Okay, I do not like that we have to buy tickets for three other games to get tickets to the Bradley/Michigan game. I'm thinking of coming down to Peoria to take in that game with two others, but I don't think it's fair to have to wait until 10 AM on the day of the game to see if any tickets are available! Does anyone here know if there is any way we can get single tickets for this game?

Bradley/Michigan tickets
- Thread starter Bravesfan
- Start date
If you can arrange a large enough group, call the group sales and I think you can still get a block of tickets. (And possibly a discount)
Otherwise, I would guess they might have to change the "package" after the 1st game in the pack is played on Friday...or will they still be selling 3 games for the price of 4?

That is just one of the reasons it doesn't seem to be a very well thought-out plan. Beginning Saturday, the 4-pack will only consist of 3 remaining games.
* The Dec. 1 game versus Michigan may be purchased in advance only as part of the FAN-tastic 4-Pack
Any remaining tickets to be sold Dec. 1

I think the decision to sell the Mich.game tickets in a package with 3 other games is the worst decision our athletic dept has made in my 45 years of being a season ticket holder. I did not renew my tickets this year because I will be in FL . from the day after X-mas til the middle of Feb. Therefore I would only see 2 of the 4 games. I will not waste my time on game day to run down to the CC,get my tickets and then return later that night. I will stay home and listen to the best announcer in the country. I hope somebody involved with this decision will rethink that type of sale in the future. Just my opinion.
Thank you! Agreed 100%.
After Fridays game I would expect BU to change this policy and just sell tickets period .
Much the same way it was stated the start time of Friday's game would depend on the outcome of Wednesday's soccer game and then the basketball start time was announced on Tuesday? :roll:
I'm still wondering why exactly the start time for Friday's game wasn't announced until 3 days prior to the game.
I'm in the same boat, as I go to Arizona for the Winter months, leaving mid-December. The ONLY thing I miss while I'm in God's country is Bradley basketball. Probably had season tickets for longer than the person who made this ridiculous decision has been alive.
Yep, young people can't weigh pro vs. cons effectively, that must be it... :roll:
You know what I meant.

People may not like it but its not a bad policy. This will probably be the best attended game of the year and with season ticket sales down its a good way to sell some tickets to less desirable games. Also, by doing this you discourage a lot of Michigan fans who might otherwise make up a big portion of the crowd since they may not want to shell out the $$$ for other Bradley tickets just to get the single game. The only legitimate reason to change this policy early is if ticket sales for the game have been REALLY bad and I would doubt that that is the case. Its not a great deal for those of you that are headed to warmer climates soon but you could always shell you the cash and but the ticket pack, use the ones for the Michigan game and donate the rest to a school or charitable organisation like Big Brother/Big Sister.
When you have a highly desirable product, then you can market it this way- But using the best game to force your fans to buy tickets they would not be as likely to buy for other games can have a negative effect in some cases. When the product is not so good, you run the risk of alienating the fans you have left, and perhaps some will just skip all the games.
Right on Coach. Won't keep me from seeing the other games before I leave though.

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!
