How much are student ticket regular price? Last season I bought a ticket for a student I met while playing in the RSF. I think it was something like $18
Maybe run some student ticket promos for $10 or student group tickets (e.g. 10 tickets for $90)
Reach out to Cal social media influencers and sponsor them. There are a ton of them on TikTok and IG who often post videos at Cal games. By the way, the Cal student store has a very well run social media campaign
I often see other Cal sports teams at games such as the WBB or W gym or VB teams. Do we have any team promos for them?
I know Cal used to have discount tickets for various groups such as Veterans, Healthcare workers, etc…maybe expand those groups)
Also, perhaps donate tickets to non-profits. They have a lot of volunteer workers who aren't paid but have no income. Getting free tickets could be a reward for them (I know some companies do that… for example Gilroy Gardens donated tickets to the food bank)
I make donations for free tickets or transportation for School Haas Rock and through those experiences find the biggest issue is to find someone at Cal to help as they seem too busy. Development sometimes helps, ticket office sometimes help but it's a different group every year. This year it was the Cameron Institute.
Couldn't Cal hire a few students to handle outreach and donations or discounts for these types of things? I would even volunteer but in the past, Marketings was not interested even after I made contact to a number of east bay non-profits
I haven't had the time to re-establish contacts with the co-ADs or new marketing. Can anyone help with introductions?

Once again, easily the best basketball TEAM since some of the Monty years. Now, just lower the prices to bring in fans, ALL students free, of course.
You realize that Cal sold out the full student allocation for Football and Basketball this year - $125 for all games. 6k students.
I'm not convinced giving free tickets to students beyond the 6k who expressed an interest and paid money gets many (any) more students to attend basketball games.
I'd much rather have Cal for select games give HS and Youth Groups and Senior Citizen Groups free tickets. And how about some marketing for the team in general? Buy the former Warriors season ticket holder list. At least 10k people who used to attend Warriors games who have been priced out.
Lots of things Cal marketing can do but giving away free tickets to students isn't one of them
