Any wordon how many season tickets they sold for this season compared to last year? I am curious how much the move back to campus effected the numbers. Or if if it had no effect at all. Looking forward to see what this team can do. I am cautiously optimistic at this point.

As I have said, season-tickets sales would be down this season if the Panthers were still playing at the Cell. Three factors, no Badgers. No back to back runners up in Butler and the Panthers were 2010-11 HL regular season champs. Those three things, made sales great last season.
They should reach their goals for this season, but there is room for more!

There is only one important variable this year -- student attendance. If we can get even a few hundred students a game, we will have a great atmosphere, and the ball will start rolling.

Paid season tickets are down for all the reasons mupanther listed, PLUS the move to the Klotsche. But... IF[/u] we get students, it will be ok. That's a big if at this point in time, however. |

Agreed about the student attendance. A great atmosphere (fueled by enthusiastic students) + winning = future success. If the students don't come, it's all for nothing. If this experiment fails, I see D3 in our future.

Also don't forget season ticket sales were so high last year because of the introduction of the 2 for $99 for all fans, not just first-time buying alumni.

No Wisconsin does hurt. I don't think the loss of Butler has much impact on season ticket sales. Playing Butler seems like it would have more of an impact on single game sales.
Of course the Panthers will try to spin it based on the Wisconsin and Butler games but the reason for the big dropoff is clearly the move back to campus. If the students don't show up now, this program is doomed

From what I've heared the hardcore Panther fanbase bought their season-tickets.

There is a good chance that there will be 2 more season tickets sold soon. I probably will be moving to the Milwaukee area soon and I would love to get season tickets.
Is there an ticket exchange program? I wouldn't be able to use the tickets for most November games but I would like to have somebody use them.

Forget the part of ticket exchange, if I would've taken a sec to look at the basketball website it would've been pretty obvious what the answer is.

Has anyone seen if there are 5 packs this year? I figured they may not due to our schedule this season.
I was looking to do that since I moved to Madison this summer and I can't justify a season tix package plus the travel costs this time around.
On the other side of the coin, we should find a bar to takeover in Madison when you all come out to the game this Dec. 22.

Away trips are always more fun when u can meet up with ur teams fans. I've met a lot of cool people when traveling to away White Sox games. |

This is more of a general question, but do you have any word on a bar having a shuttle to thw KC, ala Slim's (Slimousine) to the BC.
