Tickets Sales For Creighton

[melissasmooth]

Well, whether they choose to attend games or not, I am sure they can appreciate the economic impact the program has on the institution.

Yes I understand

[setyoursightsnorth]

Easy now...you're giving them ammo to use against us. Personally basketball season is the most important thing to me at MU. Not to be all sappy but going to bball games have really helped me though some rough times here.

that's really pathetic.

[setyoursightsnorth]

This new generation keeps getting worse. Too busy Snapchatting?

More like 18 credits and a job.

[Aughnanure]

No.  Sorry. A tutoring job and a study group

Fair enough. I'll give you the tutoring job, but if you can't work your weekly study schedule around 2 1/2 hours, you're not doing it right.

16,500 announced

12,000-13,000 butts in seats.

Well, that would be pathetic if the one of the biggest home games of the year has 12,000 butts in the building. I don't care what day of the week it is.

[Aughnanure]

More like 18 credits and a job.

And this is supposed to be a NEW thing? Half my college life was 18 credits and a job.

[NavinRJohnson]

Half my college life was 18 credits and a job.

What was the other half?

[Aughnanure]

What was the other half?

15 or 16. Then internships+classes in the summer. But touché, that was a good response haha.

If I had to guess a lot of people here are going to be really disappointed with the turnout. Students are trying to sell their tickets for really cheap in the facebook . Its just really a bad time for a game during a week where there a lot of tests. I dont know who does the scheduling but they really need to do a better job at scheduling the marquee games like tomorrow.

I hope your joking.

I'll say 15,000 in the building!

A little perspective .. last year, we played #11 ranked Syracuse on a Monday .. attendance: 16,000 .. and we were having a BE-championship type season.

Syracuse was on a Monday at 6pm with the marquee pricing. Creighton is at 7pm, with normal Big East pricing. I like your guess!

I was shocked last year that Syracuse was 16,049. The building was almost full for that game and very loud.

[bradley center bat]

The Ticketmaster site shows 580 tickets still remaining.  It's that's true, expect an announced crowd over 18,000.  No-shows are obviously another story.

For some reason, ticketmaster doesn't list all of the tickets for Marquette games.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

that's really pathetic.

Or maybe basketball games make me a happier person...You dont know my life.

[MU82]

Not to go all "when I was a kid" on anybody, but ...

There is absolutely no way I would have missed this game when I was a student ... no matter how much it would have cut into my time at the bars!

that's really pathetic.

Based on this and your posting history, doesn't seem like much would be lost if you swan dive onto 43 northbound from the Wells Street bridge.

In the Facebook????

Grandpa, is that you?

D'aww. Thank you. <3

I really appreciate all of you. You are some of the kindest, most thoughtful, smart, and least aggressive people I've ever had the pleasure of talking to.



Edit: I'm sure Marquette will miss the 25,000 that I'm paying to be here though. They always find neat little ways to siphon and squeeze every penny out of a person.

[MUHoopsFan2]

I hope your joking.

No, I am afraid that he is not. I just had a student practically hand me his ticket and copied it out for me to take so it would go to good use.

He has tests all day and the next day and can't go. It is a poorly scheduled game. But it is what it is...

You seem to be of the easily replaceable kind.

[GGGG]

Youre not understanding my point im saying Creighton vs MU should have been a weekend game. Im know nobodys going to care about test cycles. I know I dont. The fact that this game isnt on a weekend was the problem for me.

They can't put all the good games on weekends...Fox wants good match-ups for the week as well.

My comment of joking was about that Wednesday night is a bad night for a game. Should basketball be played only on Saturday's.

[mu_hilltopper]

For comparison .. the last 6 "big" weekday games' attendance:

Last season we played #11 Syracuse on a Monday .. 16,009.
Monday - Jan 2011 on a Monday .. #9 Notre Dame 16,951.
Monday Jan 25, 2011 - #5 Uconn - 15,476
Wed - January 6, 2010 - #13 Georgetown - 15,984
Thurs - February 18, 2010 - #19 - Pittsburgh - 16,486
Wed - March 3, 2010 - Louisville - 16,281

No way does Creighton draw more than Notre Dame, so 16,951 would be a logical maximum guess.

15,500-16,000 for tonight is my guess.

[BrewCity83]

I think it'll be over 16,500.  Wednesday is a better night than Monday.  Plus the weather's good and the roads are clear.

[spartan3186]

From an overall tickets sold perspective, I suspect that MU likes having some of the marquee games on weeknights. Attendance at weekend games is generally pretty high regardless of opponent.

Saturday games
DePaul: 15,194
Seton Hall: 15,581
Villanova: 16,662
Xavier: 18,644

Weekday games
Providence: 15,248
Butler: 14,479
Creighton: ?

I'd assume the Creighton game would draw similar to Villanova on the weekend, with Xavier being a bit of an outlier with National Marquette day.

If you switched Seton Hall and Creighton, I'd assume Seton Hall would be similar to Butler (-1,100 tickets sold). If Creighton is ~16,000 (-600 tickets sold) tonight you still have a net positive of 500 tickets.

So what was it like?  You know, when Marquette came to your house, kidnapped you at gun point, and forced you to pay $25,000.
