10000 Bison Strong

[SDbison]

Anybody know if the NDSU Alumni Association, Teammakers or some other campus department will ever set up a website for those looking to sell, donate, or buy single game tickets?
Would be nice to encourage season ticket holders that don't plan to attend a game do something with them. If given to some volunteer organization great, and if the seller doesn't want money the tickets could be sold and profits given to teammakers.
The privaliged types who leave big blue gaps in the seating at mid field just because they don't care to go to a game piss me off. Do something with those tickets people!

So you mean 14,000 is the maximum number of season tickets that could ever be sold for NDSU football at the Fargodome. Given that around 4,000 are allotted for students and about 500 for players & coaches families and university guests. That leaves about 500 more that could be added to any of the above possiblities after being made available for opponents fans.
So if 10,000 season tickets are sold that means only about 4,000 tickets can be sold for single games. Most of those would be in the upper half of the end zones.

Good point
There is no way they are going to have 14000 season tickets holders. That wouldnt allow anything for single game sales. I think you are looking at 10-12,0000 max.

I agree the limit on season tickets is likely about 12,000 (still leaves 2,000 for single game purchase). That would fill the east and west sides and more than half way up in the endzones. I say move the visitors section to the top of the endzone if this ever happens.

Wrong, PL.

19,287 is FFD's capacity.

19,287 - 14,000 = 5,287

approx. 3,800 tickets for students = 1,487 tickets left.

Then take away 550 visitors tickets and you get

937 single game tix available for each game, or 5,622 total for a season.

Also, Josh Hemmingway told me personally that 14,000 is our max.

Ahhhh, but where in your records do you account for Lakes? He is not a mere ticketholder. He does not travel alone, but has an entourage. And they all have groupies. And then there is the press to consider. Oh Bisonator, you have traveled down a slippery slope*

I am not sure how it works but a lot of sports franchises will oversell an event based on a % of no shows they usually have. These tickets are good for any open seat that can be found. It is a way of ensuring that seats within the sitelines of the camera are full.

I guess the Yankees didn't try this last season.

The problem with the Yankees is that they charge FAAAAAAAR out the ass for tickets, effectively silencing the demand.

But lakes doesn't need tickets for his entourage he "makes them rain" from the rafters of the Fargo Dome.
