Siena vs UAlbany tickets went on sale today. It looks like around 6,000 tickets have been sold so far. Ticketmaster is using the sell out format of 8,065 seats. Do they use such format until all 8,065 seats are sold then open the ends up? Or, are the ends the UAlbany’s allotted tickets? UAlbany is selling their allotted tickets at $18……I believe they have backers that contribute money to reduce the cost

Looks like 7400 tickets sold so far.
Year---# 2001-10285 2002-11672 2003-11797 2004-? 2005-? 2006-11271 2007-13262 2008-13251 2009-12960 2010-10753 2011-8252 2012-10229
New Siena team/coach plus UAlbany big season last year, you would think the number of tickets sold would be a lot higher.

It's still November, the casual fans don't think about basketball until the day after Thanksgiving.

Gonna be 5000+ fans, we should be getting, at Bob Ford field watching CBA/Shaker, but the Devils need to get their 1000 fans on Saturday I'm gonna guess Fridays game doesn't get to 5 digits.

I agree poor planing. This game should have been played on a Sat. night. This game is starting to lose its luster because UA and Siena are becoming more equals and its becoming just another game on the schedule.

If the teams are “becoming more equals” then the turn out should be more not less. People want to see a great game. Maybe Albany didn’t want to play Saturday, is their football team playing Saturday night? Siena should do everything they can to promote this game more. 8000 tickets isn’t good enough.

There's usually 2-3K of walkups. We should crack 10K but just barely.
"more equal" is a funny phrase really. I'd say not really. Or may in the way that Siena has become more equal to Syracuse - compared to the days when they thumped us by 50. Still the game is always a thriller and I've never felt a win was guaranteed - with exception of UA wins the years they won. Those years I hoped for a W but knew it would be an L. When we're bad we're horrible. Siena has wide swings of awesome to attrocious. UA tends to hover around mediocre with occassional good seasons.

What I was saying was when the series first started it was a big mismatch favoring Siena. UA students would show up looking for the big upset. Now both teams are even or in some of the past few years UA is the better team and the interest from their students isn't there. People like to see the underdog win. This year Siena is the underdog so maybe more people show up./

I think as the program changes for the better the excitement will build, it was really bad bball the last 3 years and that had a direct impact on interest. Lets face it boarded on unwatchable!

A huge crowd will be on hand for tomorrow's #SienaSaints openers. very solid chance for 10K with walk up sales, no doubt over 9K for sure..................not too bad considering the local HS football playoffs will be very well attended Friday night!!!!!!!!!!

Any updates on the count? Over 9200 ... Walk-ups should bring it to 10k
