UConn Begs Fans To Buy Tickets To Fiesta Bowl

[Street Novelist]

"As of Monday night, only 4,000 (out of the allotted 17,500) tickets had been sold, meaning UConn was still holding roughly $2.5 million in unsold tickets."

 

"That enormous financial loss has Randy Edsall reduced to begging fans to buy full-priced tickets - while also footing the accompanying travel costs - despite the fact that ticket brokers are hawking Fiesta Bowl seats online for $18."

 

"“If you have the opportunity and the wherewithal to make it happen, (you) should make it happen, because this is a once in a lifetime experience for the most part. This might be the only Fiesta Bowl we go to. We hope it’s not, but if you have the opportunity to go, (you) should spend the money and go.”"

 

pathetic...just pathetic...thank God for that automatic bid

Lowest turnout for a Fiesta Bowl was when OU played WV, Mountaineers returned 7500 tickets. UCONN still has over 13,000 to basically give away? What a joke.

The Big East is really deserving of keeping the AQ slot.

The Big East needs to stick with Basketball. Hey, pretty soon there will be TCU to contend with though.

These bowl games are becoming a joke, for some of these games it's costing the team more money to play in them then what they would earn.
