So with the students out of the equation since they have to buy their tickets, with advance time to plan for a game (safe to assume we are winning first round game, with bye, 3 weeks to plan for this game), so it true demand for bison football in the 17K to 18K range, not 25-30k like some want to believe?

Media has done a horseshit job about NDSU football tickets. They chirp nonstop about how NDSU Football tickets are SOLD OUT for the entire season... meaning Todd & Rachel from Hoople don't even ATTEMPT to get tickets anymore.. everyone has their watch parties and bison tv watching traditions out there... Coupled with the FCS Stagnation & Complacency.... if NDSU had a 42,000 stadium and played a true FBS schedule, every game would be sold out.

Depends on when you're talking about. Demand for playoff games is always going to be less. That's the case everywhere across the FCS and it is the same at NDSU. The fact that NDSU consistently puts 18,000+ in the Fargodome in the playoffs shows that we weather playoff ticket apathy syndrome better than almost everyone else in the FCS but we're not immune to it.
For the regular season I'm sure they could occasionally sell out a 25k seat stadium. For playoffs I doubt you'd see anything over 20k ever and probably about 18k on average like they get now.

Have we ever sold less than 18k tickets for a playoff game? (not counting 2010) This one will sell out like the rest. And they always under report playoff ticket sales because the NCAA gets most of the money so comps aren't included in the numbers
I would guess playoff fan base is about 20k which is probably less than the regular season but given the Frisco numbers probably higher

Re: Ticket Alert: Wofford game tickets available
The NCAA should be paying for advertisements since they get most of the ticket revenue.

JMU has a capacity of 25k and they only got 16k to their game with Stony Brook.

I would think the tickets would be immediately snapped up because they are available. One of the complaints is tickets aren't available. Yet today tickets are available. So what is the real demand? Just a hypothetical question. If ticket demand is 25k per game, but only 18-19k are sold when tickets are available. That would tell me the demand. I don't see why it makes a difference if regular season or playoff. Weather can impact yes.
-
Re: Ticket Alert: Wofford game tickets available
Another part of it is there is a subset of fan who has stopped trying to get tickets - because its 'always impossible'.
The reality is for any given game at the Fargodome someone probably has a ticket they're willing to part with, if you can find them and meet their price.

It's just the reality. I don't know if it's the short turnaround time, the proximity to the holidays, or something else. But even NFL teams struggle to sell out playoff games: http://www.businessinsider.com/why-n...old-out-2014-1

Re: Ticket Alert: Wofford game tickets available
High school winter sports are in full swing: basketball, wrestling and hockey. Lots of holiday tournaments around the area. Also youth basketball and hockey are in full swing. I know a few families that found people to sit in their seats because of these reasons.

Makes me wonder how much warm weather tailgating helps drive attendance. I don't know, but food for thought.

The supposed subset doesnt come in to play when the supposed demand is 25-30k that gets bandied about by some. Plus you continually hear how the "play off" crowd is going to takeover.

Warm weather just drives tailgating by those that dont have tickets.
I wont be taligating the usual 5.5 hours before the game this weekend. I will be there about an hour then in to the dome I go.

I think the season ticket demand is different than single game demand.

For sure tailgating and all the festivities drives game gate attendance. It becomes a bigger attraction with a full day of events for travelers and locals alike. It would be interesting to see what renovations to make the Dome hold 23K-25K would do to attendance. I think it would generate a lot of walk up traffic on game day. A lot of fans would come if they didn't have to commit so far in advance with all that's going on in this world today. And, continue to win always helps.

The warm weather early season crowd just wants to be there and have a ticket for every game and quite often don't use their tickets . It's kind of the trendy thing and we could sell a ton of them.
The late season playoff crowd are your hardcore fans who have 6 days to prepare and always show and are rowdier.
This week sucks. Our tailgating is very short and it's colder than hell. But these are the fun games I look forward to. Just not the 11 am start

Not sure what you mean Gabe; tailgating is just as long as any other game.

TRUE. I run into these people frequently & it amazes me!
A college professor who has a son in the band (& they live in Moorhead) told me last wknd that he hasn't been to a game in years.
I asked, "Why not?" Reply: "You can't get tickets." (The education process began.) I honestly hear this alot.
-
Re: Ticket Alert: Wofford game tickets available
We aren't even going to bother tailgating this weekend. It's not really worth the work when it's just a handful of us out there for most of the time. Probably start at my house and head some place for breakfast beers.
-
Re: Ticket Alert: Wofford game tickets available
I think the biggest part of it is how much prices have creeped up. $40/ticket is getting up there for this level of football and makes it difficult to justify taking the entire family or for casual fans.
I think there's quite a few tickets available still...I can still get a set of 8 sideline tickets. That hasn't happened in years.

I've always felt the playoff tickets were cheap...compared to how much tickets cost per game during the regular season with the Teammaker fee on top.

Tickets were available on Gobison.com every day last week. They even had a window open at the dome for purchasing tickets on Saturday.

I have a big decision to make...do I turn on the game to catch 2nd half...or do I wait until the replay comes on and watch the whole thing without prior knowledge? I'd like to watch the whole thing without prior knowledge...but don't know if I'll have the strength to wait that long...and tough to not hear other people talking...
