Message: [QUOTE="ConnHuskBask, post: 2155865, member: 632"] UConn fans "only" bought 3,000 tickets directly from the school, which is the story the national sports news ran with. The issue was that UConn had to eat the cost of the 15,000 unsold tickets, where as Oklahoma only sold around 8,000 tickets directly through the school but the B12 conference ate the difference. The tickets directly through the school were outrageously expensive. However, many fans like me and my crew, who had shelled out $400 for a flight + hotel, bought our seats on Stub Hub for a fraction of the cost. The ticket issue always bothers me, because if UConn only sold 3,000 and Oklahoma only sold 8,000 did they think 55,000 random fans from Arizona were interested in UConn football and it pushed the attendance to 67k? Others on here have posted pictures of the game, but I don't think it's a stretch to say we had at least 20-25k in the house. [/QUOTE]
