O'Leary said UCF will sell between 32,000 and 35,000 season tickets this year, compared with 14,000-15,000 last year. Story Link O'Leary apparently thinks the new stadium will more than double season ticket holders. That could develop into one hell of a buyers remorse class action lawsuit.

In 2006 they'll still be in the Citrus Bowl, so I'm sure the season tickets will be around the 15,000 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. Iam sure that number was included in their financials and is a must amke number. Besides, I am sure there are people buying tickets this year to be sure they can get into the facility next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be done, so if you want to be a part of those with season tickets next year, you have to get them now. UCF has already had 15k tickets next year put on hold. If you by tickets this year, you have the option of buying the same quantity next season as well as part of a two season ticket purchase plan. If 15k is already sold and/or put on hold already, 32-35k is a reachable number... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are expecting 35,000 season tickets to be sold. You guys are also opening a new 45,000 seat stadium. That's 78% to season tickets. So that means either 2 things. 1) Turning away fans from games 2) expanding the stadium. Either way I think that would be a loss for UCF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
