2018 Season Ticket Info.

[Mr. Nielsen]

I plan to get season tickets this year for the first time as I finally will have the income etc....
I could look this up but whe do you usually have to purchase tickets by?

Glad your getting season tickets! They go on sale to new season ticket buyers in mid-July. They also do payment plans if you want.

Point value hasn't changed. I suspect that it's a function of it being way easier to move up from a lower priority. Each rung gets tougher.

I too am trying to buy season tickets for the first time.  (Sick of paying ticketmaster for 6-8 games a year)

I emailed marquetteathletics and still haven't heard anything back.

Is there anything else I can do to purchase tickets?

Thanks

The ticket office was busy with hosting the women's big east tournament and then flying asap to new york for the men. They go on sale in July for you to pick your section/seats.

I mean, you get 1 Pt for each $100 donated...so if you donate say $600..you get six additional points. You'd think that would jump you fairly substantially. Truth be told, if it's not going to move you up more than say 500 spots or so, what is the incentive in donating at all??

No doubt season ticket longevity counts more. 

As to why one donates, that's of course a personal matter.  I will say this.  Those guys sitting in the courtside seats donate just a little more than $600.

I don't know.... maybe because it helps student athletes get a Marquette education?

Donations for new ticket holders to improve their seats (sort of.)  Donations after 10 years or so .. not so much.

I have the sheet from a couple years ago .. numbers should be about the same:

There's around 3000 accounts.    For the $600/6 point donation, going from 10 points to 16, you jump 400 spots.   Spot Per Dollar = .66 

The 1500th spot (50%) is 70 points.  Going from 70 to 76 jumps you only 75 spots. SPD = .125

In the 750th spot (25%) is 179 .. going to 185 is jumping just 25 spots.  SPD = .04

No doubt, it's tough.  If you want to crack into a decent seat in one of the 6 middle sections, you really need a huge donation or pretty solid donations over a 10-15 years to get anywhere.

So maybe you're sitting high in the corner and think you'd like to move down 10 rows .. that $600 will jump you 125 accounts, likely 250 seats better, and down you go.

I've had season tickets for 15 years. I dont need to get downstairs, I'd just like to be able to get into the middle uppers no more than 5 rows back.
