50 bucks courtside is a steal while supporting a good cause. I'd go if I lived in NJ

Shouldve made them $500, still wouldve all sold out. Wouldnt shock me if this is a near sell out

The link has a button that says “season ticket holders buy now”. But then you can’t buy now.

 

[RU92Knight]

You can buy the exhibition tickets now -- I just did.

What?! Are you a season ticket holder or are they just on sale?

 

[RU92Knight]

I'm a season ticket holder. I signed into my account and the exhibition game was available. I think maybe they aren't available to the public until Sept 22.

 

[dfr1966]

I'm a season ticketholder but when I try to buy by clicking the "Exhibition Game" button I get the "no events available" message.

What steps did you follow that allowed you to purchase now?

 

[RU92Knight]

Logged into my account, at scarletknights.com I chose Sports, Mens Basketball. Saw list of ticket options listed where "Exhibition Game" was one of them, clicked that. Then it showed "Fairfield" and the "Find Tickets" button, which brought up the RAC seating chart where you could pick out your seats to buy.

 

[dfr1966]

Thanks, when I follow those steps I get "No events available". I'll keep trying though...

 

[RU92Knight]

Sorry it's not working for you yet. There were lots of seats available so if you can't get to it online you might want to call the ticket office tomorrow morning.

As much as I'd like to see it, no chance of a near sellout on an NFL Sunday.

Unfortunately me too. From both computer and phone. 😞

I get the same thing. Logged out and logged back in and still not available.

Got an email this morning that contained a link. Was able to select my exact seats courtside and purchase with no problems at all. Happy to watch RU hoops with a great cause supported in the process, as well as catch up with our friends on the Fairfield side of things !

 

[Groz]

I signed into my season ticket account and tried the link, but it said no events under the exhibition game.

Best of Luck,

Use the link in the email. They are only available to season ticket holders until 9/22. I paid 20/ticket to sit in row A.

 

[dfr1966]

I tried that,still nothing. It says "the form is currently closed". I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Scarlet Knights app. I guess I'll call my ticket rep Monday

 

[knights1212]

Does anyone know if people will still have to show proof of vaccination for this game. I have no problem with this but I know some still might not be able to attend. Will tickets be sold in person on 9/22 if I go to the ticket office ?I am a season ticket holder for well over 30 years but I like to get the hard copy tickets in person. Any help is appreciated.

That’s what I said on the Round Table…figured because of the connection that’s why Fairfield was picked.

Did the same.

should be publicized more! youth coaches can take entire team at $5 per ticket.

 

[fatsam98]

Don't even know who my rep is. No one ever answers when you call the main number

Did you have opportunity to leave a message? I got a recording when I called but left my number and got a call back an hour or so later from ticket rep.

 

[fatsam98]

Thanks will try again. Why not just let us do it online though

 

[fatsam98]

These are available online now

 

[mikebal9]

Just got 4 tickets in 115 using the link in the email. Kids should love sitting 2 rows behind the bench!

 

[toby83]

My ticket rep said it’s very likely the policy for vaccines and testing could change before this game. For now it’s still vaccine or negative pcr

 

[kcg88]

It's on the BTN+ schedule for those who can't attend.
