Ticket Sales for SMU

[MadisonSquare Gordon]

Anyone seen any figures on how tickets are selling? I know they were offering $25 tickets as of yesterday, but it would be pretty sad if we couldn't sell this game out.

And before anyone asks - I'm in Atlanta so no, I haven't done my part in buying tickets. But I'd be willing to pitch in some money to get some students to the game.

This game really should've been at Gampel, IMO

Should hear something here in about 20 minutes

I miss the days when this was actually funny. Can't we retire "20 minutes" already?

 

[Excalibur]

Can't we retire "20 minutes" already?

Guess when that might happen . . .

Asking to retire 20 min is like pouring water on gremlins.

 

[Bryan Lord]

The saying should really be "10 min" in this day and age of social media. 20 min was good enough back in like 06 maybe.

in about 20 minutes.

Yeah, if you're incapable of being funny, just go for annoying.

I checked the seat map last night. LOTS of available tickets in the upper sections...

 

[FeedTheDove]

Crazy thing is there are tons of student tickets available as well...

Fan support has been extremely disappointing this season. Students included.

Where do you see that student tickets are available...?

Crazy, mainly because student tickets 'sold out' when they went on sale.

 

[Penfield]

I am thinking they are selling non-student tickets to students at a reduced rate

 

[Penfield]

I just checked it out the available tix and its not that bad. Just by looking I would guess over 14,000 have been sold, and the only sections you can get more than one ticket together are the upper ends.

I think you mean mogwais. The mogwais turned into gremlins if you fed them after midnight.

Every game at the XL gives 6,000 more fans the opportunity to go. There a lot of kids out there growing up UConn fans and if it weren't for the games at the XL, they'd have far fewer chances.

If they sell 14,000 there'll be 2,000 empty seats. And also 4,000 more people than if the game was at Gampel.
