They've only sold 12 tickets at over 60% off  :sdeek:


It says that 798 people have purchased the deal, which is pretty damn good.

it's like my dad always said... if you can't beat em, groupon em.

WE HAD THE SAME DAD!?   :horrorsurprise:

I love second/secret family stories. You guys should def hash this out either in this thread or the Doom on You thread.

i think it was actually a fairly common saying back in the day. similar to six of one, half a dozen of the other.

No...it says 21.....your pathetic fanbase haven't even bought enough to trigger the deal.  You need to rally the troops, you only need 29 more buys to get to the magic 50.

Beems is right.  Congrats on selling nearly 800 tickets to a football game a while back!

Also, Hareley Day brings in a ton of money. Selling things (or not selling things) on Groupon does not.

Will you squawks ever figure out how this "making money" thing works?

Yeah Harley Day...a hundred plus harleys times $500 each = $50,000 plus

Groupon = 22 people times $25 = $550

Groupon's cut is usually around 40% so KU is netting around $300.

Damn... didn't realize this was an old thread.  I still don't think trying to sell tickets through groupon is a big deal... especially when you've got a sh*tty football team that's lost six straight games.

So beems is back on the official ku "wait til basketball season" train.  I'll give him credit, took a little while longer for him to get there than most. 


You really have to feel for Turner to get such little support when he needs it most.

Ok, but its still pretty embarrassing that even the first time around

1) they had that many tickets to sell
2) They didn't even sell 800.

the most embarassing part isn't that they used groupon. it's that they used groupon and i don't think they're going to make it to the fifty people needed for the deal to be a deal. seem to be stuck on 29.
