Due to high demand, additional seats are now available for the Never Forget Tribute Classic this Saturday!
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Someone had to open the upper deck at the Prudential Center since Seton Small can’t.
Danny Breslaur is reporting nearly 10k tickets sold.
I was told by this board that Prudential was lying and holding back tickets and plenty would be available in the lower levels.
I think there are two reasons why this is happening.
And it’s not the opponent.
This is coming from someone who does want to play Princeton every year. But a home and home. Not this barnstorming stuff.
People are going to see Ace and Dylan not a non existent rivalry between Rutgers and Princeton lol
I mean, ticketmaster absolutely does that all the time. I checked yesterday and they had released more lower bowl tickets (which seems to be gone this morning).
Glad this one will be well attended though
Pleasantly surprised to see this, but I guess I shouldn't be. Atmosphere should be just a little bit better than Trenton last year.
Well I’m one of those.
And some of that is the date and time. As I am busy, but it’s also the location as well.
Passed on Trenton and MSU too.
That's an oversimplification and there will be a lot more Princeton alums in attendance than you think. Either way, it's great to see fan enthusiasm for the basketball program. Way ahead of the football program, which basically has to beg fans to show up for home games.
Was moreso referring to Rutgers fans who will be attending who might not otherwise go.
Princeton has a small but loyal following, they would be there to watch whether they’re playing Rutgers or any other school imo.
Princeton averages 1700 fans at home. They literally dont have fans that care so to expect them to come out of the woodwork in Newark seems dubious
Agree. Would be surprised if they brought 500.
That’s crazy but true. And they were in the sweet 16 two years ago.
Per their website, they averaged a little over 3,000 last year

Dylan and Ace and a game 30 min closer to me than the RAC? I don’t care who the opponent is.
Same as our 35,000 in football.Per their website, they averaged a little over 3,000 last year

Exactly. They will have a nice turnout this afternoon.
Looks like last year was somewhat anomalous, though:
2023-24: 3027
2022-23: 2013
2021-22: 803 (Covid restrictions)
2020-21: n/a (Covid year - Ivy did not play)
2019-20: 2101
2018-19: 2150
2017-18: 2005
2016-17: 2191
So, removing the two covid-impacted years, their average home attendance has been ~2248 over 6 of the last 8 seasons. Not especially great, given that Jadwin seats 6854 - but they also play a pretty paltry OOC schedule at Jadwin most years. Through the first 4 games of this season they are averaging 1794 (vs. Iona, Loyola Chicago, Nazareth, and Monmouth).
