<40 for UT, We are talking to Texas and to Tech trying to see if we can get an advanced package of tickets returned (but would only put them for sale after the Miami game) It doesn't look like either will comply though and will just try to sell the tickets they still have and if they don't send them back at the usual 9 day notice before the game.
Ticket office and AD are trying to capitalize on all the excitement for this season trying to get every game besides Miami to be sold out to boost excitement and push the demand up for the Miami game and then kick in the 6 day marketing blitz with advertisements talking about how this would be the last chance to buy tickets to see the cats play this year etc etc
solid plan.
how many left for Miami?
The squawks don't believe the actually returned tickets, think it's a lie.
I have not gotten an updated figure in a few games, i would venture to guess it is <1005
This is the exact story from inside the Athletic Department, confirmed by my source who is high up in the Ticket Office, corroborated by a friend who works for the Alumni Association, and not denied who works for the KU Athletic Marketing division.
"KU took out their maximum allotted tickets for the game which is 3,875. After their pre-sale to season ticket holders and Williams Fund donors they had only sold 783 tickets. After the full band accounted for their tickets, and the initial month of sales on the KU website they had just sold over 1100 tickets. At that point Zenger and Peter Muther contacted K-State saying they would send back some tickets early as a sign of good faith (in hopes K-State would one day help KU out in someway). Both Zenger and Muther got mad when the K-State Alumni Association, Ahearn Fund, and K-State Athletics advertised it as KU already sending tickets back."
