Just sad how far we have fallen.

Was talking to someone in Rutgers tickets sales
- Thread starter HeavenUniv.
- Start date
Remember when we had a 12K waiting list for season tickets?
I feel like it had to be a dream, or this is just a nightmare.
Thank Pat Hobbs.!
Three years later, Ash is 7-29 overall, and has gone winless in the Big Ten twice. Fans started calling for Ash to be fired months ago as this season spiraled downward, never recovering from a mid-September blowout at Kansas. Yes, Rutgers was more competitive over the second half of the season, and Ash has tried to sell that lately, but that's a tough sell when the final result is 1-11, the program's worst record since it went 1-11 in 2002.
In the face of adversity, the fact remains that Ash is Hobbs' guy, his hire. That makes Hobbs at least partially responsible for this current Rutgers football climate

You are probably the exception, not the rule and you would have bought in anyway in 2006 without the free ticket as a kid. My brother ran a pop Warner football program for many years. When Rutgers was bad, he couldn’t give the tickets away. It wasn’t until Rutgers started winning did the kids have any interest. Going 1-11 with a free ticket isn’t going to move the needle.
Fair, but it's hard to think of a downside to giving away unused tickets.
well.It appears Rutgers Football tickets has made it to Groupon for 2019!
Way to Go Roy Hobbs!

A Communications AD for two sports with 1 of those being women's golf. Don't know exactly what's involved in that job but that sure seems like overkill.
That individual would likely be responsible for all of the administrative work associated with the women's golf team - up to and including scheduling and travel.
Golfers must not like to polish their own balls...they could get hurt and throw off their grip and swing.
Yeah this is a wonderful plan. Trade the $2000 you lost from me this year for 2 tix, donation, and parking and trade it for free tickets somebody may use lol.
Just put manoquins in the seats. A school that cares more about looking like people come than putting a product that brings them. Democratic plan.

What’s next? If you buy a season parking tag, they give you 4 General Admission season tickets for free.
But they'll still require a full body search for you to get into the stadium!
No Water ! No Twizzler !
Homeland Security alert.
Way to encourage the Fan Experience at HPSS.....
This. The poster stating the loss would only be $2.2million this year is clearly out of touch with reality.
The most out of touch may be whoever was saying something along the lines of, ‘well the part I tried to move to had no room so things must be much better than what’s being said’.

Hobbs would be better suited for selling Used Cars on Route 22.
Giving away free tickets can help in small doses but really isn’t the answer for this problem. You get a 10-20% show up rate on people with free tickets. Knowing that, you’d have to give out 50,000-100,000 free tickets just to get an extra 10,000 in the building for one game.
I’m ready to have Hobbs walk right out the door with Ash. He will have cost this school about 25m on this hire and people want to give him another crack?
The ultimate problem is Barchi. He is total cancer for athletics, nothing changes until he goes. He’s destroying our AD.

It would depend on the excitement level surrounding the new hire. Surely, some would stick around and give him a chance. Now, most of those who are leaving this year will not be back, no matter who we hire. $$$$
The people making fun of this on Groupon should click the link and read what it actually is....
It is not Rutgers advertising and selling on Groupon...it is FanExchange, a 3rd party site, that is basically a fan reselling his or her tickets...
Thats not to say Rutgers wont be on Groupon soon because they probably will....
40% of R fans cancel their tickets then complain that the stadium is empty and laugh that they are selling tickets on groupon
Your statement is internally conflicted. Maybe Hobbs wanted to move on and Barchi stopped him. Nobody really knows that answer except Barchi and Hobbs.
I was involved 2004-2006. It was going on before that though. Within our own program it was poorly managed. Our president would purchase the 50 tickets and hand them out the night before or the day of the game with little or no notice.
Was not hard to organize, we had 100% for our team and a nice turnout for the rest of the program.A great experience for the kids, the parents had blast too.
In the podcast, Hobbs made it 100% known that he thinks Ash is going to get it done. No conflict.
I had a similar experience. We’ve had from 9-18 season tix for 30 or so years and this year I got one call from a ticket rep in early February but I wasn’t home. It’s not that I expect to be pleaded with—and we just renewed this week—but given the horrid shape of the program I would think they’d be making more of an effort to get folks to renew. I have heard of similar lack of effort from other ticket holders.
this is true.Its possible Hobbs did want to can Asherror.and Barchi being his hater of power five athletics,said no.Its also 100% true that the BOG football guys had the money raised to buy Ash out after last season.
Have not heard this. Heard the money was not there. Without a direct source to the BOG football guys, what you and I "heard" is just rumor.
I will have to give that another listen.
My recollection was the Hobbs said he expected significant improvement, and he toted out the company line that the team was young last year.
I don't recall Hobbs saying that "Ash was going to get it done" or something to that effect.
