Next Saturday will be the real test in terms of how we are drawing. Noon Saturday game before football starts and with school back in session. I’ve already arranged a group of 10 to be there. Let’s pack it out and be loud!
Are they not selling MSG tickets outside the main bowls and center nosebleeds? There are no tickets available upstairs on the wings. Even for Uconn. Strange.
Most games they haven't.
I'm looking at the UCONN game after unchecking verifying resale, and it honestly makes no sense to me. The lower bowl is sold out. Only three sections are available, but then there's gaps between tickets being sold and not sold. Some nosebleed rows are sold out and then theres rows in between that aren't available.
If STJ and UCONN are ranked, I actually think that can be a sell out.
Not sure at what point they'd open those sections. There are staffing, security, concessions, cleaning.
I love the passion fans have that they want to fill MSG every night.
But barking at fans to go buy tickets after they watched St. John's play mediocre basketball for 20 years sure is something. Are we really gonna fault some fans for taking a wait and see approach?
Honestly the people mad about attendance are looking at this all wrong.
Do any of you out there have a singer or a band who you really liked early on in their career? Then they go on to become super successful? There's always a nostalgia attached to the days before they went big time. This causes a lot of fans to have special attachments to artists' debut album.
Look at this season as Pitinos debut St. John's album. No, there aren't legions of fans busting down the doors of Madison Square Garden (yet), but if we make the tournament and start doing so consistently, you may look back on these days with a bit of nostalgia as the good ol days before this thing really takes off.
Just my two cents. Enjoy seeing the diehards around at these home games. In two years you might look around and see a lot of new faces after our sweet sixteen runs
But you may check the setlist first before buying tickets. lol
Definitely fair. But if I am thinking about it from the casual fan perspective, they probably saw the band added Billy Joel, but there were still concerns if he had enough left in the tank to put on a good live show.
But now the casuals will start to see that Billy still got it, and the rest will be history
Some people can't recognize something really great on their own until the masses follow. Like you telling someone about this fantastic restaurant but they want to wait until its really popular and it gets a Michelin star.
My wife accuses me of only wanting to go to Broadway shows if they're a NY Times Critics Pick, or a restaurant reviewed on Eater, so I can relate. lol
In grade school I was ridiculed and laughed at for suggesting some Canadian guy who was on a high school tv drama show was going to be a successful rapper.
fast forward to today that same rapper has sold more records than every hip hop artist not named Eminem, Jay Z, and Tupac.
That shit used to bother me when masses started to catch on. But you learn to appreciate the days where an artist, team, restaurant, movie, etc felt almost like your own secret
Degrassi in Elementary school?? Come on Jack
Read that wrong and thought you were saying Billy Joel's wife is a he. Not that there's anything wrong with that.On a side note Billy Joels wife used to work in my office. If he performed at our Xmas party we would have had record attendance
Hell no I never even liked that show lmao. I only found out about drake because lil Wayne endorsed him so maybe I shouldn’t even act like a true OG fan. But I do credit myself for realizing very early on he was gonna be bigger than the rest of his generation
Lol dude the stuff that would come on television after like 10pm in the early 2000s was straight up absurd. I witnessed stuff I should not have.
Which now that I think of it, I still remember channel surfing as a youngin and coming across the show "Tila Tequila's A Double Shot at Love"...
Now that... THAT is a show that I'm sure only classof2010 knows well
