Sell Out Next Week?

[3_n_out]

Regarding the attendance, we’re building. I know it’d be great for sellouts every game, but I commend the admin and students for their efforts. Would also be great for the Greeks to be more involved in the process. Have them bring their signs and compete with others as to who can have the biggest turnout during game days. Whomever brings the the most one week gets on the field the next to help participate and advertise their chapter.

Considering the Denton Blues Festival is this weekend, I think we did well. Let's see what it looks like next weekend after this big win and without competing events in Denton.

Yes the attendance was inflated yesterday, at least we made some money from Peterbilt. Through two games we should be on pace for our best home attendance at Apogee/DATCU right?

Only if they stay until the end of the game.

We tried this in the 80s and they'd be gone at halftime.

Attendance figures are always reporting tickets sold, not butts in seats.

UNT can't sellout when they play in-state opponents, what would possess anybody to think they'd sellout for Wyoming?

I think everyone knows this. It doesn’t make the practice any less dumb. With everything being electronic nowadays they could easily announce the actual attendance. 

Last night was a jarring example. There weren't more than 22-23K. And what annoys me the most is because of the announced attendance, last night is officially the 5th best attended game in stadium history, which is total BS.

I don't think anyone wants to watch UH play. 34-0, are you all FCS?

I think we might see it this year. Army's schedule is very easy and has a good chance being 8-0 coming to Denton. If we can get there with a 6-2 record the crowd will be massive.

I get the frustration of hearing these inflated numbers, yet seeing only 15-20k butts in seats.

I also see the argument for announcing the highest figure you can.  It's salesmanship.

Social media is making this disconnect so damn obvious.  What does the on-the-fence fan think about a photo of 15-20k people when the Tweet says 27k? I personally don't think it looks good.

We'd have reported many sellouts if we used the counting methods employed by our competition.

At Tulane, all remaining tickets on Friday are transferred to Stubhub. The games are technically a sellout even though 8000 tickets or so may be available through the resale service.

Other schools just report that alumni have purchased remaining seats after kickoff to claim a sellout.

These kind of tricks are used by several colleges to report sellouts.

They should shoot for a sellout this weekend considering the weather forecast of a high of 80 and sunshine.  Looks like mid 70's at game time and mid 60's by 9:30pm.

[greenjoe]

They’re going for a “sell out.”  Not a “seat out.”

We're getting blown out almost every game yet still outdrawing UNT. So if nobody wants to see us play, then people don't even know you guys have a football team.

I would expect that a mighty Big 12 program would outdraw a lowly AAC team, right?

Ummm no, but nice effort to come on another team's board to brag about being the next best thing to sliced bread when your team has scored less points in 4 games than UNT scored in one game three nights ago. I don't see much of a huge difference attendance REPORTED wise. (Should we count Rice, who basically is a home game for them being 4 miles away?) But happy your fanbase loves the product on the field this year.
