Per Shama:

As of last week, the men’s program had sold 4,482 full season tickets including 242 to faculty and staff. That compared with 4,800 for the 2023-2024 season. There has been no significant pricing change for either men’s or women’s public season tickets. Ticket information was obtained from the U through the request process by Sports Headliners.


Go Gophers!!
 

I'm not surprised. a lot of people - being from MN - just think the price is too high.

and every time they read a newspaper, a blog, or listen to the radio or a podcast, all they read/hear is that the non-conference schedule is a joke and it's not worth going to the games.

of course, those same writers, bloggers, radio hosts and podcasters will turn around in a couple weeks and start asking, "why is no one showing up at Gopher games?" while never acknowledging their own role in creating a negative perception about the program.
 

Surprised its that high.
At its peak what were they selling? 9K season tickets? More?

Most fans can look at the schedule and see for themselves it stinks. Not sure it takes the media to paint it that way.

I would be shocked if any sports writer, blogger (with any sort of respectable following), radio host or podcaster in the next 2 months starts asking "why is no one showing up at Gopher games?"

In the unlikely event any of them are referencing Gopher basketball at all, the answers to that question have been pretty evident for quite some time.

For that question to be uttered, I think they Gophers would need to still be undefeated through Christmas. That would include a pair of games in Orlando against decent competition as well as against a couple of Big 10 foes (Mich St & Indiana).
 



Among my numerous eccentricities (just ask my wife) is my inordinate interest in attendance for sporting events and game scores. I started going to Gopher basketball games in 1971 as a third grader. I can only remember one crowd under 10,000 (Northern Michigan in Musselman’s third season) until sometime during Pitino’s tenure. That was quite a run. My favorite U of M score statistic is the hockey team was not shut-out at home from 1973-1993–two pretty good goalies were the bookends: Glenn “Chico” Resch (UMD) and Billy Pye (Northern Michigan).
 



The decline of 300 some season tickets is not much of an outcry for change.

Share to a lesser degree your interest in attendance. Wonder if you know or have a sense when reported attendance figures changed from the number of people actually there to the number of tickets distributed. The Gophers are no different than other schools, but reported attendance figures have become a joke.

The “crowd” at the OR game appeared to be fewer than 2,000.

If this years out of conference gauntlet and last years dramatic post season run haven't increased season ticket sales, this just proves that there is nothing any coach could do to succeed here.

Am I doing this right Pilgrim?
