Hottest Ticket in Town - NOT

[Shocker85]

I heard that driving home and nearly wrecked into oncoming traffic. It was a mixture of laughter and just sheer dumbfoundness. Shane initially said it could sell out or may sell out and then someone whispered into his ear that it was sold out.

I just don't understand how this concept is so difficult to grasp.

I'm not sure where to lay the blame on the words "sell-out" being used with complete disregard for the facts.

Marshall has spoken them on a national radio show, the WSU media relations have published them, all sorts of media have used them.

It doesn't seem to matter if they are bracketed by "may", "might", "expecting", or even "hoping for" all people hear and run with is "sell-out". God forbid any of the media types would actually verify this from a reliable source or at least use the direct quote.

I am now advocating "really great crowd" be used instead. :)

I'm starting to wonder if today between 2-6:00ish the doors will get blown off. I happen to have bought mine already, but I often procrastinate things until it becomes next on my to do list. I bet there are going to be a lot of people who just got laid today and who just finished up their work week and might not want to be part of the walk up crowd tomorrow.

Also if there are only about 2k left now, that at least puts us in a spot that is second only to the first "premiere" with Tulsa a few years ago. Right? Even 13k ish will feel pretty full. It beats the heck out of 9k last year with huge lower bowl sections empty

I can assure you I'm not getting "laid" today! Ha!

It is just weird that history is repeating itself. The same thing happened with the Tulsa game a few years ago. This time, at least, there seems to be some attempts to correct the mistake, but it is still having an affect. I talked to a couple last night who insisted the game was sold out and I told them to call the Intrust ticket office or go online. They had told me they had been thinking about going but then heard it was sold out. I hope they followed my advice.

Maybe one of the funniest typos on Shockernet ever! That L button and that P button are soooo darn close together.

Guys I'm innocent! Try typing paid on a smartphone. If you miss by a millimeter the auto finish thing will betray you.

Haha TONS of people are going to get laid at work today and then they are going to buy tickets!!!!

I guess we were waiting on the prostitute crowd to show up to buy tickets.


Get laid, get paid, get off work, buy tickets.

In your defense, I'm always in a much better mood after I get laid. So maybe people are more willing to fork over the dough.

That is one seriously unique effort by the WSU marketing folks!

Here’s something I don’t understand. I did a quick on-line search for upcoming Intrust Bank Arena Events and the following came up with no listing for the WSU/Tennessee game? I even changed the dates and couldn’t find it listed. What am I missing?

I don't see what's the big deal. Everybody gets laid on payday.

That is just a ticket broker who doesn't have tickets for the WSU game.

Ticket sales have come to a screeching halt; everyone must be getting laid.
