SLU Tickets - Intrust Bank Arena

[Shock Therapy]

$10 of the $18 is a service fee for the club section. Trust me, it's worth it.

2,199 seats remain in the upper bowl (all $12 seats) and 6 seats remain in Section 103 ($57). Pretty big sales day.

Last call if you want to sit center court and gift your previous tickets.

That would be my gripe. If it's not an optional fee, then build it into the advertised ticket price. At best, it's a deceptive practice.

Furthermore, something is wrong when it costs more to have the tickets e-mailed to print at home ($2) than it does to have them snail-mailed ($0).

I really don't wanna get into this annual affair again, but that's the way ticketing works. Just look at the fees as if they were taxes. When you shop other things online, you don't know your final total until the time of checkout. Same thing with tickets. Generally, family shows and sporting events will range from $5-10 per ticket in service fees. Higher-end concerts from $10-15. Select-a-seat is less than Ticketmaster though so it could be worse.

Print-at-home fee is charged because the web host charges a fee to have the tickets emailed. Select-a-seat is not making any money off of that. And they actually lose money through the snail mail.

Also, you can avoid all fees if you purchase in person at the box office. Since it is a Sedgwick County taxpayer-funded arena, it's going to cater to Sedgwick County residents in that aspect. If that's not convenient for you, then you will be charged convenience fees accordingly so you don't have to leave the comfort of your own home or take the hassle to drive down there to get your tickets to you.

They charge the fees because they can. All other basic excuses fail basic logic examination. .. (it's ok to charge for emailing because of webhost fees, but snail mail is simply a money loser?)

The courts decided that tickrtmaster wasnt a monopoly, so on they charge...

It is true. They do it because they can. But it technically is an "optional fee", because there are ways to avoid it.

It could be worse though.

You get a lot of extra perks in club seating that no one else gets and for whatever reason they separate the fee from the tickets price. It probably has to do with how the money gets divied up. That ten dollars is for all the extra staff in that section. And if it gets added to the ticket price, that would likely drive it up even higher, as the arena only gets a percentage of the ticket sales.

New page, just to repost the PSA- 48 holdback seats remaining in Section 103 (midcourt) for $57.

This year's late release was about ~40% smaller than last year's. They are flying out the door much quicker, too.

Dang, I feel like these came available earlier, too. I wasn't ready and almost missed it. After I read this post I snagged the last two seats in Section 103, score!

Article about the redshirt situation at SLU

Apparently SLU scrimmaged Memphis. Reportedly, SLU won by two.

"SCRIMMAGE EVALUATION

The Billikens played a “secret scrimmage” at Memphis last weekend in what is a growing trend among college teams. The scrimmage was closed to fans and media, but several sources confirmed SLU beat the Tigers by two points. Memphis is just outside the top 25 in the Associated Press and coaches’ preseason polls.

“It was good because Memphis is athletic and really gets after you,” Crews said. “They pressed, which was good. I thought our guys did a good job. We shared the ball, moved the ball. We didn’t rebound very well. We got better as the game went with ball handling. At the start we weren’t very good but got really good, which I liked.”

Two days ago this would have been great news...

[AndShock]

So Memphis really does suck...
