Curious who renewed or didn't renew their season tickets...why or why not?
I still haven't but am considering it - really on the fence a month away from tip-off.
Pros:
- seeing friends and regulars at the games
- giving away tickets to games I can't make
- the ex-soccer player who yells "Are you kidding me?" and sometimes launches into a soliloquy that is part Shakespeare / part Jules from Pulp Fiction at every bad ref call
- feeling a sense of alumni pride in supporting the team
Cons:
- OOC schedule isn't exciting enough to make the trip to 20th and Olney on a weeknight
- other family / work priorities - the team/coaching just isn't holding my interest as much
- masking in the sauna for 2 hours isn't exactly enticing
- lack of follow-through from promises made last year by Athletic Dept pissing off supporters who hung in there
- still no facilities announcements of any kind
Others' pros and cons who have or have not renewed?

I renewed my 2 tickets and am looking forward to the games. I don't see any cons that are directly related to seeing them play. Would I like them in a new arena? Of course, but I'm still going to the games regardless. I go because I enjoy watching them play (and yelling at the refs). Everything else is superfluous in my opinion..

I renewed my tickets. Commuting from the Delaware beaches will be somewhat of a hassle, however, I used to commute from Baltimore.

You've enjoyed watching them the last 3 years? You sick masochist. |

Gave up my season tickets 2 years ago and won’t be renewing any time soon. Still follow the team and root for them but given their play the last
couple of years and driving into that city just doesn’t make sense for me any longer. Need more reason to make the trip.

I am wearing a 25 year old Starboard hoody, while doing yardwork. '84, love Coastal Sussex. It is too damn crowded in the summer time. |

Renewed but before I was aware of mask mandate. Will probably suck that up this year and hope this gets eased up if Sixers, TU or St Joe's fans go maskless.
If 21/22 makes for another sub .500 A10 record, I am out next year

I didn't always like the way they played or some of the losses, but I guess I'm inured to it after the G years. |

Ordered mine this year to make up for missing all of the games last year. I will be taking advantage of the new "flex plan", dropping about 5 games in order to double up on some other games, and bring an extra family member.
A big advantage I saw to getting season tickets right now is there are still great seats available. I didn't want to wait until they start winning to buy individual game tickets and maybe get relegated to seats that are much farther away from the court.

Don't have season tickets but if you guys have games you don't wanna go to and wanna sell yours, you can PM me. I prefer 3 (have a 6 and 4 year old boys) but ill buy two and take turns taking them.
But aside from that, I plan to still try to get there 3-5 times as I usually do.

I just renewed my two...encouraged by some things I heard about facilities they haven't announced yet (they really need to get it announced as part of the admissions cycle).
I'll likely only make about half the games, so as always, I'll give the tickets away for games I can't make, and I'll put some up for grabs on here.

I've gotten single games over the years, but I stopped getting season tickets.....I think it was Speedy's last year or maybe the year before.
When they start winning consistently again and putting a non-league schedule together like they used to with a few games with schools like Notre Dame, Syracuse, Ohio State, etc., then we'll be getting season tickets again.
Going down there to see the Sacred Hearts, Albanys, or Fairleigh Dickinsons of the world? I'll watch them on television.

Only game I might go to is the army game. We should have a good record going into A10s. |

Sounds like we are getting a new arena with "the Chocolate Factory" money as ground breaking starts! |

I received an email today about renewing my season tickets for next year. It reminded me of this thread. I applaud the outreach, but...yeesh...do they really think they've put a product on the floor where people are lining up to renew?
