bincitysioux Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Have to say I am very pleasantly surprised by the ticket sales to this point. The 7,500 sold already exceeds my expectations. Anything beyond that is gravy IMO. I guess i should have had more faith! Can't wait until Saturday....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F'n Hawks Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 We are luck to have Bubba! He is doing everything possible to make it a packed house, I saw on Twitter he went to technology bingo and invited all the students there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 After counting the seats on Ticketmaster that available now after the Richmond seats were released, here is what the numbers look like for tickets sold and tickets available as of this morning: (side note, these numbers are approximate, but still pretty close) Tickets Sold - 7801 Free student tickets given away - 1000 (approximately) So that brings the total up to 8801. And that doesn't include students that bought their tickets outside the donation giveaways, the band, red shirts from the football team that will be in the student section, as well as the walk ups the day of the game. Looking at the numbers, I am very encouraged. There will definitely be 9000+ at the game. Hoping for a big walk up crowd. Anyone know if they eventually release the unused student tickets for General Admission? People may be waiting to get those as well. Looking good! #FilltheAl 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDColorado Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I believe we can surpass 10,000 as the momentum has been strong this week and I wouldn't be surprised to see 1,500+ walk up tickets sold. I can't wait for tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Time Hockey Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Wish I could go! Kids have a hockey game at 4:15. I will watch it on tv, but it hurts not being able to be there in person! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I am thinking the attendance will be good to great for this game. Now we need to make sure everyone is loud on ALL downs (not just 3rd and 4th). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petey23 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Didn't feel like reading through this thread but has their been discussion as to why this game isn't at 12 noon, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30...? Just curious as to why we take the biggest home football game our team has played in years and hold it opposite our defending National Championship hockey team playing in a nationally televised game in which we promoted and put together travel packages to go to New York City. I am attending the football game but am more than a little pissed about the game time. When I first heard we were playing at 5 my first thought was that the NCAA must determine the starting game times since there is no way anyone in our athletic department would be dumb enough to overlap the hockey and football games unless they had no choice.

I hope the guys who are the self proclaimed crowd leaders are spread throughout the Alerus to turn around and raise their hands in the air and angrily implore the crowd to match their effort. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because NOBODY tells NDSU what to do. This tournament is just a coronation party for them. Of course they get to set their own game times.

The Sicatoka Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 So, you'll believe them and not me. Fine. Don't believe me; believe the NCAA. Quote First, second and quarterfinal-round games broadcast on ESPN3 may start no earlier than 1 p.m. local time. Preferred game times will be taken into strong consideration; however, finalized game times will ultimately be determined by ESPN in consultation with the NCAA Source: http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/2016DIMFB_BID-FORM_1st-Qtr_pref_start_times_20161017.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source: http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/2016DIMFB_BID-FORM_1st-Qtr_pref_start_times_20161017.pdf Not really that far fetched that they give the #1 seed firs shot at start time and then give consideration to the rest based on ranking. As the #7, I am sure we didn't have much choice. I doubt that Faison submitted a 5pm start time knowing it would conflict with the hockey game.

SiouxFan100 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 22 hours ago, AJS said: Is the lower section of 202 reserved for anyone? If it is and none of those are sold than the Heralds numbers would make a little more sense. There are now additional seats available in section 202. You were right!

AJS Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 The Herald's numbers definitely make sense now, after seeing basically the entire section of 202 open up as well as a lot of 203. Current count - 3032 tickets available = 7129 non-student tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
