I thought we already had a thread for this but I can't find it in cyberspace..so here we go.

@XavierTickets: Get your Lower Level Holiday Pack today! Buy 2 games, get 1 FREE. That's 3 games for $80. Buy now"

Seeing a number of empty lower level seats is telling me that some people did not renew their licenses. Plus, the last two games the attendance has been about 1,000 below capacity and XU is promoting that "move down" app.

Do not like.

The crowd on Saturday was about as bad as I can remember. We had more people at the Garner Webb game.

We might not have had 7000 actual people in the seats.

I could understand any walk-up types being scared off by the weather but even the season ticket holders stayed away.

I think it's a bit ominous, although it seems anecdotally like attendance is off this year a lot of places. Even Duke had a bunch of empty seats for one of their early-season gimmes. Certainly the X program has taken some hits in the last 24 months.

The problem here is if Xavier willingly scarfs up the 8700 allotted tickets, what's the incentive to come back on campus?

I don't expect that to happen. We didn't scarf them up last year, and it would be surprising to see it again this year.

If they want to fill the place, make the ticket part of the season ticket package. I know a lot of season ticket holders that spend big bucks on their seats, but aren't willing to spend an extra $75 per seat to watch a game at US Bank. If our season ticket base is 8700 people, the only reason to NOT include in the season ticket package is more money.

But more money for who? The Freedom Center? That place should have been turned into a casino years ago.

It will be interesting to see what they do after this season. The game drew over 14k last year, and will likely do about the same this year. I don't know how the revenue works, but it seems the game would be more profitable to both schools to have it on their own campuses.

The two-year contract for this "experiment" ends with this game . Contract must be renewed. Koch at the behest of his master Mick is alrerady lobbying for permanent status for Riverfront Mausoleum and Xavier officials, especially new AD and Chris are saying campus or not at all.

They could play the games on campus and still have a markup on the tickets to benefit the Freedom Center - I wouldn't have a problem with that.

But as we all know and suspect on the Xavier front, the Freedom Center was nothing more than a cover in order to get the 2 teams off campus and moved over to a neutral site. If I were a UC fan, I'd like my odds a lot better winning a pair of games on a neutral floor than a home-away series.

Mat and Dallas have been to a lot of Xavier games over the past few seasons.

I'm pissed cause I paid full price for a 4 Pack upstairs...now this comes out. I would say the masterful performance in Atlantis has caused usual ticket buyers to say " Screw it, I'll wait for some bargin promo".
