Schedule Changes

[room112]

 What would stop those St. John's fans from selling them on the secondary market though? If the price was high enough I'm sure many would consider it. 

Boom goes the dynamie.

Hypothetically, since I don't believe we will see a game at another venue, BUT,

In the last couple of years, SJU has cleaned up the season ticket holder list to eliminate accounts where ticket resellers had season tickets and would profit by selling off game tickets at higher prices.   Since SJU would presumably control ticket sales, one GOAL of hosting in a place where fans are allowed would be to have our fans attend.    Any tickets sold would be directly traceable by SJU and should they show up on resale sites, and even if legally resold, can easily be traced back to an individual.  Those individuals could find themselves in far less desirable seats in the future.   

But that's just the Sicilian in me coming out.   

My opinion: If our fans have an opportunity to buy such hypothetical tickets, their asses better had be in those seats.




 

Totally get what you're saying Beast. But correct me if I'm wrong, St. John's doesn't even have close to 1,900 season ticket holders. So even if season ticket holders got first dibs, and those tickets were traced, there is a further alotment that will be out there. Not sure if the school has the capabilities to make sure they all end up in St. John's fans hands on short notice. 

Now I'm pretty confident most of them will be kept by St. John's fans. But there is always a chance.

I'm not sure how many tickets our season tcket holder count translates to (For example 1 season ticket holder could have 4 seats).   There will always in that kind of situation be a sale via stubhub etc.   PResumably, with SJU controlling ticket sales, the number would be small.

Again, my guess is that we won't be playing any home games anywhere except CA.

After tonight's crushing result, scheduling a game for next weekend against a quality opponent is a no-brainer. Home or away.

I agree go be the best bubble team that will play us.

Didn't they announce in last night's telecast that Marquette has scheduled UNC?   Nice.

We better get Duke or Kansas or Virginia for a serious game l.

Three teams that would fit the criteria of "other teams we could play that might be relevant to our tournament profile":
Arkansas, Missouri, UAB.
Just saying.

If we can't make it happen, I'd like to see that CMA Invitational as our Lapchick field next season.
