Looks like USM is trying to get State fans to buy season tickets again. According to the USM website single game tickets are available on February 1st and will cost either 15 or 20 bucks.

Just curious ... but why would MSU fans want to buy USM season tickets? I seem to remember that last year during the regional, we couldn't get tickets to our game with them, so I can see the benefit there, but what are the chances of them getting the regional and not us? On second thought ... with the Dude under construction, maybe a regional isn't possible?

Eh. There’s a big enough contingent of MSU folks in Hattiesburg where season ticket purchases could be easily justified. I’m even considering it because I know I’ll be around Hattiesburg for part of that weekend visiting family and I go there fairly often.

Because it's the only way to get tickets right now. Football was the same way in 2015. Couldn't by a single ticket to the game until a couple of weeks before.

Because we’re playing you guys opening weekend in Hattiesburg.

They’re not opening up tickets to the general public yet because 1) they don’t want non-Eagle Club/season ticket “casual” USM fans to just buy tickets for the State series and not the other 24 home games and 2) State fans would buy the majority of the single game tickets which would take away our home-field advantage (defeating the purpose of even having the series at USM). I know it’s very frustrating for MSU fans. I totally get it. But this is the only way for USM to protect homefield and maximize profit at the same time.

I expect plenty of maroon opening weekend (30-35%). The MSU fans that make it in either bought season tickets or have some sort of a connection with a USM Eagle Club member/season tix holder that allowed them to get their hands on tickets. I suppose some might pay big bucks through StubHub, but I would never drop $100+ on a regular season college baseball game.

I think I got mine a little earlier but that’s because they may have been offered to USM alumni as part of a package deal first and also why I get calls from USM’s AD.

Why we play USM at Hattiesburg in any sport is beyond me.

Looks like MSU fans (or any other non-USM folks) buying season tickets would ruin your attendance at all the other games, unless there are a few (like Maroon Eagle) who just like baseball and would go regardless of who's playing.

We should have tried to play this series at the minor stadium in Biloxi

 

[patdog]

We're playing there because we won't have a stadium to play in until a month into the season and playing at neutral sites is a lot more expensive than a home and home.

Even worse- we're playing Jackson State AT Jackson State.

That should be moved to Trustmark Park. Even Smith-Wills or Madison Central would be better.

I've watched us play JSU at Smith Wills before. Dozens of people were there. And that was in March when the weather was good. This is a weeknight game in February.
