Why only 1 hat? Lol

$25 tickets for a team that can't beat MSM, Towson and struggled for awhile against D III competition. I see attendance taking a big hit this year.

But if you don't buy season tickets you can get a way better deal via the mini plans or the "outrageous" deal for the JMU... this always bothers me as a season ticket holder. Lower the season ticket price and guarantee a couple more sales, even if people don't show. Instead it seems like you backhand the season ticket holders by offering these other deals.

It also makes me sad, because it's a clear sign they don't expect people to show up and are doing anything to get people on the door. Odds are there are more JMU fans this year.

Brad,

If you're reading this thread, let's call a spade a spade. Last night, the women won by 27 pts. (60-33) and the headline on gomason.com is "Mason Smothers Norfolk State in Blowout." The men lost by 37 pts. (93-56) and the headline is "Patriots Drop Game to Houston at Gulf Coast Showcase."

Pretty clear after last night the only way we're gonna break the cycle is putting some serious capital into the program. Which is a nasty cycle because the more we suck, the less people want to invest, the more we suck and so on. Dave is a better coach than Hewitt but not as good of a recruiter. Which is fine, can't be A+ at everything, but we're gonna need some SERIOUS facility upgrades to compete on the recruiting trail. We are the biggest school in the A10, time to start pulling in the resources to prove it.

Cant blame the casual fan. Since the OCM left we have let them down.

Since we didn't keep him, you mean?

I sent a tweet to Brad Edwards and Cabrera with a picture of all the empty seats saying I would attend a lot more games if tickets were 10 dollars instead of $25.

To my surprise BE sent me a private message saying I should look at the "top of the nation season tickets" because they are $9 per game. I appreciate Brad sending me a message but season tickets are not for me. Please don't jump down my throat everyone. I am still a fan! hahah. But maybe you should tweet at him and he will send you a shirt haha.

You mean your life doesn't revolve around Mason basketball!?!

That's a great deal for the JMU game. Too bad other than my gf there is no way I could convince two other people to watch Mason basketball in it's current state. It's like when I used to get extra free tickets to DC United games and couldn't give them away. Being a fan of fringe sports teams is definitely not glorious but the payoff is much sweeter when they finally find success.

4 chick-fil-a meals included in the deal, yet you can't redeem them in the arena, during the game? TF is the point of that?

Who cares...you're getting 4 tickets for $9.75 each. Everything else is just a bonus...hit the Chick-Fil-A drive thru on the way home.

$9.75 is about $9.75 too much to watch this s*** show right now. Good incentive to get more people in the seats with free concessions for the family/friends.

Brad,

If you're reading this thread, why don't the season ticket holders get deals like this?

 

[GSII]

No. Meaning we have put a crappy team out there for past 4 years.

I think one of the advantages for season ticket holders is better seats, in terms of closer to the court. Then again, one must donate to the Patriot Club to keep those seats, and depending on which section/row, the donation amount varies.

I don't know about that. JMU is worse than we are this year.

Brad,

If you're reading this thread, please check on the status of Mason's re-launch of its Athletics Hall of Fame - see https://gazette.gmu.edu/articles/3254.

 

[Herndon]

Dude, that's a good deal, regardless of complaints.

Brad,
If you are reading this, we need a video scoreboard. I went to a Binghamton University game today and their arena put one in recently. If they can put one in.....

 

[GMUSig03]

So many of you are the biggest bunch of whiners I have ever seen. MAKE EVERYTHING CHEAP! BUILD A PRACTICE FACILITY WITH MAGICAL MONEY THAT I'M NOT WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE! WAH WAH WAH

Brad, if you are reading this, ignore most of what you have read and keep doing what you are doing - digging us out of the whole our prior admin AND lackadaisical fan base has put us in.

Read an article from the Post from 2015 that said Brad and the AD put together a committee that's looking at major renovations or a new arena. Anyone more connected than I know anything about this or where they are with any decisions?

Brad,

If you're reading this, shouldn't Patriot Club members be kept apprised?
