Anyone know anything about these? Online it doesn't give you a seat or row, just says General Admission---- so are there a few sections in the endzone dedicated to just general admission (and sit anywhere)?

There are very few of the $207 all session passes left so they will have likely sold out by MAAC Tourney time and your best case seats will be in the $147 all session pass seats. I can't figure out what possible reason there would be to spend $150 on the flex package. If you go to 3 sessions or less you will be much better off buying tickets for each individual session and if you are going to four sessions you might as well get the all session pass. I looked into these and came away baffled as to who they are marketing it to.

I looked into these and came away baffled as to who they are marketing it to. The word "flex" is the key word in the flex package. Since the normal ticket price per session is $50 (at least for the sections for the $168-207 all session passes) it's save you at least $50. One person could go to 4 different sessions; or Two people could go to 2 different sessions; or Four people could go to 1 session; or etc... There's many reasons for using this package but all save you $50 (four seats for the price of three). If you're an individual and only plan on going to three sessions you could give it sell that fourth session ticket. As Dave would say, "We have possibilities". That's what the flex package offers, possibilities. |

To be clear, I think people are talking about two different things here. 1. Flex tickets for the MAAC tournament 2. Flex tickets for the rest of Siena's regular season (see below for details)   |

That's what the flex package offers, possibilities. Problem is, very few of those $50 seats are left and it is doubtful there will be any come tourney time and certainly not where 3 or 4 people could sit together. I'm not sure what the $147 all session pass seats cost but can't imagine they are going for much more than $37.50 per session. All session pass offers the most convenience and value, cherry picking your sessions offers the most flexibility. I will be curious to hear from anyone that takes this option how it worked out for them. I was strongly considering it but the numbers just don't add up. |

The $147 all-sessions pass is really $167 because there is a $2 per ticket per session facility fee that has to be paid. When I bought tickets about ten days ago, there were no $167 seats closer to the floor than Row L in either 105 or 120. Of course, the way the MAAC operates, it is conceivable that some of the unavailable/sold seats will yet become available.

I purchased three full sessions MAAC tickets; I wanted two adults and one student. I was told by the TUC they only sell adults. I purchased the three tickets for $167 each, section 121 Q. I emailed Ensor and questioned why no student full sessions, of course he never responded. Didn’t we sell student full session passes in prior years?

I looked into these and came away baffled as to who they are marketing it to. The $207 tickets are in the three lower center sections on each side. Its my understanding that these are the sections they reserve for the teams (Mens and Womens) that are playing in the tournament. As teams lose these seats go back into the "for sale pot". If you look at the sections right next to these, 108/103 for example, hardly any seats have been sold. As I recall. last year sometime in February, the MAAC had a one day half price sale. Does anyone else remember this? |

I remember and am waiting. If I get burned I'll just purchase the cheapest and squat just like people did to me last year when I paid full price.

Tickets for individual sessions went on sale this morning. Considering the baffling decision to include the $2 facility fee for every single men's and women's game on the all session pass the individual tickets are a way better deal if you are going with the cheap seats (unless you enjoy going to the women's games).
For the exact same seats in section 205:
All session pass = $77 + $20 facility fee = $97
Individual session = 16.50 + $2 facility fee = $18.50
Cherry picking the Siena games = $18.50 X 3 = $55.50
Adding the non-Siena quarter = $18.50 X 4 = $74
Adding the play in game = $18.50 X 5 = $92.50
I'd love to grab the all session pass but makes absolutely no sense the way they priced it if you don't go to the women's games.

The main benefit I have is simply the section/seat location. By putting in for the all session pass at my earliest convenience, I was able to get one of the three center sections fairly lower towards the court. That was more important to me than cost. I also spend all day Fri, Sat, Sum and Monday night there. I think the individual tickets for my seats is like $50 (each session) cheaper for me to get all session pass (but that's just me). |

I fully understand it for the best seats. Just doesn't make sense the way they structured it to buy the all session pass for the cheap seats. Seems like having butts in the seats for the play in round and the non-Siena games would be what they would want but apparently not. You sell a ton of session passes and you've still got a good crowd for Sunday and Monday if Siena loses first round too. |

Here is the math for the best seats:
All session pass = $207 + $20 facility fee = $227
Individual session = $73 + $2 facility fee = $75
Cherry picking the Siena games = $75 X 3 = $225
Adding the non-Siena quarter = $75 X 4 = $300
Adding the play in game = $75 X 5 = $375
Great value on all session passes for those seats, terrible value on the cheap seats, weird pricing.

I think we got all session passes the first two years in Mass, but the last year I just got the cheap session tickets for a couple women's & men's games and sat in the more expensive seats anyway. I was fully prepared to get booted by the correct ticket holder and in most cases if we moved it was only a few seats away. That venue was a total bust for the operator/state of MA. |
