This is my first post to the board, but have been following it for the past couple of years. I'm a season ticket holder and have 4 tickets, section 116, to the DePaul game. I will not be able to make it and if any of you are interested I'd be happy to pass them on at a reduced price to get some additional Flames fans in the seats. Just let me know how to get in touch with you. I would love to buy these tickets off of you at a discounted price. Is there any way I could contact you? my email is cbrown40@uic.edu Thanks!

I got section 112 row M through my season tix. Congratulations. I got section 116. The game day value of my ticket is $15.00. The value of yours is $20.00. So now you can add ticket scalping to the list of sleazy behavior by these clowns, right next to stealing booze and misappropriating money. Way to go, Athletic Department! You really outsmarted us! You guys are SO DAMNED CLEVER. Just to let you know I got extra tickets and payed extra money for them so I wouldn't call this sleazy.These were the last tix available for my amount together when I called and I had no problem paying more for them. No misappropriation here guest.

Greg,
You're right, there is nothing sleazy about it. UIC was alotted 500 tickets for this game and they didn't put us all in one section. They spread us out into different sections. You ended up with probably the best section that was allotted and that is great for you. Some of the "guest" posters on here with their conspiracy theories are just ridiculous. Enjoy the game!

Well Depaul lost tonight which I think was a good thing. They had a big lead going into half at home and then folded and went into overtime. They were up by as many as 6 I want to say in the last minute, and could not hit a free throw in the clutch. I think this loss could help our chances. Just for the matter that a win would have brought them in with huge confidence especially beating a ranked team. This loss may hurt a little after being up by as much as they were.

I found a link to this while browsing he DePaul message board: www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=95724Not a whole lot of interest to UIC fans, other than: Can confirm or debunk this? I am astonished that DePaul would ever agree to play us in the Pavilion, so until I hear otherwise, I'll assume this reproter is just blowing smoke.

I have no reason to doubt that article. It says they will be at UIC next year and it is further supported by saying we signed a 2-for-1 with them which begins tonight. Unfortunately, it's more like a 3-for-1 for us since we played them at Depaul a couple years ago.
We're going to have a tough time tonight. How are we're going to stop all of their big men?

One name: JOVAN I think somehow we will end up playing the game at the UC and we will call it a home game. What's new I mean lets play our big games away from home so we can take away our home court advantage. I dont care how many U of I fans get screwed out at the Pav because they have to sit in the upper deck get our damn home games at the Pav and no where else!

There is no possible way that this game will be played at the UC next season. I don't even think it would draw 8,000 to All State tonight if we had perfect weather. I think they only drew 7,500 for the DePaul - NU game this year. If there is a return game next year, It will be played at the Pavilion.

I agree with you it was more sarcastic but it seems every time we play any big in state team they have to move it to the UC. But we wont even draw big tonight. I see this being maybe 4500 people

I probably should have seen the sarcasm actually.
About tonights attendance, I think I may be sitting this one out. TThe threat of major snow we we are leaving doesn't sound too good. I'm in the south suburbs and that is where the major stuff is supposed to fall. I hate having to miss a game! However, it would be a lot smarter to to just listen on the radio and not have a car crash. Everybody else still planning on going?

Yeah it's really starting to come down here in the downtown area. From the looks of it, I think the heavy stuff is staying south of the city. John, JP & I are still heading on over to the game & Shoeless Joe's for a few drinks before.
