UTEP ticket office

Looks like Utep broke enrollment record with 25k. And let's say faculty they are about 5k I'm just guessing. That is 30k.

The Haskins Center is 11k to fill up. But to not look empty I would say it needs 9k fans. So I would say Utep should be responsible with 5k and the rest should between El Paso and Fort Bliss. So Senter needs to sell about 6 thousand tickets per game. That shouldn't be that hard for a city like El Paso. People wait in line at Albertsons. Then for the students and faculty why can't Utep give students some kind of prize or extra credit to go to the games??


Doesn’t UTEP lead CUSA in attendance most years? Look at FIU and SJSU for schools that are worse than UTEP at “attendance ball”.

Does anyone know what percentage of UTEP students live on campus. My guess is that it's probably less than 10%. Mostly athletes.

You’re telling me that they wouldn’t sell you tickets to the basketball game at the ticket center yesterday because it was hours or minutes before the game and then sent you to those little windows near the entrance?

That is outrageous. Good thing I didn’t bring it up or else people would think I am complaining. Senter doesn’t care about fans or attendance if what you’re saying is tr

In the elements? lol You make it seem like it was below freezing and snowing.

You must be a new fan because the ticket center on Mesa hasn't been selling UTEP athletics events for years. The reason is UTEP is selling tickets on their own (less fees to the customer).
That makes sense, thanks. Seems like a huge waste of a building on game day then.

Speaking of tickets and attendance. What is wrong with El Paso?? Golding has a good team and Haskins Center is empty . I hope attendance picks up when Utep is back in the Mountain West?? The Sun Bowl Tournament has some good quality Mid Majors, if Utep makes the championship game there should at least be 8k. Where are those volleyball ball fans that were packing the memorial gym??
Years and years of mediocre teams and ticket policies that don’t make sense in the real world, keep fans away.

This isn’t a good team. More smoke and mirrors at this point. Tarleton State is a bad team and the Miners barely beat them.

UTEP plays 0-10 Jackson St, they are not good or quality or a mid-major.

I have a question:

Why does the ticket center not sell athletics tickets on game days? I mostly buy tickets online and use the mobile option.
A couple instances this season, I preferred to purchase tickets in person. The office was open, about 7-8 employees were at the windows, with no customers.
I assume they're selling concert tickets.

Instead Miner fans are sent outside into the elements, to wait in line at the small window attached to the Don Haskins Center. Just seems odd. Why did this change? Are they trying to push more to mobile? Why are there almost a dozen workers inside with nothing to do??
It’s the UTEP way. 🤡

"“While they were being trained, they were even forbidden to show their faces. The Russian military tried to delete any video evidence of their presence,” he said via his official Telegram on Monday.

“And now, after the battles with our guys, the Russians are also trying to... literally burn the faces of the dead North Korean soldiers,” the Ukrainian leader added, sharing a 30-second video as evidence."

Tarteton State

There is a thread started by an "Ignored Member".
I agree. When Tarleton State gets back more of their injured players they could be unstoppable in the WAC. They got back a guard for last night's game that is really good. He was a difference maker for them.
It almost looked like the Miners playing themselves last night. Many times when we took it into the paint we got our pocket picked. I hope Golding and the boys watch a lot of tape on this game and figure out how to do the same thing.
Big Ham just can't help himself bringing the ball down in steal territory when he get a pass underneath the basket. Kalu played great and OF3 was amazing. 100% from the line. He's got an odd ritual every time he shoots a FT and it works.
We'll learn a lot from this game. It was a good game and we are lucky to get a win. I think Tarleton was the better team.

Tarteton State

Sorry if I didn't see a thread...

I was impressed with Tartleton State. Tough team with some good players. They had a very well rounded lineup. I wouldn't be surprised if they won the WAC this season.

Kudos to OF3 for winning the game at the line.

I was really hoping Jones would break out a little in this game as he appeared to be the better matchup. That 7th spot off the bench is wide open for the taking. Jones should be falling into place of he expects to start the next few years.

If Golding can keep his job he really needs to sure up the front line next year via the portal. There should be a nice NIL package with all the seniors we are losing.
