mrjoelabs Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 If anyone on the super secret list either doesn't want to go or would be willing to sell, I would be interested in buying. Sounds like a decent number of people in there tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 You are not sent the tix - at least from what I was told. You pick them up at the arena so I am not sure how you could get them from someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenbooster Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 You get an email, then download onto your phone. At the time of the download you ate able to transfer to someone else. Actually pretty neat. Took an old fart like me a little time to get it done, the techie young folks can do it in s flash. mhg Dr. Holly Hills and mrjoelabs like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The problem with selling your tix is that when a qualified person gets picked and can not use the tix then they move to the next qualified person in points line. By accepting and selling your tix to someone else you are actually screwing loyal fans who have given to the program for years. I personally would not sell my tix that would be unethical. slufanskip, AGB91, RUBillsFan and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUBillsFan Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I think @Billiken Rich's comment on @mrjoelabs was over the top and overly vulgar. However, I imagine he made the comment because @mrjoelabs is fairly well known on the board for being a fair-weather fan at best and an outright troll at worst. Just a week ago he was spouting off about how bad / overrated the team was after the Billikens lost the 2 games coming off the COVID pause. I don't have tickets, but if I did I would sell them to a more loyal fan or even better do what @cheeseman suggests and pass on them so they can go to the next qualified person in line. I'm sure the point system or whatever SLU AD is using to decide who gets tickets is far from perfect, but it is likely better at rewarding loyal fans than selling to a rando on a message board. rgbilliken, majerus mojo, Littlebill and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent post and that poster is exactly what you said he is and should be the last fair weather fan to get a highly coveted ticket to the game. I have met @Billikenbooster he is a great fan and friendly person he will make a good decision with the tickets. Good to see a fan like that is getting in to see the game.

Billikenbooster Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Oh, i went to the game. Just related how easy it is to transfer. If we couldn’t go, would have given them to my son. Thanks for kind words CBF. mhg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 It is important to note that people chosen to go to the games are typically only given about 48 hours notice. You have to respond to the email you get by saying whether you are able to use the tickets or not rather quickly. You are allowed to transfer tickets to someone else, but, given the small window of time between offer and needing to accept and getting the tickets and trying to transfer them to someone else, it makes it difficult to work out a deal with someone. I think the option to transfer tickets is more to allow the individual ticket to go on someone else's phone so that you don't have to show up at the same time. I get the impression that the Athletic Dept. is really wanting you to use the tickets or politely decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm on team politely decline if you aren't going to use them, instead of getting them and giving them to someone else. Let the people lower on the list potentially get a chance at attending. They pay for season tickets, they made a commitment to the program, let them have a go.

cgeldmacher Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Also, who are these people that are accepting the tickets and then now showing up to the game. For those of you that have not been yet, there are white signs on all of the seats that people are not supposed to sit in. The few seats you are allowed to sit in stand out because they don't have these signs. At game time, I looked around the arena and saw many sections of seats that were supposed be used that were empty. I can only assume that these folks responded that they wanted to use the tickets, but then found getting to Chaifetz for the game too inconvenient. I'll also give everyone one guess where all the empty seats were. Yes, down low. If you tell the Athletic Department that you want to use the seats being offered, make sure you use the tickets.

pakapablo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I have been to the last two games. My regular season tickets are in 115. It seems they are somewhat "randomly" assigning people to seats on a game by game basis to spread people out. Saturday I was up in the 200's and last night I was in 110 behind the basket. I wonder if their plans are to continue inviting the same season ticket holders or rotate the list at all. This afternoon I got an email about tickets to next Tuesday's La Salle game. After La Salle there are only two more home games. Of course there could be additional postponements or reschedules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After La Salle there are only two more home games. Of course there could be additional postponements or reschedules. I have been to the last two also and have had different seats for each. I have yet another location for tonight's game. My usual tix are also in 115 and I have been consistently in the middle rows in the 200's. It also appears that they are keeping a pretty good "DMZ" around the court with nobody sitting too close to it. Last game I was in 215 and had a video board (I assume for the TV broadcast) right in front of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
