Attendance Prediction for Bowl Game

Realistic Thoughts?

5-6K, i know that seems low, but we never seem to live up to expectations (this year hasn't been bad at all)

5-6k

Just for your information. My order number was#7286 at 10:29pm. I can bet you that a lot of ticket scalpers brought a lot of tickets early just to sell them at a higher price if the game gets a high demand. That is why the order# is already this high IMO.

that order number may have nothing to do with the number of tickets or even this particular bowl game.  It could be that order for the day for any and all things they sell.

As for scalpers, until something like 4:30 p.m. sales were limited to boosters so I don't think too many scalpers were picking up tickets early.

[E.T.]

Per then Times, only 1,500 sold so far.

I would imagine we'd send about 5K...max.

Here's why:

1. 3.5K season ticket accounts w/15K season tix...

2. We still sell a lot of non-season-ticket-holder tix at RayJ,

   and I doubt the "casual fan" is going to head to a bowl

   game. Remember...a lot of folks show up at RayJ when

   it's convenient...

3. I don't know if the board is necessarily representative

   of the Bulls population in general, but there seems to

   be a measure of complaining about the cost. Maybe

   some folks look at the outlay for New Years and can't

   cost justify it.

Bet on this though: That stadium will be predominately red-n-white. Even the local folks will show up decked out in their NCSU regaila.

Good points Wooly...

Personally, I was under he impression that the packages were going to be student-friendly, and that was my bad. After looking at making my own plans, things shouldnt be that expensive, especially if you split the costs with a group.

So, the moral of the story, for the poor people out there is: get a group of 5 or 6, drive up, and spilt the costs.

Between 3,000 and 5,000

Out of Curiousity how many people did we have at Oklahoma in 02 Bama the other yr and Penn St this yr   just trying to get a comparison. I assume one of those games had to be our largest away attendance ever??
