300 singles 650 seats still together.

1.  Thanks 

2.  Any hope?

I got an automated call today.  First part was the audio highlight of the goal-line stance last year.  They are trying hard.  Bring the price down on those shitty seats by $20 and I bet they would sell out before Friday.

[scottwildcat]

yeah I think there is hope. emails, phone calls, tweets all will happen. There isn't as much optimism as there was last week due to a lot of tickets on the secondary markets. We would probably need to get rid of all the seats together by Thursday to have a real shot at a true sell out.

the people I talk to say they aren't going to drop tickets most likely because then it would create an atmosphere of people not buying tickets early, trying to wait to the last second to buy tickets to see if they will drop the prices and then if they don't they don't buy. Also would create a riot of anyone who bought tickets at 85 or 75 if they dropped prices by 20

The AD wasn't too concerned about riots from the fans who don't get Kansas Now 22 and won't be able to watch nonconference basketball this year. Why should they be concerned about a few hayseed fans who get pissed off because people who got worse seats than they did are paying less for tickets? I really don't think a whole lot of people are going to not buy good seats when they could wait for the price drop on the shittiest seats in the house just because it happened that one time we played Miami.

Wednesday numbers were not great folks, minimal singles were bought and less than 150 together were bought.

*my own opinion not that of my sources in the ticketing offices*

I don't think we will sell out. I think we will have 49k there(which is not bad at all seeing we have had a few seats taken away with construction this year), and will be sub 500 tickets left but I am not seeing a sell out.


The people inside the ticket office are optimistic and are hoping for a big walk up crowd and a late push today and tomorrow.

not a huge deal imo... 49k will be still be loud and look decent on tv.  I think they need to charge $65 instead of $75 for some of these higher profile games.  just a little difference like that makes it look a lot more affordable to john q emaw.

this is why there is absolutely no need to schedule big names for out of conference and why i laugh at kstate fans that think we should. kstate fans as a whole would much rather have ten dollar tickets and beat teams by fifty then have to pay fifty dollars or more for a ticket with a chance to lose. i mean, we're not even going to sell out miami.

I still think it would be different if the game was at 1:00 or later.  Hotels are already sold out, so anyone who buys a ticket last minute will have to leave early that same day from wherever.

Agree, but FX national broadcast is slightly more fun than kstatehd.tv

meh... i'm not going to be too frustrated we will still be getting a nice lil cash purse from this game compared to a game vs North Texas or New Mexico or another crap non-con game. Yeah I wish we were going to sell out, i think it would happen if tickets were 15 bucks cheaper, or the game was not at 11 but ya know what, selling out the season minus Miami and drawing 49k+ every game with slightly reduced seating this season ain't bad.

The good thing about this year, and this is to John Currie's credit, is they sold those $99 season tickets back in March to the upper corners.  With ~500 empty seats this time it will still look like a sellout because people will just spread out in the single gaps.  There won't be empties in the upper deck corner.  There will be empties in the top few rows of the bleachers, but those never get on TV anyway.

500*18/49500 = 0.182 extra seating inches per person.

National TV, exposure, and recruiting.  In theory.  Obviously, Snyder can't recruit and exposure is irrelevant.  But, for a guy like Gundy at OSU or Pinkel at MU, guys who want to promote their shiny new facilities, elite uniforms, etc., there is certainly benefit in playing a nationally televised game against Arizon State over playing Missouri State on the internet.

great point.  we've needed to solve the "upper deck corners" problem for years so props to currie for getting that done.  that is what I like to call a "red currie" move -- spicy, powerful and bold.  he still needs to cut down on his "yellow currie" moves still though, i.e., over-compliance, frank, etc.  these are bland, weak moves that do not inspire.  however overall he is a pretty tasty athletic director.

i agree to. whoever has been doing ticket marketing for the past four years or so has been doing great imo. parts of the stadium that were never filled are now filled and they are being kind of creative in how they are doing it. getting people in the stadium is great.

it is my strong feeling that the recent records, bowl games, uniforms, shiny new facilities, social abilities of respective staffs and recruiting philosophies of those above staffs have about one billion times more relevance than whether or not they have a non conference game on tv against arizona state or not. that one somewhat big non con game a year is irrelevant imo.

If you can get him to post here, I'll go through the numbers with him and prove why it shouldn't.
