"Weekends At The Well" (Dec. 14, Jan. 11, Feb. 22)

Don't understand what is going on with the handling fees. I bought 2 concert tickets this week and they charged roughly 10 percent. BTW even face value $20 is too much, should be no more than $15. Now if we were playing Duke then $20 would be ok. I would like to say the "Well" is doing a good job promoting these games. I got an email from them about the single game tickets and if you go to their website the FU tickets pop up.

Cyber Monday special for the game at The Well vs. Winthrop. Buy one, get one. GA tickets only $10.00 for 2 tickets when using the special deal. Not bad if you know someone that wants tickets to the game. https://www1.ticketmaster.com/furman-pa ... _151004862

It looks to me that Furman is making every effort to make these "Well" games into a thing. If FU can draw decent crowds this season for the whole downtown basketball experience, it will go a long way toward being able to schedule some real "name" teams to come to Greenville. Based on my experience a few years ago with the NCAA tournament games, Greenville is a great place for a big time basketball event. Hotels, dining, transportation, etc. are all excellent. Glad to see Furman going all out to make this first game a memorable experience. I think the growing business community really needs something like this.

I thnk you are correct. They are making a good push and promoting it well, I only wish resrve price seating was cheaper. $20 IMHO is just too much for a basketball game especially since the target audience is not us die-hards. Ticketmaster is not helping with their ridiculous handling fees.

Candidly I was getting spooked after Monday's dismal showing. The last thing we need is a big production featuring a flat product.

Tonight turned that around. No one's satisfied with a "moral victory", but ya gotta admit we're back on track.

That is been the time for both games since the initial announcement. Check page 1 of this discussion.

Not true at all, that game is at the 'Well' which can hold at least 15k

They have not even put single game tickets on sale for that game yet and won't until January

Thanks, man.

Wonder if we will see any students. I understand that housing, cafeteria etc open back up the day of the game and classes start on Monday the 13th.
