Re: Men's Basketball Schedule is released

I'm a little confused. The gojacks.com site where you buy tickets online shows that season tickets for basketball go on sale at 5:00 PM on Friday, September 16??? That's a different date than the article they posted.

Anyone have any info on this?

Re: Men's Basketball Schedule is released

I talked to the ticket office yesterday and she said info on season tickets was going in the mail that day so you should be getting all the info in the next few days if you were a season ticket holder last year.

Re: Men's Basketball Schedule is released

I renewed my season tickets last night online it was pretty slick.

Go State! ;D

Re: Men's Basketball Schedule is released

So if I am going to become a new season ticket holder, should I be purchasing them on-line or waiting for the mailing? This is about as clear as mud to me right now.

Re: Men's Basketball Schedule is released

I received my letter today. It is to current season ticket holders. I can either order on-line or return the order form they sent me. If you didn't have a season ticket last year, you probably won't get the same letter. You can either order on-line or call the ticket office at 605 688 5422 or 1-800-GO-JACKS.

If this is your first time buying season tickets I would recommend waiting for the mailing and/or giving Christi Williams (Tickets Manager) a call at the ticket office so you can go over how the whole deal works (points system, allocations years, etc.).  

Go State!  ;D

Re: Men's Basketball Schedule is released

I understand the whole points and allocation process, I am just wondering about the discrepancies in the dates that I showed in my original post..........

Ten of the Jacks` games in the new season are against postseason qualifiers from last season.
