I don't think you can project walk-up traffic based solely on the trend. Get to 13400 tonight and sell 1100 walk-up seems very doable. Agree a sell out is looking improbable.

The afternoon rush sales were too slow. I was really hoping they would sell between 500 to 1000 tickets from 2 to 6 pm. Didn't happen. A sell out is looking highly unlikely.

Its still going to be a raucous place tomorrow. 14,000 people that paid good money to be there and not because they worked for someone who bought a bunch of season tickets. The crowds have always been enthusiastic and with 4,000 more the atmosphere should be great. I know the Moose and his buds will partake of some adult beverages which will only cause them to embrace loud and somewhat obnoxious behavior. National TV and an opponent from a power conference 14,000 rabid fans......priceless.

Agreed. These are 14,000 people that WANT to be there. They aren't season ticket holders who *had* to go. These people all picked out their own seats. That's what's nice about this situation at least. No unncessary bitching. I really hoped for a sellout, but it is what it is. eeeeeev

Kinda sad that this thread and all of its countdown glory will be a distant memory in about 12 hours.

At dinner tonight, we ran into some people who thought the game as sold out and then when we were in line to pay, I talked to a season ticket holder who isn't going because he is mad that the game wasn't included in his season ticket package. He said he really doesn't like Intrust but would have gone if the tickets had been included in the season ticket package. But he said there was no way he was going to pay an extra $100 to watch a game in that dump (his words, not mine).

Between the people that think it is sold out and those people that don't like Intrust(or grumpy season ticket holders) it is amazing there will be 14,000 people there.

Glad that guy won't be there. Sounds like a real kill joy.

It is a long shot , but it is still not out of the realm of possibility that the game sells out. Highly unlikely though. 14,000 is starting to look like the realistic number. I hope the weather is decent tomorrow morning and there is a very strong walk-up crowd. It would only cost about $19,000 to buy all of the remaining tickets (they are all $12 tickets). Maybe some rich person still steps up at makes it a sell out.

There are also just 11 tickets left on Stub Hub starting at $65! It looks like the sold out rumors may have helped the Stub Hub Sales. (The Gonzaga game still has 460 tickets listed on Stub Hub starting at just $7! -LOL)

I don't understand how somebody would refuse to watch a Shockers game in Wichita because they don't like IBA. Id watch them play in the worst elementary school gym if that's where they lace them up.

With Ron possibly missing, I hope the crowd realizes it can be the MVP and help bring his energy to the team. I'd love to see it sell out.

It isn't about the venue itself it is about paying extra outside the season ticket package for an extra home game. It smacks of greed and rubs some people the wrong way. I understand that. If they don't want to go that's ok - they're just giving someone who really does want to go the chance of getting a better seat.

It's sad that some people can't put aside petty "perceived" problems with the athletic department to support the team and players.
