Attendance for UCF?

[Chief00]

Let me clear up one wrong assumption in this thread. The students will be back for the game. Classes start on 8/27. Game is on 8/30.

This is actually one game students actually do tend to show up for. A lot easier for most kids to get their on their own with their own cars than the bus fiasco.

Are you confusing common sense with history? Your point makes common sense, but the history of the Rent is that students do not show up when school is not in session.

Regardless of school being in or not the first game has a full student section all wearing whatever T-shirt they got that year with their tickets and then they’re gone

Nah, usually the first few games the student attendance is pretty good. When it gets cold and the team sucks is when it falls apart

 

[Wordbomar]

Last year the student section was filled to the brim against Holy Cross.

Just hope it’s not an embarassing showing attendance wise. This is the best home game we have all year

5,000. Including Band.

What are your guesses for attendance for the UCF game? A good team is coming in for a Thursday night game just before Labor Day. How does it play out and why? I’m guessing 24,500 but fear worse. I’d love to see more but there’s just very little chance of that with kids not back at school yet and the holiday weekend distractions taking people elsewhere.

P.S. I plan to be there with two others but I’m not positive yet.

First game of the season to open as a 23 point dog, makes selling tix difficult.

 

[RSTuthill]

Student section year before last during the 2nd quarter.

 

[RSTuthill]

My official guess is 21,000 tix sold and maybe 18,000 thru the turnstyles. But who cares? It'll be a nice summer evening, the beer will taste exceptionally good, and we BY fanatics will have the binoculars out watching UConn's line play on both sides of the ball.

UConn should score enough that we should all take UConn and the points. I doubt that the D can get enough stops to actually win the game though. Final score? How about 28-42?

This is good. LMAO

Furman could have more. They are playing Clemson. We are playing UMASS.

Ever been to Furman? Close to the most beautiful campus in the nation.

I’m at Furman often. It’s $60k though.

 

[rich1122]

I'm more concerned about how many will be there at the start of the 4th quarter.

4k

 

[TMB4405]

Attendance will be 23,234. And honestly I am being optimistic. However as I have said I am done worrying about it and focusing on my own experience which is always fun.

 

[Hoophound]

Seating chart looked more promising than that last week.

 

[JMick]

the student section is always filled the first weekend because they entice the freshman to go. I bet 60-70% of the people in that picture were freshman

Can't ever go off the seating chart. Remember BYU? It looked like a near sellout 4 days before the game. Then the school released about 18,000 tickets about 36 hour before kickoff.

 

[Hoophound]

Uggh. Hopefully, that was a lesson learned and not the case this time.

Same as all the other privates.

 

[businesslawyer]

What lesson learned? Why do they have to "release" 18k tickets early if there are still 5 or 6k single games tickets they are trying to sell first?

 

[Excalibur]

Attended by people who apparently are willing to pay 3x as much for plywood . . .

They’re playing Clemson on the road and we play UMass a different day, but other than that it’s a solid anology.

Because more choice can induce more sales in a situation in which you have too many seats. They should just release them and always have a handful heavily discounted. If it results in selling a few extra tickets, its worth it. There really isn't any point in holding back in the age of online ordering and print at home tickets.

And....maybe just maybe, it can help the school and local media guilt a few more people into heading out to the game to help the cause. Honestly, we should be pleading with local sportscasters/writers to plug the game and how great tailgating etc. is.

But you act like there is no reason to be holding them. They hold them so that someone who wants a season ticket last minute can get the seat before someone who wants them for one game.
