If SU counts people in the building and tickets sold, I think we will be well over 40k. But if it is tickets scanned it will be well below.

A few games this year I have had to sell tickets I wasn't going to use. Ticketmaster always had a suggested price that was way too high. The price I listed was always well below that price and if there were no bites I had to lower it the day before to the price I paid for it (so my net was a loss after TM took 10%).

I listed two for Miami where the TM suggested price was $225 for $150. They sold right away. When I looked at the ticket map this morning I noticed that those tickets were listed for resale at $275. Which makes me wonder was this a ticket broker looking to make a flip? If they are using the same suggested price predictor that TM uses, it could be. That would also explain all those rows with resales still left.

One would think that TM had an accurate suggested price given all the data they have but whatever they use is waaaaay off. Has been all season. So if they are off with the resales, it makes you wonder if they are improperly pricing the regular tickets for SU. My section I see tickets (non resale) for $167. No one is paying that. If all the ticket prices are off, it is no wonder we see so many unsold right now.

SU might want to look into this. Maybe the low attendance this year is more TM overpricing the tickets than lack of interest.
