Has anyone successfully taken advantage of the $10/ticket Black Friday Special promotion? I tried on my phone this morning immediately after receiving the email notifying us of the "Flash Sale" and then later today on my PC's Chrome browser. It "accepts" the promo code, but the list of tickets simply states "no data available." I doubt my early evening voicemail and email to the ticket department about the issue will be received or acknowledged prior to tomorrow's 11:59 PM promotion deadline, with tomorrow being the Thanksgiving holiday.
If anyone actually tries to buy tickets or just would take a dry run at it, I would appreciate hearing whether you were successful.
Just another good reason for people not to attend Panther basketball? Mrs CP and I will attend regardless as it will probably be our only game all season, but I am disappointed on a number of levels about the apparent glitch.

Albany is coming off a 22-10 season a year ago, finishing 10-6 in the America East. The 2018-19 roster features six returning players but, like Milwaukee's situation, just three of which saw playing time last season (one starter). The Great Danes welcomed nine newcomers after having to replace all but 14 percent of scoring from last season lost to graduation and transfer.

Pounce, I am thankful for all of the information you have consistently posted on this board through the years. Please continue to do it.
But you have posted twice now about something that does not really exist - the 48 Hour Flash Sale a/k/a 2018 Black Friday Special. As I explained above, the promotional tickets cannot actually be purchased. I tried again today.
While it is only a minor inconvenience and annoyance with respect to my own desire to purchase two tickets, it is frustrating to think of this as an example of incompetence in the athletic department. Whether the responsibility for programming the ticket sale website rests with UWM or a third party such as Ticketmaster, UWM should first verify that the data is properly entered into the system before promoting the sale and closing the office for the holiday. I understand the latest ticket manager just started within the past couple months (I have not independently confirmed this), but a simple dry run could have been performed to verify that promotional tickets could be purchased. Failure to do so is careless, to state the least.
I will provide an update regarding the eventual outcome of my own experience. However, I wonder how many other potential promotional ticket purchasers just say "forget it" and choose not to attend the game because of this.

UPDATE - Nine minutes after my last post, I received another email from UWM about the Flash Sale a/k/a Black Friday Special. This time, although there was no reference to the initial glitch, the link led directly to the promotional tickets and I could easily make my purchase.
Hopefully, anyone frustrated by the initial experience will try again. It is a great deal, albeit actually a 14 hour sale rather than a 48 hour one! In my case - front row in 200 level, center court section, aisle seats. I know, anyone can sit just about anywhere, but that is not the point.
Thank you UWM for fixing this.

I've asked this every time I've seen promotions around campus and heard ads on the radio for games that have ALREADY been played: Maybe they truly don't want people to go to the games?
Good that they finally fixed this issue.

Maybe Jake Wright is a shooting guard.

Blew it a little there at the end, but overall a pretty good first half against a good team.
