Title: There is no defending this...6K tickets left for ku?

Tickets for ku game

As of Tuesday, there are about 6,000 tickets still remaining for K-State's next home game on Nov. 7 against Kansas. The start time will be determined on Sunday.

wtf

For the first time since 2003, Kstate has a legitimate shot to win the Division in a year when alot of us predicted to win only 4 games all year. ku is looking very average..and Snyder had(s) absolutely pwned ku his entire career...and he gets another crack at the fatman once again. A win over ku and you can do two things...1. stick a fork in ku's chances at winning the North. It might not be us...but it won't be them. 2. We have the clear advantage to win the Division, depending on what takes place this Saturday.

All of that...and we can't sell out a home game vs. Kansas? I can understand about 1K-2K remaining but 6K is just a disgrace....What are people wanting? To be ranked? Undefeated? I'm really hoping we don't start handing out tickets at grocery stores or we have absolutely no basis for finger pointing other schools that do such a thing. Rant over. Don't be a jayhawk.

Part of this might have to do with no official game time yet.

Bought my ticket to Norman and the ku game Monday morning.

If KSU plays well Sat and ku loses as they should, Game will sellout.

Bullshlt...  it has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that our Athletic Dept is trying to gouge folks for $75 a pop.

ding ding ding.  not everyone can afford $150 for tix plus gas, food, beer, etc.  if it had a ticket package like the A&M or Mizzou games or were priced like all the other home conference games it would have sold out already.

Book,
I totally agree with you, but I'm thinking it has something to do with the recession. I thought the CU game attendance was embarassing as well after the A&M win.

Last year, I started an attendance vent on the b ball board and got lambasted for it. F 'um.

I get that. I think $75 for a crapty GA seat is a joke...If Currie was creative he would find a happy medium between making SOME money ...and getting people into the game.

I'm sure ku fans are dumping their tickets as we speak on stubhub/craigslist/ebay in fear.

It would be interesting to me to see them have some numbers crunchers/data gathering folks do an extensive study pertaining to adding a significant number of additional seating and lowering season ticket prices/individual game ticket prices, and possibly expanding the mandatory donation seating (not a huge donation say $50 bucks per seats into the lessor seating areas).

It would be interesting to see what the price points would need to be/tickets sold need to be in order to grow revenue . . . coupled with additional suite/club suite sales (if there really is a waiting list for those things).

The only way I would pay $75 a seat is for a bowl game in a sunny location during the winter.

ku at home ain't it.

Ummm, I did my part when I was a student - I attended EVERY GAME at the Bill (prior to naming it the Bill) Ball freaking State when they were on their 36 game losing streak - I was there, N Texas - yup them too, etc. This is part of the college experience peeps! There is no excuse - buy the freaking ducket. Students will spend that much money on beer alone when there isn't a game in town. Support the FCKING team or our credibility for packing a stadium is nil.

Bought mine before the season started...  When we had no chance of winning.

Fairweather, Bandwagon fans make me sick.   :yuck:

Buy one less douchebag apple-tini a month down at the Power & White district and get your sorry :bootyshake: to the game!!!!

 :curse: :angry:

($7 a drink/month * 12 months/year = ticket price) for those who missed it.

We'd have loved to go to the ku games, but at $75 per x 3 EMAWs + 3 Squawks, it's WAY too much. A&M was affordable, Mizzou affordable, but I draw the line when it too $$. Times are tough and money's tight right now. K-State should consider cutting ticket prices to more reasonable levels. Hell, even parking's up from last year.

This ain't the poor house, brother.  If you want charity, drag your ass to the local soup kitchen. 

ADJC has already slashed prices dramatically, $9 tickets, $20 tickets, $99 season ticket packages, etc. 

$75 for the most important game of the year isn't unreasonable.  Especially given the posture of this year's team.  If you haven't noticed, this team is sitting at #1 in the North.  A win over ku will put us 1 MU win away Dallas.  ku is going to be the biggest game of the season to his point.

Three reasons:

1. No start time
2. We &@#%ing suck and most of us know it (with or without a chance to win the north)
3. 75 bucks..

Man you have no heart!!  This from somebody who has been laid off twice in 14 months.  I would love to go to the game.  But when money is tight and the AD decides to jack the price up for this one game. I can see why it's not a sell out.  If he wants to sell out The Bill maybe he should think about the people who are struggling right now.  There nothing like forget about your problem while watching the Mythical Birds get piss pounded!!

I can't believe people actually bitch about $75 tickets.  What day and age are they living in?  I get it, the economy is tough, but my god you can't buy crap for $75 dollars anymore, let alone getting the entertainment of watching our cats who we love kick the crap out of ku.  Give me a freaking break K-State fans.  Buy the tickets and get ur asses in the seats.  Me and a buddy decided to take an annual rivalry game trip this year.  He's an OU fan, so we decided on the Red River Shootout (believe me, as a kstater this was tough, but I went for the atmosphere).  Guess what our tickets cost $400 dollars. And guess, what?  That place was completely packed to the hilt.  Best atmosphere I've ever been to in college football and I've been to every stadium in the Big 12 and SEC as I was a athletic trainer under Snyder '95-'98 and at Arkansas under Houston Nutt in '00 and '01.  Next time any of you wanna bitch about the money other schools have and we don't you can point to this type of crap! :kstatriot:
