Anyone have an idea what the advanced sale is looking like for the Xaiver game? (If it is very high, do you think they might open up a section of the upper deck for the game?) GO PIRATES!
Xaiver Game Advanced Sale
- Thread starter Pesto Pirate
- Start date
I would hope they were get enough turn out especially from the students to have to open the upper section. With that said, I would also hope they open enough concession stands instead of keeping over half of them closed.
I don't think there is a chance they announce opening up the top less than 1 week prior to the game. They would have wanted to maximize sales and get a good idea of the number of extra workers needed by now. Not to mention it looks like there is easily 1,500 lower level seats available at this point and probably over 2,000 tickets available for the PC game. Frustrating to see because these kids deserve better.
for the last remaining home games, Seton Hall is running a buy one get one free promo for student tickets...hopefully that will help fill the seats
The problem with the Xavier game is spring break starts Saturday and the residence halls close that morning. Obviously bad timing and would have been nice to have a Villanova type turnout but probably isn't going to happen. Hopefully the local students get to the game somehow.
I don't know if it's an NCAA violation, why not go to Ish's old high school 1 mile from the PruCenter and just give them 200 tickets and build up some goodwill in the community. Why not give 200 tickets to some charity or group in Plainfield that Derrick might have had been involved in at some point.
That's not going to happen overnight. Hopefully this season is the start of a long stretch of NCAA tournament appearances.
Can someone explain why Winter Break and Spring Break are always used as excuses for lack of student support? Aren't most Seton Hall students local?
Not anymore. 80% of freshman live on campus now and a high percentage either live on campus or locally near the University in off campus housing. When I went 80% were commuters now its the other way around.
Thanks but my point was that even if students go home during break aren't many of them still in the tri-state area? I imagine most (non-student) fans attending games are coming from beyond South Orange and that doesn't seem to stop them (unless of course it's 9pm on a Wednesday
).I remember spring break in 1992 - we were in Daytona, Florida bar watching Terry and company hand MIssouri a nice beatdown to get to the sweet sixteen (where they lost to eventual champ Duke). I think the first round was a close one with LaSalle.Thanks but my point was that even if students go home during break aren't many of them still in the tri-state area?

Yep, at 20yo a Florida spring break trumps anytown, NJ or in this case Greensboro, NC. I can't jump on the kids if they have some good plans for break. Now if they're sitting at home playing xbox, then they need to get their a$$ to the Rock vs Xavier- biggest game in years.

Most students go away for spring break.
In my four years...Jamaica, Cancun, Acapulco, Montreal.
Spring break trips are planned months in advance, but no reason to have huge pockets of seats unsold in the corners for this game. That has nothing to do with the students. Young alums, old alums, people who just don't want to go across the river to watch a basketball game are the people we need to fill those seats
