Game still isn't sold out according to tweet just now from Wilkins of the TU. So funny how bad they wanted this game, yet they can't sell the arena out. 65 seats remaining plus standing room w some obstructed views

Albany priced this perfectly--- squeezed as much out of Siena fans as possible. Big lesson for the Siena admin--- have to know when to cut the cord.

So they didn't squeeze as much out of their own fans too? The cord has been cut, that's why this is such a great ticket. One and done. Worth every penny, if we win

Worth every penny, if we win No because they knew their fans weren't going to be paying for the game outside of their season ticket holders. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 70/30 split is Siena fans in the building. And, the cord will only be cut if Siena is willing to walk away. Like I said, great job on ualbanys part.

It sounds like Siena won't have many fans there as first thought. How many fans actually bought Albany season tickets? I just can't see more than 30% being in the building. If a 1000 or more bought season tickets then I'm probably wrong. If people wont pay $40-$60 why would they have paid more for season tickets.

I bought them because at $100 for 14 games, why wouldn't I? Makes more sense then just buying one game for $40. I think Siena fans had a much better opportunity to buy tix for this game than anyone guessed. The game will be pulled from our package and played every year at the TUC. If that doesn't happen, both schools are dropping the ball.

If a 1000 or more bought season tickets then I'm probably wrong. If people wont pay $40-$60 why would they have paid more for season tickets. A few things: 1. Link please about about how many Siena fans vs what was first thought. 2. It wouldn't be casual fans who would buy a ticket, but the hard-core Siena & BB fans who could see 13 more games. Avg of $8/game. You refuse to acknowledge the main point - Albany couldn't sell this out until a few days before the game and that was with massive help from Siena. A game that has never had less than about 10K when it was played where it belongs. Now, tell us something bad about Siena when you send that link. Unless you're pulling stuff out of your a$$ again.

Pure BS - some, read that SOME people wont pay $40-$60 - many, many have. Original argument stands - UA fans don't support their team PERIOD!

There will be at least 1000 Siena fans.. maybe as much as 1500... I know many..many Siena fans that bought season tickets.. and as part of that you got option to buy two more tickets( per season ticket) . Needless to say there were fans on both sides that wouldn't pay the price. Gonna be fun-- cant wait for game

1000 out of 4500 would be awesome. But that's only 22%. That's not bad for a road game.
