Saturday's Clash Between Seton Hall and No. 7 Marquette is SOLD OUT!​

South Orange, N.J. - The Seton Hall Athletics ticket office has announced that Saturday's clash between the Pirates and No. 7 Marquette at Prudential Center has sold out! Fans interested in tickets are now limited to the secondary market and can search verified resale listings on Ticketmaster or their preferred secondary market outlet.

There is a chance that seats may become available on gameday in person at the Prudential Center box office beginning at 11 a.m., but it is not guaranteed.

Saturday will be Seton Hall's second lower bowl sellout of the season and 39th overall in 17 seasons at Prudential Center.

Fans who miss out on tickets to Saturday's game still have three additional opportunities to watch the Pirates in BIG EAST action this month. Seton Hall hosts St. John's on Tuesday, Jan. 16 (8:30 p.m.), Creighton on Saturday, Jan. 20 (noon) and Providence on Wednesday, Jan. 24 (6:30 p.m.). Single-game tickets to these games and all remaining Pirates home games in 2023-24 are available on Ticketmaster.

Sweet! Now let’s pull out another win!

Students on break - will most of them actually show up?

 

[dehere23]

Why didn’t they open the upper level for this game? Saturday in early January, no real football competition, against a top 10 high profile opponent?

Because the bottom didn’t sell out until today?

 

[HallX2]

Don’t see Marquette traveling all that well. At least they haven’t in the past. Should be 90% plus for the Pirates.

As I recall, MU typically has a solid presence at our games

Someone who knows better can correct me but I feel like they have a sizable alumni base in the area.

You could be right. Just don’t recall seeing all that many.

They usually had a solid contingent during the Wojo/Markus Howard era but not as much in recent years.

I was not at the MU game last season but it didn’t seem like they had much of a fan presence on TV

 

[walshtrips]

Don't let the threat of snow keep you home. The heavy snow won't arrive until late afternoon.

These guys need our support tomorrow. GO PIRATES!!!

Not that it proves my point but something I did find funny.

I went out to dinner tonight (and I am wearing a Pirate hat and carrying a Pirate drawstring bag -- not to mention the Seton Hall quarter zip under my jacket). As i am walking into the restaurant, the gentleman of the couple leaving was wearing a Marquette sweatshirt.

I did resist the urge to say "Go Pirates!" Lol.

 

[dehere23]

I don't recall them having a sizeable presence at our arena. MSG for the Big East tourney I've seen them have pretty large contingents.

 

[garyshu71]

There will definitely be a large contingent from Berks County. Stevie Mitchell went to Wilson High School in West Lawn. (Same school as Kerry Collins and Chad Henne.) They love their athletes there.

The threat of weather may keep the Pennsylvanians from making the trip.

 

[Seton75]

My son and I sat among a bunch of Marquette fans at that great BET game. Things were chippy in the stands too. Ultimately nothing happened but both sides were, lets us say, engaged.

I remember that. There was a group near me that I thought might eventually get into it.

I had a friend who was working security at the Garden at the time who told me they were busier than usual that night.

 

[PMB Pirate]

I have 2 tickets that I can't use unfortunately. They are in a suite with no food or booze but it will get you in the building. Just provide an email and I'll get them to you, no charge.

 

[radecicco]

I’m an old dude but some Marquette fans called security on me. I had to talk fast to convince them that I was harmless. I rank that game as one of the craziest I ever attended.

My group of 10 drove a group of stuck up snobby MU fans out of our section... Life lesson don't act like a-holes and think a bunch of Essex and Hudson county residents won't give it right back to you. 😂

 

[PiratePride]

How is it a sellout with students on

 

[PiratePride]

I guess that's the rub.... students with season tickets who won't be there
The season ticket holders are all counted as sold tickets.

 

[MooneyHall07]

I don't recall them having a sizeable presence at our arena. MSG for the Big East tourney I've seen them have pretty large contingents.

Yeah I went four years ago to the Markus vs. Myles show and they did not have any sizable presence that I can remember.

 

[SOSHU]

Yeah I went four years ago to the Markus vs. Myles show and they did not have any sizable presence that I can remember.

I was at the Big East Semi when Hall played Marquette at the garden. Absolutely unreal atmosphere, almost missed last train out of NY Penn station.

I should have clarified..this was the 2020 game in Newark I went to. And that msg semi final atmosphere did look amazing watching on tv.

 

[Seton75]

Every section but the students. If they are away cant they give away their ticket to a local kid

Guess they count the tickets distributed to students as “sold”

 

[HallX2]

To those at the game how well did Marq travel?

 

[shupat08]

To those at the game how well did Marq travel?

A few small groupings of supporters in different sections throughout the arena.

 

[Hall84]

Yeah, not too many
uconn had way more

 

[garyshu71]

The threat of weather may keep the Pennsylvanians from making the trip.

Didn’t stop me!! Glad I made the trek!

 

[PiratePride]

Not too many MU fans in attendance. We had a husband and wife sitting next to us. They were vets of the '77 MU National Championship. We shared stories about Al McGuire and the New York McGuire clan. It was fun chatting with them a bit. But when we first met, we got the obligatory " The Hall always plays us tough". I had the feeling they really didn't mean that. But they were pleasant folks.

 

[Piratz]

Crowd was great.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Yeah the crowd yesterday was fantastic. Only a few Marquette fans in the stands.

 

[Seton75]

Best crowd ever in nwk if you ask me.

 

[dehere23]

Best crowd ever in nwk if you ask me.

I wasn’t there only watched on TV. But with the upper bowl closed that would surprise me.

 

[shu09]

Would be incredibly difficult to top SJU/Villanova back to back in 2015, Xavier in 2016, Michigan State in 2019, and a couple other Nova games (2018 & 2020 come to mind, even though they were losses. 2019 was great too.). But people tend to forget and have recency bias.
