Venting on Scoop is always welcome, but I sincerely hope that some of y'all who are unhappy about this will be letting Broeker and other decision-makers know.

I have voiced my opinion many times over the years to Mike B and other MU athletic higher ups. I have felt my suggestions have fallen on deaf ears. By no means am I one of MUBBs top boosters- but over the last 18 years as a STH, I have given an extra $3,000 on average per year on top of my STH costs and donations. Unless you are a big time donor, talking 50k a year plus, they do not really listen to you.
Just scored club level @Seton Hall tickets for $31.
Perfect excuse to build an NYC weekend trip.

Marquette has had the freshman do Q&As at Major Goolsby's where the fans can meet with them, the team walks around the first rows of seats and high fives fans after every home game, the team takes inner city kids shopping at Kohl's around the holidays, visit Children's Wisconsin, does Marquette's reading program at local elementary schools etc. I think Marquette is probably doing more of this than you realize.
I haven't been able to attend any of the open practice or scrimmage events in the last number of years, but do they have any autograph opportunities for younger fans at those?

Everything you mentioned MUBB does except the Major is focused on charity or at current students - that is amazing and I want MUBB to continue that.
As a STH who consistently spends 6-8k a year on tickets and donations, I would like to see things that I can take my kids too - ie the block party, where my kids can meet the entire team. Maybe bring back midnight madness once every other year? When I attended MU - there was nothing better and I think it would be incredible if I could share the midnight madness experience with my young boy. I do not even care if there are hot dogs at that event!
Keep the charity events going - but add a few events back for us fans that are not high level donors, but do drop a decent amount of cash.

UW has had their main sports' season ticket holders (besides volleyball) go way down over the last 10 years. Their get in price for their buy games this year was $15. Big Ten go from $24 to $40. The two marquee games: us and Purdue is $68. MU is selling their cheapest ticket tonight (not resale) for $32. Maryland $64. Butler/ UConn $71.
You can go to a practice/scrimmage in July and then again in October. You can get autographs, pictures, high fives, talk with the players, etc. very accessible.
I've always looked at the STH cost as a donation to the program, so I don't get too bent out of joint about all the sales for the casual fans.

You are 100% correct. I would venture to say every Big east team has exhibitions/scrimmages for fans to attend.
What I am advocating for is the extra 1-2 events that Creighton and SJU and that MUBB used to do - come back. For the sake of fan engagement and fanbase retention/growth.

I miss the giveaways as well. It might seem trite, but when you get a nice D Wade bobblehead, or an Al McGuire t-shirt, or those awesome pint glasses, you could see where your dollars were going. That doesn't really exist anymore. Maybe a schedule poster early in the season or for senior night, but that's about it.
It seems that Marquette has cut everything they don't see an immediate profit on. So no giveaways, no Haunted Hoops, no Madness. But those are the same things that gin up excitement and create new fans.
Wades mentioned the players high fiving after every game, but I'll note that's actually only after the wins. It was very cool that my daughter managed to get pics with Shaka, Kam, Stevie, & Ben last year, then I printed the pics out and at the next win she got them all signed. Ben Gold is her favorite player on this team because of that. But that's because of where our seats were & 99% of the kids attending won't get that memory & keepsake.
If the argument is that times are tight, that goes both ways, and likely explains what's at least a 10% drop in STHs from last year. And if Marquette wants to enjoy boom times when and if they return, they need to investing in those future generations of fans, and not just the 1% that could afford to be in the front row or selected for the Kohl's shopping trip.
I knew plenty here won't care about the complaints of STHs, but it's literally Marquette's job to care, and when this is coming from multiple corners, the ticket office blowing off fans who call to complain about how they are being treated (which felt like my experience yesterday) doesn't seem like a good model for fan retention or growth.
And I swear that last phrase was a coincidence, but after writing it, isn't that what Shaka says this program is all about?
Maybe I am mistaken but I seem to remember them doing these flash deals every year. So it really shouldn't come as a surprise cheap tickets will be made available at some point.
Just like the be a student package during winter break. I think that is probably the best deal if you are looking for great seats for cheap.

For me, its a peace of mind thing. Don't have to hunt for tickets, I know the price of every game, I sit in the same great seat each time.
I'll take that over random sales for some games.

Yeah, I could be misremembering. There was one year, can't recall which, that we thought about going to one of these games, and I'm pretty sure we could have bought for just the game we were considering. Can't make it this year to any of them, so it doesn't really matter to me.

As I said, that's certainly possible.
I do not have season tix, and I have yet to buy any tix through the website. But, I have attended 4 games and sat in the lower bowl for all 4 games and have not paid more than $30. I'm not tech savvy at all, but I stumbled across a way to get them cheaply.
I happened to be checking the schedule on ESPN website and the little blue pop up link that says "tickets as low as $8" beckoned me. I clicked on it and it's very simple. You can sort by cheapest, or upper bowl, or lower bowl sideline, corner or end zone. The pricing is dynamic, so if you're okay rolling the dice, you can get lucky. I did that for one game and saved $10 per ticket. The quoted price includes fees, the only wildcard so to speak, is the taxes. It takes you to Vivid Seats, and the tickets end up in your MU Gameday App.
I'm 4 for 4. BTW you can buy them well in advance also.
Should be able to get tix pretty cheap this year ;D

DM'd you. Included my SS number, mother's maiden name and some passwords to help out.
Quote from: MU82 on December 01, 2025, 10:14:13 AMGot the email about the Cyber Monday sale to sit in the student section during the semester break. Four games for $55.
IIRC, in the past, they sold these on a game-by-game basis. Now, they want folks to commit to all four games.
They have always been sold in packages. It was a rare case based on number of seats that might be open to buy on a single base level. That only happened one year.

Most interesting thing I saw was when you click the link, the price tag is $77.52. Nothing like a 40% markup as soon as you express interest in the product.
Even if you go through and get to checkout, it lists $10.52 in fees, so the base cost of $67 is still 21.8% higher than advertised. Sometimes I'm not sure if they're really this bad at their jobs or actively trolling those of us who recognize it.

Or just, you know, charging what every ticket site charges in fees.

Except the base price is $67! They are literally lying with the $55 price tag. There's no way around it. It's a blatant lie. I know you love to do backflips to defend incompetence, but it's not remotely possible this time.

I'm not sure where this guy wades is getting his information from but he seems to be wrong a lot. I just looked into purchasing the "$55" tickets and the itemized breakdown on the website lists the price at $67. Very suspicious
Someone should Tweet Broeker and ask him why MU is not collecting taxes, since we have their itemized breakout and taxes are not on there.
Sadly, someone actually probably already has/will.

Just prepare for a snippy response and some excuse about how it's not possible due to circumstances out of their control.
