FS: finally sold
- Thread starter KLP630
- Start date
Years ago I overpaid several hundreds to get lower level seats. Now not only would I not take free tickets, but I won’t even pay $5 to watch it on espn+. But I will watch every game that’s free on regular TV. That’s where I’m at.
Based on the lack of interest in the tickets, I think many people are having similar thoughts.
Second conference game, didn't expect it this soon however. FAMU must have been the tipping point.

Not to hijack the thread but I cannot believe you can get into the ISU-KU game for $15 (which is what they are going for here and on Stubhub). Even lower level seats for $40-$50. That hasn't happened in almost a decade here...
And JP needs a win. With tickets for KU selling for as low as $6, he sure doesn't want to go down the free pizza Iowa City road.
Since these have sold I don’t feel bad about hijacking it anymore. I don’t expect him to get fired at the end of the year barring something dramatic but I wonder if the ticket apathy forces JP to make a move sooner than he’d like.
I know for example I’ve considered finally buying season tickets next year. With likely not being able to make each game and the debate over getting two sets or sitting alone coupled with the teams performance I’m not exactly itching to get them.

They sold ALL the tickets for this game, the AD doesn't care about what happens to them after that. Any apathy won't be on their radar until tickets go on sale next season. Even then, you're crazy if you think enough season ticket holders would give up their seats to get him concerned. The "dont' buy tickets" protest takes years to sink in.
Unless it changed since yesterday it wasn’t sold out. I don’t think it does force their hand to act after this year but I’m surprised by the lack of demand for this game.
I think that Pollard cares deeply about whether Hilton tickets are is such demand that the worst seats are being sold by third parties for $100+ (or today not selling for under $20). Pollard wants his product to be in very high demand. This season so far is probably not helping his plan for reindexing donor levels.
Personally, I take the long view. The more of you guys in the balcony who bail (and the more radical Pollard's reindexing), the better seats we will end up with.
