According to the Stag website Season Ticket buyers will also get a "reduced price membership to the Stags Club" but no information on what that "price" is. It is pretty hard to sell something successfully if the potential buyer doesn't know the price that is being advertised. Also season ticket buyers will get a "discounted parking pass" at less than $5.00 per game ($75.00 value last season). However, Stags Club membership will give you a FREE parking pass ($150.00 value last season) for Stag Basketball games and club access during the year for WBA events. So for Sound Tiger games, concerts and if the circus is at the WBA with your membership do you get to use the Stags Club for food and drinks too or just a place to sit with HD televisions and a sky high view from the top of the WBA?

I assume that most season ticket buyers are also members/readers of this board. However, I doubt that there are many Stags Club members that are not season ticket holders anyway but I wonder how many season ticket buyers of multiple tickets are also buyers of multiple Stags Club memberships? If the goal is to increase club membership, is $350.00 annually the correct price for Stags Club membership or is a season ticket and a "reduced price Stags Club membership" the right way to go and what price should that be? Is/should the 300 seat Stags Club be a more "exclusive" club or to increase membership, should the Stags Club be a more "inclusive" asset to also increase alumni interest and support?

Actually the best deal is Courtside Seats for $500.00 which gives you a "floor seat at every 2014-2015 men's and women's basketball home game at Webster Bank Arena and Alumni Hall" ($210.00) and "a season long membership to the Stags Club in Webster Bank Arena, complimentary parking pass for all Stags games in Webster Bank Arena" ($350.00).

However, floor seats will be available in Alumni Hall, really but where?

If I lived in the area, I'd be apt to do this. Even for a relatively young alum, this is much more feasible than some of the larger donor categories associated with TEAMSTAG. I hope it builds interest and shows students that they are welcome back and it can be cool to go after graduation. For Boston area people, I'm hoping to organize an alumni meetup for the Northeastern game this year, but I don't know when I'll be able to see them play otherwise (unless I get my hands on some Duke tickets).

[FU73]

Looks like as of today (July 8), the Courtside Seat option has now been changed and no longer includes floor seats in Alumni Hall nor membership in the Stags Club but a "discounted Stags Club membership" (still no amount stated):

Purchasing courtside season tickets guarantees you a floor seat at every 2014-2015 men's and women's basketball home game at Webster Bank Arena. Upon completing your order, a Stags ticket representative will contact you to select your perfect seat. Additional benefits include a complimentary parking pass for all Stags games in Webster Bank Arena, discounted Stags Club membership in Webster Bank Arena.....

As of today (July 8) there is a new ticket option. Season Tickets and Stags Club Membership at $475.00:

Stags Club Membership with Season Tickets

By becoming a member of the Fairfield University Stags Club at Webster Bank Arena, you are gaining exclusive access to 4,000 square feet of prime viewing space equipped with a private bar, large HD televisions, and, during Stags Basketball games, complimentary buffet style meals.

Additional benefits include men's and women's basketball season ticket, free parking for Fairfield basketball games, access during all Webster Bank Arena events (tickets sold seperately), and pre-game access to the Stags coaching staff in order to get an insider's perspective on the upcoming game.

Price: $475.00

Yesterday on the Stag website, just a Stags Club membership was $350 but it appears that is no longer available?

2014-15 SEASON TICKETS OPTIONS:
Adult - Senior/Youth
COURTSIDE* $500
MEN'S & WOMEN'S COMBO $210 - $150
MEN'S GAMES ONLY $170 - $105
WOMEN'S GAMES ONLY $115 - $80
YOUNG ALUMNI COMBO ('04-'14) $99
STAGS CLUB MEMBERSHIP COMBO - $475
*Courtside seats are for both men's and women's games

Season Ticket Holder Benefits
- Discounted Parking Pass ($70 = less than $5/game)
- All-session pass to Coaches vs. Cancer games hosted in Webster Bank Arena
- Exclusive pre-sale and priority seating for the 2015 MAAC Men's & Women's Basketball Championship
- Access to away game tickets (including Men's Basketball at Duke in November)
- Exclusive access to Fairfield Stags giveaway items
- Holiday Gift: four (4) tickets to a basketball game of your choice
- Free ticket to non-basketball regular season home games

If you purchase a Stags Club Membership Combo at $475.00 it includes Membership and one Men's & Women's Season Ticket ($210.00) but apparently there is no longer the option to purchase just a Stags Club membership without tickets. So Stags Club membership this season is effectively a net $265.00 ($265 + $210 = $475.00) and it includes FREE parking.

Nothing about Individual Stags Club Day Passes available again for this season? Buyers of multiple season tickets (yourself and family/friends) will be effected if the Day Pass option is no longer available. Is the goal to make the Stags Club more exclusive or more inclusive an asset this season?

[JoeStag]

Anybody that has already paid for their Season Tickets, and wants to change to the StagClub and Season Ticket Combo, can do so.

There will not be a separate rate for Non Season Ticket Holders. Due to the over $700 value that comes with the heavily discounted $475 package, there will not be a la cart pricing. A person is NOT able to forgoe a feature (Free Parking, No Alcohol, Season Tickets, Only Men's games, Only Women's games) in order to receive a reduced rate in the membership.

There will still be Friends of Fairfield Basketball events that will charge a fee for non-members

[FU73]

Bob, Do you know if Individual Day Passes will be available for this coming season at the Stags Club? Buyers of multiple season tickets ( purchaser and family/friends) and the alumni fan who only goes to a few games per season would benefit from this. If not then is the goal to make the Stags Club a more exclusive club and benefit just for season ticket buyers?

3 Men's Basketball Season Tickets - $510.00 (@ $170.00 each)
3 Stags Club Membership Combo Tickets - $1,425.00 (@ $475.00 each)

[JoeStag]

Yes, Season Ticket Holders can bring guests, and there will be a daily fee price for individuals (around $25-$30 per game).
