NC State attendance

[BKCuse]

These days there is very little if any walkup crowd anymore everyone seems to buy tickets ahead of time , if you think I am wrong just look at the lines or lack of next time you take in a game.

Fair point. I imagine almost no one walks up to the ticket booth and asks what’s available.
But I think we can classify all game day ticket purchases via any platform as the new definition of “walk-up”

Tirico!!

 

[wiseman3]

You think 4,000 people bought seasons tix to just go to 1 game?

Yeah there's no way thousands of people bought seasons to just see ND, lol

 

[JRHEETER]

Yeah there's no way thousands of people bought seasons to just see ND, lol

Considering that the university athletic department pushed it for awhile as the safest/cheapest way to get tickets to Notre Dame…….

But yeah, you guys got it, I’m wrong, y’all are right

In CNY, you bet your ass there is a way.

Lot of bandwagon fans of ND and those who proclaim since they are Irish, they must root for ND

And the fact that season ticket prices were increased this year just for the sole reason that they knew people would be buying seasons just to go to the Notre Dame game……

 

[jmcclure33]

Decided to come in from out of state and surprise my parents with tickets. First game for any of us in years. If not now, then when??

I don’t doubt it. I doubt there’s 4000 season tix sold for that reason alone though. That would account for almost half of new season tix sales.

That’s what Mary asked Jesus at the Canna wedding.

I think the question is how many bought seasons just to see ND. No doubt some did, I’m not sure it would be in the thousands. There is a gray area, those that bought seasons because ND was on the schedule but intend to go to other games.

Correct

But the number announced vs the number actually in the building is usually off by a few thousand

It’s pretty much how every stadium in America is, this is not a unknown or new thing

 

[the villager]

I’m Irish and never rooted for ND . All the Irishmen I know only one would root for ND over SU ,he went to school there and played football.

 

[upperdeck]

the part that doesnt make sense is if so many bought ND tickets not wanting to see other games why didnt they put them up for sale any way they could ? its not like 4000 seats are being resold

if you go to stub hub there a few hundred free in the lower deck, if you go to ticket master there are some as well. A few are cross posted but not many. but the combined resell available is not close to 4k maybe 1K..

And if people bought the multi pack options it could also be spread across other options of games.

 

[hoopsupstate]

This might be SU’s best chance to become bowl eligible. After each loss the pressure will mount.

 

[qdawgg]

Just like in years we don’t play ND the number announced is higher than the number in attendance. I stand by what I said.

Right, but people are doubting that when I say…. 42k announced with 38k in the building


All I was doing was giving examples of things that cause that number difference. For example, one of the things is people who bought season tickets for Notre Dame game and aren’t planning on attending any other games

I’m aware, In a highly anticipated game such as this the number of no shows declines. This is not a unknown or new thing.

Right, we’re on the same page

Other posters here told me I was basically an idiot for saying that actual number in is going to be lower than announced

Because the way I see the Ticketmaster map and the way tickets have been moving, I think we have an announced of 42k and we will have roughly 38k in the building

Another poster told me I was wrong because Wildhack said that we had sold 40k so how would it be possible to only have 38k in the building

Some of y’all are jumping in, in the middle of the conversation I think and missing the start of it LOL

You’re probably right about that. I wasn’t saying that wouldn’t potentially be accurate. I mistook what you meant as thousands of empty seats were because people bought seasons specifically for the ND game.

Either way, silly thing to argue about. I’ve always liked you as a poster. Nothing was meant to sound like a jerk.

 

[TheCusian]

Anywhere above 37k actual fans and it’s going to be very very loud and not conducive to a broken down NC state O

No I knew you were missing the first half of the convo LOL

Chill chill cuse doesn't do marketing.

Where's the billboards?!?!

Correct, we haven’t had a crowd of actual people over I would guess 30k this season.

To have 37/38k in the building is going to be crazy

And it could go up as the week goes.

Going to have to see how tickets move but right now they are still selling every other row

This is the 4th of these ,JB, Mikel Jones, Gary Gait did these plugs before Mike. That I know of .

Yeah I think everyone has complimented them the last week plus

They are doing a fantastic job marketing for the next game and I think they are seeing results in ticket sales as well
