If there are Uconn fans present the athletics department needs to reevaluate itself....
I know quite a few SHU fans who did not get tickets but did apply

I read 70% went to students. Maybe they sold them, lol.
From what I’ve seen shu did not make tickets available for UConn players family..... and I don’t know if this is true at all, just was curious if anyone heard anything. I haven’t seen or heard anything other than this tweet and another one
That would be the epitome of embarrassing for any team's fans.
If SHU athletic dept opened this game up to UConn they are complete and utter idiots. No other way to describe it.
What did RU ticket office do to SHU fans last game at the Rac?

If that’s the case they should’ve just kept it closed to fans.
Seems you're wrong. And seems SHU athletic dept is full of absolute idiots.
I received tickets and they cannot be resold and you must bring your cell phone to the game to verify your tickets. I would assume that students (all of whom received free tickets) will be transported to the game by the school. I doubt that UConn fans have obtained many tickets.
We’re talking about a ticket office that opened up the upper tier of the rock one year solely to accommodate the demand from cuse fans. Nothing would surprise me.
There's a big difference between using another school's fans for a money grab and screwing your own fans out of any portion of a very limited number of seats.
All I know is that when I went in to order a ticket late Thursday before the deadline to do so, I received a message saying the game was sold out.
I'm not particularly upset that I couldn't get a ticket but I'd be more so if more than a handful of tickets found their way to Storrs.
Yup. Lots of people on the Huskies forum got tickets. Seems like they just put in requests and the school assigned them randomly.

Seton Hall 3/3 - anyone else get tickets?
I took a flyer in put in for 4 via the lottery system or whatever they had to allocate. I was very surprised to see an email come through today that I got them! Super excited to see this year's Husky team in person. I know capacity is only 10% - but I was hoping a bunch of UCONN fans will be...
I believe everything I read on these forums. LOL!!! Assuming these jokers are being truthful, all of maybe 5 posters got tickets.Yup. Lots of people on the Huskies forum got tickets. Seems like they just put in requests and the school assigned them randomly.

Even if it's five, that's a bad job by us. If we're obligated to give UConn some tickets, I'm fine with that. Not ensuring that all available tickets in the lottery go to students, season ticket holders and Pirate Blue donors is unacceptable.
I'm a 30-plus year season ticket holder and PB donor with season ticket money already banked for next year and I couldn't even apply for a ticket.
Correct. even if the ticket office turned down one seton hall season ticket holder to give to a uconn fan that is entirely unacceptable. There is one game this year. 1,800 tix available. It’s senior night. There are no excuses.
If there wasn’t enough demand amongst seton hall fans then there’s nothing they could do, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Several people here didn’t get tickets. Like I said above - I’m not surprised.

Uconn coaches and players families should be accommodated, that is it
you have a dress code in a private school, why cant a private facility mandate a dress code? royal blue only!
Most of our fans wouldn’t get in because they don’t wear that either
its an embarrassment if true and made worse that it is senior night.
I agree it's disappointing to see that UConn fans got tickets, but the part I don't understand is money from unselected applications being refunded - why not put it into account credit? Hopefully they are and that was just an unspecified "form of refund" or something like that. If you're going to offer "general public" applications at least use it as a cash grab. Keep the $40/seat as account credit to use for next year. It shouldn't be much of a problem for SHU fans - apply them to your season tickets if you have them otherwise there's a nice selection of games to go to.
Then for next year's UConn game of course - presale first to limit public availibility then jack up the prices for if/when it does go publicily available. All the UConn fans that applied for this game are already in the hole $40/seat so they can either eat the cost, pay inflated prices to come to the game they want to see, or come watch us play someone else.
And regarding ticket allotments for this game - they disclosed that students and STH have priority so they don't even have to make a lot of tickets available to the "general public including UConn fans" bucket, it just has to be more than zero. Maybe 100 or so.

why would I be? Either make money or shut UConn fans out. Don't let them in and give their money back.
I know a season ticket holder who did not get tickets and he applied for them. So it seems like SHU didn't even give all the season ticket holders who applied tickets before giving them to UConn fans. Absolutely embarrassing for the Athletic Dept and ticket dept.
Totally agree. My preference absolutely would have been to limit it exclusively to students and STH. I'm simply saying that if they're going to open it up to the general public and thus UConn fans (as they did) - at least make some extra money on it. It's as simple as holding the money with the application as account credit rather than refunding it. There's no harm to SHU fans as it's money they would likely spend anyway and you make something extra on the UConn fans who apply.
Interesting... So are the UConn fans really trolling? That'd be a real waste of time.
