. I'm in marketing so I know a bunch of bullcrap when I hear it. The Garden doesn't care who's a** is in the seat as long as it's creating revenue.
And . . . your point is they should be a charitable organization? Increase season ticket holders (STJ's Job), increase ad hoc STJ fans ticket purchases (STJ's job), increase student attendance (STJ's Job) and the situation will get better. Also re my last post an MSG only season ticket package would also increase STJ fan attendance. I can only assume that this is no longer available at STJ's insistence. Like you said MSG wants to sell tickets any way it can.
Completely off topic but for MSG's purposes they should also reintroduce the non STJ game college basketball season ticket program. Back in the day it only included pre and post season NITs and Holiday Fest (not officially STJ home games). Now it would/could include all that plus Champions Classic, CvC, Jimmy V, Carquest Auto Parts double header (annual Duke game) and they could force people to also take the Maggie Dixon and the Big Apple Clasic. The only one sof those that seem to sell well this year were the Champions Classic and the Carquest/Duke game.
