excellent...free pizza and cheap basketball!!!

finally this University knows how to please a college student

[real fan]

No reason why Bradley should not get at least 1000 students to the game with this kind of promotion; hope some students just don"t show up to have free pizza and drink and then not attend the game.

They need to make it that you have to have a ticket to the game to get the food. I hope that is how it works.

Students have to pay??

Does the Bradley Student Body have to pay to attend the basketball games? Whats the cost? Students at Ohio University get in free to all Home games with the showing of their Ohio University Student ID, and they have great seats, Student Section is right down the full court line. The Student section is called The O'zone.

BU students pay $1, and get a free bus ride to the Civic Center. The arena is a few miles from campus. They are located with the band at the visitor's end of the court.

As of noon yesterday, the nice man at the field house ticket counter said they would be 500+ students at the game. Not sure if that was actual tickets sold or what they're expecting.

[Da Coach]

Aren't there are lot of students returning today? If so, they should sell a lot of student tickets tomorrow.

$1 for every game?

Bradley Students pay $1 for every Bradley Basketball game with a FREE Bus ride? or just a $1 for this game.

Every game.

But they don't get the pizza and soda party every game.

The school offers season tickets for $20, and that deal comes with a 'free' tshirt... That's what most of us do.

Yep, I am returning today and will buy my tickets tomorrow

I've never understood the 1.00 charge. Its a great deal but it makes you look cheap. IF your going to discount the tickets to a dollar why not go the extra step...increase participation and make it free.

I know a dollar...free whats the difference. To me its easier to mkt. People love freebies.....ever see all the cr@p people take home from all those shows at the Civic center. If you charged a measly dollar for that stuff no one would take anything home.

BOTH end zones should be open to the students. Make ONE red and the other White. Make it a competition. The loudest "zone" gets the after game party.

Just a thought. With that said congrats to BU for promoting this game and getting the students there.

2 Reasons;

Percieved Value - If a ticket costs SOMETHING even a dollar it creates a demand for it, there are a limited number.

Orginization - If tickets have no cost there is nothing keeping students from just getting tons every game and never going, it would make it incredibly difficult to maintain accurate numbers or to project how many students would be attending.

Sure there is. First off, tickets have ALWAYS been a dollar and there have ALWAYS been busses. They're just adding free pizza for an hour. 1,000 students is 25% campus and to be honest, students just dont care about the CBI/NIT. Not only that but its the day after easter. Most students just skip class and come back late Monday or early Tuesday.
