2019-2020 Men’s Basketball Season Tickets

[ShockerFever]

After 15 years, my breaking point was reached after the 2018 season. It sucks cuz we’re in a real conference now too. Made 1 game last year (the UCF win, ha) and it does suck not being there watching live.

But they’ve just outpriced us. And I feel it’s nothing but a giant commercial when game play isn’t happening. The game production is mid major at best and worst of all, they don’t seem to care. Maybe they’ll start caring when the attendance continues a decline. The product is absolutely not an issue. The $8 nachos and the inability to show a controversial replay during the game are inexcusable. But hey, those bottle caps are back, despite being told to the fanbase that it was a conference rule, which was a flat out lie.

Changing conferences means virtually ALL games are on TV, and also game times are not as customer friendly. We renewed again, but.....

Changing conferences also means we get to see games against real teams like Cincy and Temple instead of Evansville and Drake. It does cut both ways a bit.

Having said that, they are reaching my breaking point.

I am the LAST person who should consider dropping tickets...and while I’m not quite there yet, the thought has at least started to be considered.

ShockTalk and we cannot claim the tickets as a marketing expense like the businesses can. Why the athletic department seems to enjoy fooking the family donors is a mystery.

since all of the games are on tv, I’ll have roll the dice. wichita is definitely a college basketball town with a corporate culture at the games. i wish that would change, but its not likely. the atmosphere for the thursday night tbt game was the best i’ve seen koch in quite some time.

couple disclosures:

finances were not a reason for dropping - perceived value was.
had center court seats about ten rows from the top
for a few bucks down the road, i can skip the line and get great seats again should we choose
i wish that wsu in-game production would listen more.

DUShock , I'll second your last paragraph!!

Another problem for family donors is that "business" donors can pass on point status due to it being in the business's name, regardless of who is currently in charge or still alive.

I’ve had tix since 98 and been in the same 2 seats since the Roundhouse Renaissance, added 2 tickets in 2006. We have tried to get our four seats together since 2007 but haven’t been able too. The best we have done is the same section, two rows apart and on opposite aisles. We are Bold Gold donors for 4 seats since Century Club parking was taken away. This season we were able to add a seat, move our all 5 seats together stacked 3 seats in front of 2 seats. Same section, one row back, and two aisle seats. Giddy as all get out.

You prostitute yourself to corporate donors at the expense of long term family donors, for short term gain, this is what happens when a dry season or two comes around. Things are getting better and the dry patch will pass.

Go Shocks!

Shockernet has certainly seen the lows and highs of Shocker athletics and university life since ol’ Shockercat flipped the switch on this place. A tip-off the hat to RoyalShock, Kai, ShockBand, and of course KungWu for keeping the lights on over the years. Thank you and as always:

Go Shocks!

Looked like quite a few when I was at the TBT games.

[pinstripers]

Wonder how many are remaining?

While this is certainly true in the present if this program returns to national prominence atop the polls then you'll find yourself in a situation of paying much higher single game tickets when everyone wants to watch. You might be able to return to season tickets. Maybe not. There's a tradeoff and pros/cons on both sides of the ledger.

It is a huge bummer that the athletic department is in the red and we can’t keep our big name coaches around.

Seems like the University will always find a way to spend a dollar to try and pick up an extra .50. Just my .02.:poster_wsu:
