How close are we to a sell-out?

[Triple B]

I would be very pleasantly surprised if we go over 60K distributed for this game ... It would be a great sign for the program.

[BULL-UT]

Yeah, I think for the casual football fan in the Tampa area, Cincinnati is not that big a draw.  Even at #8.

I think it is.  #8 (atleast) vs #23 (atleast) on national TV in Tampa is all that matter to some casual fans.  Also take into consideration that Cincy has a little more credibility now then in years past since they won the conf last year and went to a BCS game

Plus someone brought up a good point about the Rays game last year when comparing attendence to this game vs the Pitt game last year.

I would say atleast 5K people who would of went to the USF game didn't go because of the Rays playoff game.

I think 60K+ will happen and it could push to a sell out.  Hopefully we are selling a lot of the Pick 3 packages. 

the casual fan remembers the bulls tanking the last 2 season in oct.... win against cincy in convincing fashion the bulls game against wvu will be a sell out very quickly

it isnt a sellout yet?

Too bad, it should be a great game.  There is going to be a lot settled that night on who is for real and who is not.

marketing problem

#8 team going to must venues would sell out

Not sure what more USF can do to market this game.  It's pretty much everywhere.  I think we'll get the 60k.

If the USF marketing team can Morph #8 Cincy into #8 Ohio State, then it would sell out.

Cincy just does not have the name appeal or fan base to bring 10,000+ fans to Tampa for a THURSDAY night game. USF certainly can't fill up more than about 55,000 seats on its own at this point.

USF is already selling $10 tickets for this game. Do you think USF marketing should rather pay fans $10 to come watch the game in order to get a possible sellout? LOL

[USF_Grouper]

Worth noting that with the $10 deal for upper level corner tickets, looking at best available might be misleading.  Most casual fans will probably just get the $10 upper tickets instead of ~$35 for mid-field upper level.  Looks like sales of $10 are going well.  I think 60,000 is a good goal.

How many in your group for that game?

[No_Willie_Jokes_Yet]

Well I just sold SIX tickets on stubhub for $150 EACH. So people will pay for good seats for a good game.
