They only requested 2200


More K-State fans traveled to Auburn then ku is bringing to the game in Manhattan

Seriously, only 2200??  

I wonder if their Alumni Club still has tickets, they bought some of their allotment and offered them to members.

[TheShocker]

Will someone buy me a ticket so I can go be an inspiring EMAW at this game? I am poor and I already traded my foodstamps for a ZJ.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna need a power towel too. THX! I am willing to trade a Lite Brite that is decorated to look like Ron Prince saving babies from a herd of African elephants.

[sonofdaxjones]

Only if you don't bring a baggy and take food from the tailgate.

[konofo]

If you were a ku fan, there's a good chance you'd also refuse to acknowledge these so-called "road games."

[sonofdaxjones]

According to Mooselogic thousands of ku fans bought tickets from KSU and through KSU fans.

So we can expect at least 10,000 ku fans at the game, if not more.

[sonofdaxjones]

The real interesting thing is, that the endzone visitors section at KSU isn't seperated from the field by an 8 lane track and high jumping area, that's where lots of KSU fans get relegated too at JCCC-L Stadium.

They know it's an easy W and not worth attending.

[1992]

Don't we have to give each school a 4,000 ticket "allotment"  I always thought so.

I thought visiting teams tried to sell as many as they could (X), and then they returned the unsold portion of the allotment (4,000 - X).  [Apologies for "fancy/fuzzy math".]

I find it hard to believe that they only "requested 2,200" - was this over and above their allotment?

On the otherhand, in my experience I'd say that Marshall and San Jose State brought more fans than k-who annually does.

[sonofdaxjones]

Schools can request fewer tickets, and I believe ku has done this the last several times in Manhattan.   I saw where someone said that this was mentioned in the TCJ.

The primary excuse I've seen besides the usual, is that the game was so early in the year, and so 2 or 3 months simply wasn't enough time to sell 2200 tickets.

Spend all your money on Shocker football tickets?

[Skycat]

I need to buy three.  Trying to decide if I should buy from these, or get some at the game.

It would be a no brainer but three is a crappy number to buy from scalpers.

[The1BigWillie]

Are they really $75.00 a piece?  I just got a call from a ku fan wanting to get his hands on a ticket.  He was told the tickets being released tomorrow were $75.00.  Was that the original price? Hilarious is true.  Screw 'em.

I thought they were $70 (plus some service charge).  [I think our Texas tickets - last year - were $75...and worth every penny.]

[FHSU92]

Once they heard they had to pay for this game, they backed out and decided if they were going to pay they'd rather dress up all medieval and go to the Reneissance Fair.

1.  The tickets they sell through the ku athletic department are $70 a piece.  You could go to the game and buy a much better ticket from a scalper for less than that.

2.  Manhattan is a much more hostile environment towards ku fans than Lawrence is when K-State fans come to town.  Your school centers around hating ku, and a lot of ku fans have had bad experiences in Manhattan. 

3.  ku's games vs. Central Michigan and Toledo had better attendance than any of K-State's home games this season.

1.  Probably hard to fathom a $70 price when season tickets to the ku relay stadium cost $100.

2.  I can't imagine having a good experience in Manhattan if I were a ku fan watching that mess score no touchdowns in a decade. 

3.  The bandwagon is hot as long as the weather is nice and the game is at home vs. a beatable opponent.

Probably because ku fans don't go to their home games either (except for a bunch of high schoolers who tear down goalposts.)

Yes, scalpers usually do sell tickets below face value for a sold out game.  Especially good ones.

Wrong.  K-state fans get treated horribly at ku games.  I've been spit on and someone tried to hit me after the game in 2004.  I did nothing to egg it on.  It's pathetic that ku can't even sell 2,000 tickets to this game.

We hate gay people and so does God.  It's God's wrath that makes ku fans so uncomfortable in Manhattan.

They're actually on the way now but recieved this text...



Also Mangino has already eaten all the rations of meat.

I've tailgated with K-State fans before the game, and none of them were treated horribly.  The game itself can get rowdy, but you don't see people instigating fights with K-State fans and throwing out obscenities like you do when ku comes to Manhattan.  ku is just a more friendly atmosphere in general, and K-State fans love coming to a real college town to watch a game of football.  

I can't say the same for K-State.

This is the argument that you continue to make as if it has some bearing on the game (your Super Bowl) on Oct. 6 or that it really is a valid way to gauge fan support. Give me a f-ing break man.

Do you know how I know you're gay?  Cause you're complaining about people cussing at you and hurt feelings.
