Any news on ticket # sold for USF game

[ucjoet]

Have not heard anything in regards to tickets sold for this game. I would think it will be the largest crowd of year. Not only is it homecoming but we are coming off a decisive win vs UCF. And a win Saturday gets us over 500 for the year. Any info would be appreciated.

Looks like more blue sections showing on the ticket site than previous games. Meaning more tickets still available than previous games.

You can't trust the seat map online. Believe me it lies.

School typically soft sounds attendance #s Wednesday or Thursday before a Saturday game to drive additional sales. So we'll find out soon.

I heard 48. Its getting better.

@desmondconner: #UConn has sold 3,000 tickets to Homecoming Game against #USF since beating #UCF bringing total tickets sold for #Huskies-#Bulls to 28,500

That's actually pretty bad for homecoming. We normally get a bunch of additions to our group every year, just for that...

This is when losing so many season ticket accounts year to year make it incredibly difficult to fill a stadium. I was hoping for 35K after our win and shot to go bowling. But now, I'll just be happy with 30K.

 

[NYUConn]

It's only Wednesday. My guess is we end around 31-32K.

We should hit 30K. Not only is the problem recent seasons, but when we were in the Big East and consistently hitting 35K we played regional opponents and had way more opposing fans in the stadium. Can't expect too many folks to fly up to Connecticut for a football game 1,000 miles away. I predict that we hit 35k for the Friday night game versus ECU. If not then, we'll definitely hit it for Houston.

Announced attendance so far this year:

V'Nova - 26,113
Army - 28,260
Navy - 33,204

Weather's supposed to be good again - partly sunny & mid-50s. Not sure this game will surpass the Navy crowd, but I expect we'll break 30K.

 

[BoatShow]

Probably be around 31k

It's quite a quandry. If you want attendance you want good weather. If you want a bigger home field advantage you want bad weather.

If we average over 30K for the year , then

It is horrible. I am extremely disappointed in the Husky fanbase. We just had 33k for Navy - this is homecoming, off a nice win and a chance to get over .500 at the latest point in the season since the Fiesta Bowl season. Weather is solid, 58 degrees with 10% chance of rain. I'm not sure what else we can do, other than KEEP WINNING.

Its still early. I know 30 or so people from my class coming in from all over who don't have tickets yet. I'm sure there are many similar groups coming in to town.

Not be playing USF.

 

[Marty Jackson]

Pretty sure Navy brought some fans to boost that attendance figure.
30K for usf isn't bad. I doubt they bring more than 1K.

Yours at 1,000

This.

Win games and the fans will come.

Get into a P5 conference and win games, and we'll have sellouts (or near sellouts) every game.

 

[uconnbill]

I would bet it is around the same for the Navy game and maybe a little bit more.

 

[zls44]

I was at the Navy game. I'll be at the USF game.

The above is true for 99% of the people on here. This is what is known as an echo chamber.

We're about 1000 behind the pace for Navy (29k plus on tuesday before game). Expect 31-32k.

I'll take bad weather. Winning is the only thing that will make people consistently come out. I've been at games wear the weather sucked and we drew noticeably more than the nicest day the past few seasons.

ITs sad, but the Navy game was the last time in a long time that I can remember the Rent actually feeling "full" even though clearly it wasn't.
