Anyone know how many tickets have been sold as of now?

Less than 1900 left per earlier post.

[Regul8te]

WSU opening at -3

-13 seems more reasonable

[wichshock65]

Less than 1900 left per earlier post.

This thing is going to be real close to a sellout. Can't wait!

[JMAN_KC]

Are masks required at Intrust?

I’ll update the numbers later tonight.

[wichshock65]

Are masks required at Intrust?

Nope, just encouraged.

[shocks02]

Tickets left

Wednesday afternoon: 3,200
Thursday evening: 2,900
Friday evening: 2,600
Saturday noon: 1,900

Just over 1,000 tickets left at the moment.

I concur, it will be interesting to see if more seats reappear after midnight since it looks like they blocked out every other row initially for the promo today. Some seats seemed to be added back during the day today as sales may have been fairly brisk.

I helped my sister-in-law buy tickets tonight

Just the upper bowl end sections that have any seats left. And most of those seats are scattered about the top 2 or 3 rows.

Even if it doesn't officially sell out, it will look, feel and sound like a sell out

[ShockerFever]

They maximized their income on this game by taking this approach, I'm sure. But it's a little near-sighted to always focus on maximizing the short term dollar. It's way better to have kids and families filling every single seat at a lower profit margin, because you are creating a recurring revenue stream in the future by doing that. They really should focus on growing their fan base (by pricing to sell out every single game) instead of trying to extract every dollar they can from the market they have (which will shrivel over time).

Bingo.

Covid will probably have a big night too!

We have just over 50% of Kansans vaccinated and many less than that boosted.



Right now Sedgwick county is clocking a 9% 14-day rolling positivity rate. Let's be super generous and say that the IBA attendees will reflect only 25% of that number. In a crowd of 15,000, that would be about 338 folks walking around belching the alien seed into the air.

As the preeminent Covid-19 consultant of this forum, I'm only going to say this: the 7-10,000 that will be in attendance and vulnerable to (re)infection due to diminished immunity, should fully weigh their risk if they have one of the following underlying medical conditions:

• Chronic kidney disease
• COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
• Obesity (BMI of 30 or higher)
• Immunocompromised state (weakened immune system) from solid organ transplant
• Serious heart conditions, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathies
• Sickle cell disease
• Type 2 diabetes

Oh... and be sure and read the disclaimer affixed to every entrance to the arena.



That'll be all!

Please be safe and stay home if you have symptoms or are otherwise feeling unwell.

This toolbag doesn’t even follow the team anymore. He’s been consumed by something else.

How did those super spreader events go in college football games this year where hundreds of thousands packed stands? Where’s the spikes at in these cities?

[TheShocktocles]

They have a couple of transfer guards that are pesky and quick. I thought last year they looked slow and mechanical, not so much now.

They sure do. Any shocker fan that doesn't see that is blind. Selton Miguel and Mike Mcguirl are real athletic and will guard TE without any problem. Weber has consulted with OSU and DRAKE and they know TE disappears in big games. And any talk about Shocks running K-State out of the gym is stupid. When has this team done that in any game this year? When? Talking about not living in reality!!!! Yikes!

Besides do the Shocks have any players that can guard the elite shooters of the K-State team? While we know history shows certain players for the Shocks will give us Clangggg for 3 point shooting and free throws. To win this game the leaders on the team need to show up and play tough defense and rebound. Hope we don't play more turnovers and extra errors. Leadership also requires attitude and smart play. Go Shocks.

[shockersx]

Idgaf, I’m going in with sky high expectations. Regardless of all logic. I want a 40 point win.
