10 days from opening day
Still basketball season tickets haven't been mailed.
Heard they changed vendors who supply the tickets.

RE: 10 days from opening day
I would just give a quick call to the UAB Athletics Ticket Office for more information via phone at (205) 975-UAB1 (205-975-8221) or via email at tickets@uab.edu.

Same for me. Nothing yet. I'll probably wait until mid-week before I call them. Didn't take them long to cash my check several months ago 03-wink

Here's the response I received today from the ticket office...

We had a delay in receiving our tickets from our print company. We are currently mailing out your tickets to the exhibition game which you will receive prior to the first game. The book with the rest of your tickets will arrive shortly after.

Thanks for your patience!

RE: 10 days from opening day
because we are stuck in a cycle:

Year 1: someone pays a bribe and promises the moon to get us to choose them as a ticketing fulfillment company. Implementation is a pain so things do not go smoothly that year.

Year 2. Ticket office naively believes that the super magic ticket fulfillment system will make things perfect, shocked to discover there are issues and that they sales guy who promised him the moon no longer works there so we have one to call on it.

Year 3. Last year of what has turned out to be a bad contract, ticket office people bummed because they have to do everything manually, only source of joy is that new ticket fulfillment vendors are buying them lunch and making them feel like rock stars, hints of bribes to come dancing on the sales guys lips like they were sugar plum fairies.

Repeat.

RE: 10 days from opening day
How about having your seat moved after 10 years , without a by your leave, true story, happened to me this year, just now getting it corrected, after much calling back and forth with threats of wanting my money back...that's all I had to threat with, because I am a BLAZER and I am not missing my team play...but they had to believe I would, finally got their attention and they straighten out their error. I told them they was trying to "WELL'S FARGO ME"!!!! FUNNY....feel free to use the term, but remember you heard it here first.

As long as you have a ticket in hand on the day of the game, I am not sure what the problem is.

RE: 10 days from opening day
The point is we are looking like a Micky Mouse organization with all our fumbling and bumbling. While it's not a big deal to die-hards it sends a bad impression to new investors in the program.

It's not just UAB.

Must be why both of our teams can't get in the Big 12 (blue font).

Ahhh. A fledging Snarkist.

I never said it made it better. I am just pointing out that UAB fans are not alone in suffering the horrible fate of not having their season tickets 10 days before the season start. Others suffer this terrible fate.
