Iowa student tickets sales exploding!

Something is different...the freaking product. Not hard to comprehend

I have a hard time comprehending that last year at this time there wasn't even ONE Iowa student who bought tickets. Just one guy...

This. Tickets have been available in the spring for a couple years now.

But I think at least some of this explosion is thanks to the free admission games. The whole point of a game like that is to spark interest. Iowa delivered in those games, and provided an exciting product. If they'd gotten blown out in those games, I guarantee sales would be nowhere near this high.

You make a very good point here. Many of us over the years in addition to all the other problems that the basketball program has had have expressed frustration over how poorly we market basketball. Last season they started doing some things right like the free admission for students for big games like the Wisconsin game and setting up Cambus basketball shuttles at the dorms to get students to the games. Barta and company while perhaps guilty of some slight exaggeration about spring student season ticket sales clearly seem determined to maintain and build on some positive momentum. I like it.
