Student Tickets

Is it true that there are only 700 student tickets available for basketball games? If that is true I think it is an outrage. Given the cost of tuition and the size of the arena there should be at least twice that many available to students. Back in the day this would have caused a sit in the the athletic administration department...

I believe there were 1,200 sets of $30 paid vouchers issued out for the one end in the 100/200 section and a few seats reserved in the lower 400 section.

Students who were unable to get the $30 dollar vouchers are given the option to also get the free vouchers for 400 level seats.

If games are not sold out, students may collect any of the remaining tickets with their free vouchers. Although the seats aren't perfect....you can't really complain about free.

and since the student's seldom use all the tickets for every game, I don't think more seats should be set aside for them

So.........the tickets are in the building! They may not be the best seats, but the price is right! As a student I would have been happy to be anywhere in the building to see the game.

Back in the 80s an entire section of 300s in the corner along with about half a section of 400s above that were occupied by students who stood the entire game.

This was around the same time Marquette would bring their band and sit in the 400s.

That's the kicker....Half of these kids wouldn't show up to the game if it weren't for lower arena seats. If anyone wants to challenge this statement, I will be more than happy to address the situation when the student section is half full during the course of the season. If "every" student ticket holder was as "die hard" as some think, you wouldn't see the empty seats.

The excuses will run rampant on here in the near future since there is no Stewart St. bridge.

Prediction:
100% of the die-hard blue hairs and townies will find a way around the Stewart Street bridge regardless of the inconvenience, seat license, spirit points, global warming and Obama's tax hikes.

Nothing will keep them away.

How 'bout the students?

I can still remember walking to the arena to see the games - regardless of weeknight/weekend, day or night. The students used their seats (probably not the 400 section when we played some of the buy games) for a lot of the games. I tried to make every game possible.

Those Marquette, DePaul, Notre Who? games were the most raucous crowds. We never sat in our seats and the noise was deafening.

Thanks for reviving these memories.

When I was a freshman I had to fight my way into the student section.

I sat up in the 300 and 400's until I got my ass to camp out early, early with my die hard freshmen friends.


That is the way it should be and always ... I have no problem letting fresh or sophs in the lower bowl if they earn it. First come first serve is the way to go.


And to answer your question ... I had about 20 friends in my senior year that hated spirit points and couldnt go to all the games ... so they all sat up top and just didn't respect the red scare crap ... they actually burned red scare shirts on the weekends and stuff, funny guys.

So to answer your question, the true fans that got screwed will probably still go and sit up top ... its the fairweathers that wont ... and it is a shame the best fans will be up top.

I believe the students get 1200. 700 are in the 100/200 section. There probably were around 1600 before they took away the wedge to the left of the student section due to poor student attendance.

Public Safety said there could not be camp outs anymore. While I'm sure you and your buddies felt super cool at your "effigy", there was nothing Red Scare could do.

Once again, how exactly do people that go to other events and get points"fairweathers"? Seems like they are more dedicated than you and your pals were.

AFG, I think his point was that of the students that will get upper bowl seats, the "diehards" will still go to the games and the "fairweathers" will not.

The 1679 figure was published in the Dayton Daily News and their source was the University of Dayton.

*shrugs* The DDN has been wrong before. UD Arena employees told me it was 1200 now. Who knows though, to answer the original posters question, it is not only 700.
