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.

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

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.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

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.
