Not gonna happen.

22,149 tickets sold as of this morning. I assume that number does not include student tickets.

I did the math so you don't have to...

There are approx 1,400 purchasable tickets available through the ticket office. This assumes that they are indeed sold out of the GA section. Knowing that DATCU holds 30,800, the current amount has to be sans student participation.

Why do you assume that? Why would they remove 6,000 student tickets from their website counter and kill any sense of urgency to buy tickets?

According to my boss who's a UNT alum and waited till gameday to buy tickets two weeks ago, GA tickets were "sold out" last week too and we know how the end zone actually looked.

I am afraid we may have 30,000+ tickets claimed but the same number of people that we did against SFA.

Feels different considering they publicly announced an endzone/wing sell out but we’ll see.

The Athletic Department is most likely giving those to partner organizations in and around Denton to distribute. So they're not available for sale, but that doesn't mean they'll get used. For all we know, they're sitting on an Administrator's desk at a local area school.

I wouldn't doubt it at all. My first job out of college was ticket sales manager for the Dallas Rattlers, the Major League Lacrosse team that played two seasons at The Star in Frisco. The Cowboys were supposed to be "partners" and our first home game back in 2018 was the only game we opened up ticket sales to both sides of the stadium in hopes of filling it. The Cowboys took hundreds of tickets they were supposed to distribute - to partners, season ticket holders, etc. Come gameday that huge stack was just laying on the counter in the box office.

Anything north of 25000 people actually in their seats will be a positive.

Sure was a lot of purple when SFA played on the West Side....

Venson · September 21

Not gonna happen. I clicked on buy tickets this morning and there are still several tickets available on the home side mostly in the upper deck. I highly doubt that many people will walk up and buy tickets or that many will purchase that many online before the 6 PM kick off.

Venson · September 21

I personally bought 8 tickets for my brothers and their families, but there are still several left. Peterbilt buying 2000 is good for revenue, but I highly doubt that 2000 people at Peterbilt will show up. I am predicting close to 24,500 in seats. I do hope I am wrong by 5600.

25K after last weeks game would be incredible! Depending how the season plays out, Army may be a natural sell out.

MeanGreen22 · September 21

Does not appear likely but shout out to the AD for trying to make it happen! Reconfigure the website and try again for Tulane or Army!

The Army game is on Veterans Day Weekend (November 11 is the next Monday). Proper promotion could fill the Stadium.

Discounts for Veterans, Honoring Disabled Veterans, maybe a special performance with music honoring our Country, etc.

The game will be just 4 days after the election.

Post election Veteran’s Day hype? image.png.a4ca8970c565e7cec94220280429c16d.png no matter who wins the election around 50% of people in 60 mile radius of Denton won’t be feeling very patriotic. And with our current political climate that percentage should be near 80% regardless of who wins. Because there was a time a peaceful uneventful, uncontroversial, transfer of power was taken for granted. This time no matter who wins you would be a fool to feel anything more positive than cautious optimism that an uneventful transfer of power takes place.

At best when it comes to attendance at that game, we should hope that nation wide protest by elephant poop loving or jackass kissing rubes isn’t discouraging the rational people from going to any mass gathering events where there could be protest.

Four whole days after the election? I wish our men's basketball home opener got that lucky. 😔

This. Just because today isn’t a sellout doesn’t mean the effort was wasted.

Keep the campaign going. Double down on making it inclusive as a community effort to build the program, and try again for the remainder of the home games this season.

We have to win to keep the casuals coming! Bonus if it’s a good game. I’d rather see a UNT blowout win, but you know. For the fans….
