Dino Might Be Disappointed Friday Night

[Jake]

I also would not have put the Duke basketball game on sale tomorrow to the general public. There is only so much disposable income people have and some will choose the hoops game over SU football.

Yeah. Horrible timing there. Will need a big push to get to 40k. Weather looks crappy for a walk up crowd too.

The NC State game was the best selling game all year long. Tough to get a big push this late.

But they are moving good numbers...

Anyone notice that 4 symmetrical sections are suddenly unavailable? 303, 335 on our sideline, 317, 321 on their sideline. There's no way all the seats in these sections will be full. Or even half full based on recent games.

Gotta be closed off for a reason. blocked off until sales pick up below.

 

[Jake]

Thats what 20,000 blue dots looks like

Not quite that many...

I have to say, the $20 tickets has a bunch of casuals talking about going and it being a good Friday night activity.

Mentioned it at our morning meeting at work today and 3 people came up to me to get the link. Sold 6-8 tickets from it. There’s a definite buzz around this team amongst the casual supporters. Just wish it was a Saturday game.

Yup seems counter productive...wait till next week to schlep Duke.

Talk is cheap...you have to push them to commit.

I have a pair coming from Albany for the game...my old next door neighbor. If every STH can convince someone to come it will help.

 

[upperdeck]

it does make you wonder if they think when the do this.. the duke game is gonna sell itself no matter when it goes live.

 

[Orange46R]

Yup incredibly stupid...what till next week to schlep Duke

Should have run a promo tomorrow - can buy 1 Duke ticket for every Louisville ticket you buy. Then put Duke on sale to the public next week...

 

[TexanMark]

Not quite that many...

Agreed...that looks like 32-33k to me. I think we can get to 40K but the Duke presale will clog the phone lines and frustrate several hundred not to buy

Great idea... almost like you are a pro at this stuff. ;-)

Offer to give them then tickets in person IF they come to the Dome Friday night.

 

[Cuseman78]

Geez, that is beyond stupid. Why in the world would they be worried about Duke of all weeks? Unless they're going to give people discounted tickets to the Louisville game when people call in to purchase Duke tix.

Just give them away at this point. The poor coaches are wasting their time tweeting about filling the Dome. It really shouldnt be this difficult.

Do people still call the box office to buy tickets?

 

[upperdeck]

there are barely any decent duke tickets anyway.. its all long range for the most part left.

A referral program would great. Can’t believe they haven’t done it.

$10 concession voucher plus a lottery ticket for every ticket referred. Then you can have a bunch of different cool stuff for the lotto. Meet the coaches/players/dome tour etc. even a set of seasons tickets to b-ball!

 

[TexanMark]

Yes...trust me...cuse.com is not the must friendly website to buy tickets from...frustrating is putting it mildly.

I'm hoping things pick up but Wednesday night should provide the best feel for whether this trended in the right direction or not.

BVille44 - I'm not sure what I was looking at at work but when I got home and looked again, I saw where there were all the empty seats. Very depressing, not what I thought I saw originally.

That's hugely disappointing. #13 in the country. I guess if you're bad enough, for long enough, people will completely forget about you. A lost generation.

 

[wiseman3]

Everyone do whatever they can to get people to the game. We can make a difference. These kids deserve it. Whatever it takes.

 

[BVille44]

Some do because there are no Ticketmaster surcharges and processing fees.

 

[BVille44]

If someone is looking for all the links and information about tickets here they are:

Best seats in the house: 1-888-DOMETIX or Cuse.com/Tickets

$20 Tickets: Cuse.com/ThankYou18

$69 Fastrac Orange 4 Pack: Orange 4 Pack - Fastrac

$10 Tickets: Veterans and members of the armed services bring your MilitaryID to the box office on game day.

This may be the single biggest factor.

 

[TexanMark]

Cuse fans are responding...we need to keep pumping our friends to commit. Starting to feel confident we'll announce a crowd of 40-42k. Not great but not horrible either. Love to see us get to 44k

Seats are moving, have a way to go but its picking up.
