Check out the Wichita Sports Commission at www.wichitasports.com. Great ticket offers on the UAB game.

Looks like 10/25/35 dollar options.

Looks like P1 is about sold out.

Looks like the $25 price is the same as what they started offering a couple weeks ago, except you don't have to buy 4 with this deal...

Another deal being offered:

I just picked up 4. Doesn't look like I was charged any processing or handling fees either.

@_kai_: Might I humbly suggest that this thread be more descriptive in it's title? I would struggle to think that too many fans would turn down $10 tickets if they hadn't already purchased them.

I am not suggesting you do the promoters job for free.....okay, I guess I am asking you to do just that. It's all for the good of the program though.

The precedent has been set. Good luck wih advance sales in the future unless you have KU, K-State, UK, UNC, Duke or equivalent coming in. Of course, the chances of that happening would seem to be diminishing with each passing discounted ticket deal.

OTOH, we should be playing either KSU or KU on a regular basis at IBA. No middle man required.

Disagree 1972Shocker. Those who bought early got the prime seats in those sections. At this point people are going to be stuck with what is left.

Getting full? Yes. About sold out? Not quite.

That's true. But the question is can the promoter make a profit at these prices. Of course, we still don't know what kind of crowd we will draw.

If not, future IBA games will probably have to be put together by WSU. I don't know how much it cost WSU to host Tulsa at IBA last year or what the financial impact is of hosting a season ticket included game at IBA is.

Gotta agree with DSB. If tickets aren't selling well, they'll always be a chance at a last-minute enticing deal. If you purchased early enough, you got a better seat in a same priced section as what may be discounted. It also happens in every market place. You buy something at regular price and a day later, a slashing discount may have occurred on the product you just purchased. Are you really gonna wait it out the next time you wanna purchase those carton of eggs at 30% off?

Something had to be done to get butts in the seats as it has become apparent there is not a lot of support for WSU or this game. Maybe, the promoters won't start so high with ticket prices in the first place. They were definitely out of place for this game.

[ShockerFever]

Oh and a $10 ticket won't be a prime, club-level seat, just in case you're one of those who expects every seat at every price in IBA to be golden.

Last I checked they were at row U with only V and W left...mid court of lower bowl will sellout easily. Hopefully the cheaper prices in the other areas will boost ticket sales.

Even with discounts included our average ticket price is going to be higher than the KSU vs West Virginia game... They are going to make plenty.

If you're checking those online, that won't be entirely accurate. Online ordering is computer-based "best available" where they will fill 116 up before it puts you into 115 or 117. So basically, it's not all evenly distributed (I know, sucks). Depending on quantity, you can still get relatively low in 115, for example.

I agree and hope too for your last sentence comes to fruition.

So you're saying that I shouldn't expect drink service for a sawbuck Fever?
