RE: UNCW vs UNC Tickets
As we all marvel at the fact UNC is finally coming to Trask, i'm pretty sure the Tribe just inked a 2 for 1 deal with this same Tarheel team.

RE: UNCW vs UNC Tickets
I understand the tickets all sold out within 17 minutes of going on sale to the public. There's an appetite for both teams.

That's indicative they likely could've have charged a little more per ticket as well. The demand is high, and all reports concerning the number of public tickets available suggested the supply was low.
Economics.
Regardless of what the landscape looks like during the game, dollars are being added to the coffers. That's a good thing, especially given the last couple years of decline after several years of success.

For the record, ZERO issues charging the general public more.

RE: UNCW vs UNC Tickets
Not sure why people have a problem with a one of the all time best programs in the country playing at UNCW .If you are even a casual fan it is something to look forward to and likely will not happen again for a long time.

Not sure you read the posts, pretty sure not a single person had a problem with us playing them

They just go with the backhanded version and slam the UNC fans for being fans of the team they choose to pull for. It gets pretty old reading the same old crap about blue bloods and wine and cheese fans from UNC being the worst or whatever lame ass comment they can come up with. I read all the comments by the way.

Not liking their fans(most of them), and not liking us playing them are two entirely different things. It's not unreasonable for not wanting our gym to get taken over by the road team though regardless of who we are playing!

Got a friend that said he sold his Tix to someone in Tampa for $100 each. I told him that person is now probably selling them on StubHub for $400 each. It kinda wiped that big grin off his face.

Sounds to me like you could some cheese with that whine.

Our worst seats would be pretty expensive at the Smith center. Probably the closest seats a lot of their fans will ever get.

I don't have a problem with UNC alums and most fans. My problem is with people who root for a basketball team without any connection to the university, then talk a lot of sh*t to people who are actual alums of the schools they root for.
If you chose to root for UNC while hiding away your UNC Asheville degree so no one knows that's where you went, fine. Just don't try to act all superior because you choose to be a fan of a school's team whose campus you only step on for sporting events. That's when a college fan loses my respect.

RE: UNCW vs UNC Tickets
I mean there's a reason they're called whine and cheese fans... Is it an accurate portrayal of their fan base as a whole? No... I'm sure most if not all of us have friends/family that went to or pull for UNC that prove this fact. However, if you've ever been to a game at the Dean Dome you know why they have that nickname. It's not by mistake. A certain demographic of that fan base is probably scoffing at the idea of their Heels playing in Trask Coliseum. At the end of the day, I'm really looking forward to Roy bringing his very talented team down here. It's a big day for our university and I hope all I see is teal in the stands.

Not really sure why Mullet got his roe in a wad, everyone who lives here knows it's true. Hell, i had no ill will towards UNC whatsoever before i moved here 20 years ago. Even Bricks who is die hard avoids this topic, he knows. Anyways, i agree with you Gary, certainly a big game for the university, hopefully we can keep it close.

RE: UNCW vs UNC Tickets
You guys are no different than the fans who support UNC or any other team for that matter. Whining about them attending a game to see their team play is about the most childish thing you could in this spot. Any attempt to turn it around after going with the hate spew is also petty as hell. Go the game,support whoever you want to win,have fun and be a grownup while you are out in public.

Just not sure i follow why it is a sin for fans of UNCW to hope that the house is painted mostly teal. It is their home court, no?
