Buying CBI tickets (Updated!)

[BostonWu]

Back from the ticket office where at 12:30 there were approx. half a dozen people there. Factoring in all the front row tickets Shockernetters are snatching online I’m prepared to be disappointed in the turnout. Hopefully the team is more excited than the fair weather fans.

just selected best available for 2 tickets....

Got 108, row 1a

Anybody know what 1a is oppossed to 1b?

Sounds like folding chairs on the floor.

sweet!

But that may also be behind and on the same level as two rows of press row tables.

1a is the very first row you can be on in the folding chair section.

You will have the press infront of you however you will have good leg space and no fear of hitting anybody infront of you when you jump to cheer.

I myself was trying to grab those same seats but was unable to upgrade to them. those seats in particular in 1a fit my viewing pleasure and I dont mind sitting behind the press.

Only 6,000 sold at this time. I'm kind of surprised...I thought there would be a little bit more of a demand at this point.

I would expect 8,000 - 8,500 attendance for this game. Factors for lowered attendance:

• Corporate no-shows for regular season games become corporate non-buyers for this game. Many of these folks have less money to throw around these days and a short window of opportunity to find takers for comp tickets.
  
  The students are on Spring Break.
  
  This ain't the NCAA tournament.

The good thing is that the fans who attend will be more the "die-hard" types and will all be closer to the floor making noise. Our regular contingent 8-strong will be loud and proud!!

4 tickets behind the shocker bench ...should be a blast....3 hours of driving but well worth it

6k isn't bad.....three more hours left in the day. The same pace gets us to 7500 or so by end of day.


Gotta remember that we've only really had 2 days to sell tickets and no real advertising except direct to those already with tickets.


If we are at 6500-7500 by tonight, with the added on line purchases followed by a blitz tonight in the media, I would expect very brisk sales tomorrow to get us to the 9k mark easily...maybe more.


Let's take care of business Wednesday. Early, late, you know the drill.


Then we can show off on Monday.

[Overtime]

I agree with the 9K estimate...There will be some walk-up. If we get 9000, my guess is that will be 3 times what Stanford gets and that gets us another home game if we win. Anything over 8000 will be a good crowd...I am happy for our players. Ramone gets to say goodbye one more time and the rest will hit the ground running next year

[19SHOCKER76]

Just got back from picking up my "will call" tickets. I picked up an additional (4) seats in 110 row 10. Pretty good seats, wish my season tickets were that good.

Ticket gal told me they had sold about 7000 as of about an hour ago.

[ShockerFever]

Ticket gal told me they had sold about 7000 as of about an hour ago.

That's a good sign if we want to hit 10k.

[Smooth007]

I will be dissapointed if we don't hit 9000. Even so, it could force me to yell louder.

[SubGod22]

I'd expect a few more sales when people get off work. Some may have trouble doing a lunch run. Especially if there were worries about waiting in line.

Wichita is also noted for last minute, walk-up ticket sales. The numbers will rise.

Considering the last reports of 7 to 7.5k I think we're alright.
