      ... At the end, of the storm, there's a golden sky. And the sweet silver song of the lark. Walk on, through the wind, walk on, through the rain, though your dreams be tossed, and blown. Walk on, Walk on with hope in your hearts, and you'll never walk alone!

        I'm with you Chico,I'll be at all the games but Mich. B4 I leave. They can take that game away but they won't break the spirit. I've already bought my tickets for the Nov. and pre X-mas games in Dec. Go Braves

          It's not a good policy when one of the games is already included in the Valley ticket package. I'm also not sure how the ISU ans WSU games are considered "less desirable".

            Totally agreed!

              Any game in this four-pack is less desirable than the Michigan game.

                  Taken out of context, sure.

                  I don't think that's what the original poster was trying to say when it's taken in the context that "its a good way to sell some tickets to less desirable games". I don't think the ISU or the WSU games will have problems selling tickets.

                  Anyways, I don't understand why they would include a game that's already part of another package that's offered and easily renewable by the loyal Bradley fans every single year.

                    Has anyone called Mike Cross directly regarding this issue? I'd love to know his take.

                      You'd think the local writers that get paid to cover Bradley would have asked about the ticket situation by now.

                        How much of this has to do with trying to discourage Michigan fans from buying up a lot of tickets. I am sure that there are plenty in Central Illinois.

                          Has anyone emailed Kirk Wessler to ask him if he's called Mike Cross to ask about this?

                            I hope that isn't the reasoning, since it seems to be at the expense of the loyal Bradley fans! That makes perfect sense when attendance is down and you're hopefully trying to sell more tickets for a last-place team.

                            Apparently, anyone that renews their Valley ticket package each year should not do so in the future. That way, we can pick and choose exactly which games we want to spend our money on and we don't have to purchase tickets to the same game twice.

                              I have no idea if anyone has emailed Kirk about this. I did just send him a tweet though.

                              Guess I just figured the guys reporting on Bradley basketball would be aware of the issues that concern the fans. I was probably wrong.

                                As far as ticket concerns go, they probably don't know if nobody says anything to them about it. I'd also encourage folks to reach out to Dr. Cross. I've always found him to be very engaging and open to questions and concerns.
