Re: Ticket buying strategy

Yeah, similar tickets through UofA website are $75. Definitely need to go that route.

Re: Ticket buying strategy

Thanks, that’s useful!

Yeah, I’m a bit surprised at those prices. And not at all surprised we have an attendance problem. That’s pretty steep for a single game in non-premium seats in a city like Tucson.
