SLU Tickets - Intrust Bank Arena

[Kung Wu]

It was mostly packed. There was one section, I think 209, that had 3-4 rows almost empty. No idea how that happened since everywhere else was quite full

Probably tickets purchased by St Louis fans that came to their senses before spending the money on a bus and driving to Wichita just to witness a curb stomping.

Then the game shouldn't be listed on the Guide as being scheduled on Fox Sports Midwest.

Regardless, Cox sucks. And this is the one major flaw in the promotion of WSU basketball.

$$$$$$$

I enjoy being able to watch 35 games a season on Cox.

So WSU fans that have Cox are more important than WSU fans that don't. Good for you.

On game day, when the game is only on Cox we are lol!

I'm a UVerse customer; that hurts!





















Guess I'll just have to resort to using my season tickets.

Is it fair that games on ESPN are not available to people who dont have it?

Is it fair that those with season tickets get to watch the home games live and those without cannot?

Clearly Cox is willing to pay more than others to carry the games. I am not a fan of their customet service, but they understand the programming that people are willing to pay for.

Exactly.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

Regardless of what you think of Cox as a cable/internet provider, pulling exclusive rights to Shocker games is a cheap shot. It's like if they wanted to show Shocker games exclusively to Andover residents and you said "Welp, you shoulda moved to Andover then." The two things are independent.

People want to choose their provider based on quality of service, not on who is restricting others from airing Shocker games. I appreciate that Cox is willing to air these games, but it's less about 'exclusivity' here and more about monopoly.

What do you think exclusivity means?

[WstateU]

I live in Nebraska and it was on foxsports midwest here with a ton of st. louis commericals!

Just curious; was it Mark Ewing and Bob Hull with the call?

"Watching our Billikens get torched, sure has me thinking of good ol' St Louis Barbecue! Come on down and get your burnt ends!"

You have the option to purchase ESPN with any basic cable/satellite package. There is ZERO option for me to purchase Cox 22 games on Uverse. If there was an option, I would exercise that option, but there is not. I still would think the Cox-WSU sucks balls, but if I had an option to pay for it, I think a lot of non-Cox customers would probably pony up. But we don't because we can't. Again, ZERO option.

Your second question is even more ridiculous than the first. Season ticket holders are paying a PREMIUM price to watch the home games LIVE. If you didn't get a chance to snag them up back in the day, or if you live out of town, whose fault is that? The season ticket holders?

Nice try though.

How sad is that people in Louisiana have better WSU viewing options than some in WSU's own damn city?

And let me guess. We should just switch cable companies and succumb to a monopoly and be happy about it? LOL. No.

People who have Cox think everything is peaches and cream. I'd wonder how they'd feel if Uverse had exclusive rights to carry certain Shocker games. For some reason, I think these people who are so adamant about defending the Cox deal would finally see the light and change their tunes.

[pinstripers]

WSU basketball is the reason that I stay with Cox.
