It was a reward for those purchasing season tickets early. Good incentive.
The school already had a open 20 minute scrimmage for everyone. And they have an exhibition game coming up next Saturday vs. Baruch.
After a season ending like last, with so many disgusted by us keeping our coach, sorry, awful time to ignore other season ticket holders. Maybe some take this as incentive. But for me, it just pisses me off.
I would have gone to the 20 minute practice if I didn't have a 2 hours round trip. And I have bought my Walsh tickets. But I still think this was stupid marketing decision at a time such as now.
Agree...this was not a smart decision by the Hall. Well-intended, but a poor call. I'm sure 75 isn't the only pissed off season ticket holder.
Agree, this was low brow. All season ticket holders should have been invited. I am no longer a season ticket holder, but for those that are this is an insult.

Not a season ticket holder but this would piss me off too if I was. Curious how this offered any incentive for prospective new season ticket owners. Someone's going to buy them just because they have semi exclusive access to one preseason practice? Seems to be yet another misstep by the admin or whoever makes these decisions (Lyons?).
I think it's the right call to reward the most loyal fans. The early season ticket holders are your most engaged. Makes sense to me.
The most loyal and engaged fans are those who have been season ticket holders year after year after year and for them to be excluded because they didn't purchase their tickets early just doesn't seem right to me. Yet while I think offering an incentive for those who do buy their season tickets early is a good idea this restricted practice is not what I would have chosen as the incentive.
If you're a season ticket holder, aren't you insulted enough already??
I'm not saying it was wrong. If you're a Seton Hall season ticket holder, you've been getting punched in the face for years. You're like the abused who refuses to leave. If you buy season tickets at any time, you're complicit in the beatings. Shut up and take your punishment. Season ticket sales are up, that sends the message that all is OK.
What? Because they pony up the bucks earlier they're more engaged. Maybe there are financial reasons involved when renewing. Nonsense.
Man, what a bunch of whiners. There are several opportunities (at least 3 that I can think of) to see the team before they take the floor on November 13. This particular one was for a certain group of people that met a certain requirement. If you wanted to attend this particular event, then you should have met the requirement. If you didn't renew early, but still want to see the team in the preseason, then you should have attended the open practice during University Weekend, or attend the exhibition this Saturday. Pretty simple really, not sure why so many people are complaining about it.
The people that will sign up for season tix early just to see a scrimmage will sign up for season tix anyway. Whats the benefit besides giving the team a weak turnout of fans?
Isn't it obvious? They're hoping that more people will re-new earlier next year.
One man's weak turnout is another man's exclusive access.
Whether early or late, does anyone know if renewals were up, down or flat?

This was part of the promotion where those who paid $150.00 early were eligible to win a prize every day in the month of I think May. The open practice was part of the same promotion. A fun event and a very nice jesture by SHU athletics and seton hall basketball.
Open practice has usually been a perk for season ticket holders. No one said they were changing the rules this year. I think it is bad marketing. After last season, they may be appreciative we renewed at any time. And having more fans there is always better. But I agree, not a big deal.
Just stupid. If they send me an email saying renew early and get such and such, I have no right moaning. But they didn't.
Actually 75 for the past 2 seasons it was a prize for the hd1 pirate crew-pirate blue donation challenge.
If that is the case, I am all wet on this.
Maybe. I remember going with a friend years ago when I did not have season tickets. But enough on this from me. I really don't care much though I do think it stupid.
