On Monday afternoon, the Marquette athletic department Twitter announced that student tickets for men’s basketball would be going on sale this week. That’s not news. The exact phrasing of it was interesting, though.
Look at the image in the tweet. “Check your Marquette email for your sale date and details,” emphasis mine there. The implication was that there would be some kind of multi-tier system for students to buy student tickets for Shaka Smart’s first season in charge.
On Tuesday, the exact plan became plain and clear, or at least clear to those of us who do not have student email accounts.
