Sellout?

Going on to ticketmaster there were still decent lower bowl seats left. Being the last game of the year/senior night/very important for seeding/a redout, do you think we will fill Carver? You'd like to think so but seeing what was left I'm not so sure now :|

I don't expect a crowd much bigger than average. 10K

They should have a deal on tickets for this game like ISU is doing.

Ive said this before but our marketing just isnt up to par. We do have a fairly well established and loyal fan base, however the same color shirts that everyone that goes has 19 of simply isnt adequate marketing for a year. Especially with the economy and unemployment, it is amazing to me to see the lack of ticket deals and price breaks we provide.
 
I agree. I have some friends that are Bradley fans but don't have the money to take the family to the game.Times are tough right now.

I think this is one of the biggest reasons for a little dropoff of attendance.
I know several families who always buy tickets before the season and go to a bunch of selected games per year. Because of the economy, the lack of Saturday night games, and the abundance of Wednesday night games (church activities for many people) they held off buying tickets, and have bought for just a couple games as the year went along. Since the BracketBuster game was an unknown opponent, it may have suffered more than the conference games. I think we'll have 10,000.

14-13, 8-8

I think that is the reason that people find other ways to spend their time & money. People love a winner.

I agree because had we won all the home games that we pretty much blew at the end this game could have been for 2nd place and most likely a sellout, I think we will most likely see around 9400.

There is a very good price break available every year......the "Mini-Pack" includes 8 conference games. This only costs $70 instead of the regular ticket price of $112. That's only $8.75 per game and amounts to a 37.5% discount.

Aren't student tickets only $1? The student section should be FULL for every game. It's their school after all.

The economy is a huge factor. People are less to go out to a game with their family and spend $100 when it all said and done regardless of record if their budgets are tight. I know I have curtailed my extracurricular spending and it has nothing to do with those teams record.

I have seen it first hand. I have friends who are die-hard Bradley fans, and would not let an 0-25 record stop them from going to as many games if they could afford it.

I know it was a Saturday night, but isn't that what we got for Drexel? I'd hope we sell more tickets for Senior Night against the 2nd-place team with so much on the line.

Being a student who attends every game, I can tell you we have a very uninformed student population. Why on game days theres no one outside of cafeterias, the student center, etc selling tickets is beyond me. And other than an also ineffective weekly email with all school events, theres not much to tell the casual fan when games are.

Ive been to every game at home but 1, and unfortunately that one wasnt one of our losses. So yes to the sarcasm

Most BU students come when BU is very good...otherwise forget it.

I have always said that BU has the most fickle student-fans of anywhere I have seen. Even when I was a student, they never came to games.

They need to start selling those seats to other fans and moving the students to somewhere else if were are only going to get a handful of em.
 
Despite the disappointing record, and the economical issues, Bradley is still drawing well by comparison to the other teams in the MVC, and nationally. The majority of college teams have seen a decline in attendance.

According to the MVC, Bradley's average attendance for all home games is 9,349.
Bradley's average of 9,349 ranks third behind Creighton, and Wichita State, as it does every year. BU is still more than 2000 per game ahead of the 4th ranked team in attendance (MSU).

Bradley's average home attendance last year was 9,110, so they are on pace to exceed last year's average.

School...............2009-10....2008-09....Diff.
Northern Iowa......5,511........4,212....+1,299
Indiana State.......4,392........4,009....+383
Wichita State......10,398......10,094....+304
Bradley................9,349........9,110....+239
Missouri State.......7,265........7,147....+118
Creighton........... 15,934......15,930....+4
Illinois State.........6,532........7,118....-586
Drake..................4,406........5,101....-695
Evansville............4,840........5,863....-1,023
Southern Illinois....4,774........5,892....-1,118

This years stats-scroll down about 1/2 way to see attendance numbers-

I am not arguing your numbers or trying to start something here, but....

Tickets sold and tickets used are two different things. I understand BU only cares about the # sold, but the actual attendance at games SEEMS down to me this year.
