They oversell by only 1000 and charge 125/ticket.
Gen public non-donor in the equivalent section across the way is 325/ticket.
It’s not some cash cow you seem to think it is.

The nice thing about those break games is they are right at Christmas and families buy those tkts for Christmas presents, kids are out schedules lighten up it is a great family environment, and IMO it's usually a pretty good game environment.
If you make all sections require a donation you are probably going to see season ticket sales go down. I've had corner balcony season tickets since the Wayne Morgan years which then they were $99 a season and today they are like $250 now and those are in non-donor sections. I'm sure they will increase the price again on those and if they started to require a donation for all MBB season tickets that may be the thing that would make me consider not renewing. I'm having to relocate my FB season tickets after my 3 year price lock ended and it's a big difference in donor to non-donor pricing there. $200 bump per seat for the cheapest donor sections and looks like they shrunk the number of non donor sections this year too so will be interesting what season ticket sales look like with the increase in donor level pricing along with the ticket and fee increases on top of that. Not everyone can afford donor level season tickets.
If push came to shove and I got priced out of my men's season tickets I'd probably just buy women's season tickets instead then buy some select men's games kind of like I do with the women's tickets now (which BTW are VERY family friendly with the pricing!) You still need to offer some more affordable options if you want to pack Jack Trice and Hilton consistently because with the additional financial asks of the fan base between donor level increases, ticket price increases, and the push to donate to NIL too it's going to get to the point where it's too expensive for your average fan just like it's so damn expensive to take your family to a single NFL/MLB/NBA games these days.
Are 3 of them biology?
Sorry but that softball was just waiting to be swung at. Hope you forgive me.
Warning: Old man story about to commence…
Back in MY DAY, I don’t care if I had 3 tests the next day…I NEVER missed a game in Hilton!
Hrumph!
It's a microcosm of society in general. Unless it's the NFL it just isn't a big deal anymore. It's other things also. NIL and conference realignment has killed rivalries. We don't know who's on the our opponents teams from one year to the next so it's harder to dislike them or have a Boogeyman. I would have shown up to a Mizzou-ISU game any day of the week.

How many student tickets are there? Also, do the 325/ticket people get the winter break games? Those would need to be added into the student ticket number if the 325s get those games.
The wbb tkts are going up this next yr. Not a lot but it won't be the deal we are currently getting.
about 10 more years and i will be old enough to make ops like this
Ya, would guess the university is losing money by giving the students more tickets than what they need instead of selling them to the general public.
We looked at purchasing tickets when they went on sell to football season ticket holders, the only one left were in the top two rows around the arena. I figured I would just save my money and watch them on TV.
Our two tickets will be $500 next season they were $400 this year. We sit in the NW corner of the lower bowl.
I'm sure but they wont be outpricing their base I'm sure. Between JCC for my kids and they $1 and $5 ticket deals they run we've made several cheap games this year and sat just a few rows from the court behind the basket.
Just curious how they rig the system. I honestly don’t know.
Last night I can’t blame students for staying home with -9 windchill and a crappy Colorado team.
-9 windchill in the winter is as normal as the sun rising in the morning.
