With the fight the guys have put into this year to turn it around and be playing like they are they deserve to have a sold out game to end the year and to possibly win the Valley! What needs to happen? I don’t see any posts on Facebook or emails going out about tickets. I know there is enough left that they need to be pushing it! Use sidewalk chalk and advertise on the sidewalks around campus so students know and get the word out, sad I know but they need to go all in on this one!

On that point, I bought a single ticket that I am not going to use because I am bringing a group now. I am willing to give it away to anyone who wants it.
Seating: Level Section Row Seat(s) ----- ------- ----- ---------- 100 114 G 25
Message me if you want it and I will email you the PDF. -
I have gone to every home game this year, but one and I would guess a lot of season ticket holders need to come to the games or give away their tickets.

They have had a few posts via the UNI Men's Basketball Facebook page about this game so far. I did see one post, which I assume they'll hit hard again, where they're giving away free t-shirts, early admission, priority seating (whatever that means?), and a coupon for free pizza, popcorn, and soda, all for students. Get this everywhere though! The student section at the MSU game sounded the best it has a long time.Originally posted by rhoho View PostComment

I'm not gonna count the individual seats available on the website but in my opinion, it looks about what it looked like on Saturday morning before the MSU game. It should be close to a sellout by Saturday.
At the very least, it'll be a better crowd than the MSU game and the MSU crowd was pretty good.
Unless you're looking at the raw attendance total from the box score, but take those numbers with a grain of salt. We haven't mastered counting yet in the UNI athletic department.Yeah, a D+ effort out of me on the day I created the name for this account. I didn't think I would use this account more than once.Comment

I'd imagine there are some people waiting for them to get through Wednesday before buying tickets. I agree though, I've been following the ticket site and would expect a sellout assuming they win tomorrow.Originally posted by not a drake fan View PostComment

I just looked, there are approximately 400 seatback tickets still up for grabs and who knows how many GA tickets.Comment

Hope I'm wrong but I think expecting a sellout when we've had 2 crowds over 4,000 this year is a stretch. And honestly if people are waiting on results before purchasing then performance is more of a determining factor than price for this game, therefore we are just cannibalizing our own profits selling $5 tickets. Then again not sure I trust a department that sent me an email today in it with no link for tickets or mention of deals whatsoever. It's real frustrating.Originally posted by Wxcpanther View PostComment

I don't trust the attendance numbers at all. Crowds that we used to announce at 4500 show up at 2300. The Iowa State wrestling meet was packed and they announced 4600. The Drake game sold out and they announced 4600.Originally posted by UNI MadCat View Post

Sunday was easily 4500-5k and they announced 3300Comment

I’m going up to my first in person game this weekend. I’m stoked. I don’t know if it will sell out, but it’s going to draw a crowd. There are a lot of different reasons to want to be there for this game, especially if the league title and number 1 seed is on the line. But beyond that, it’s the last game of the year, last time we will play Loyola probably for awhile, last home game for the seniors and maybe for AJ (?). I hope the crowd is loud and energetic because that building can be imposing and hard to win in when it’s loud. The UNI crowds are too polite and not loud enough. I hope they make it a tough place to play Saturday. Send them out of the Valley with a loss and second place.Comment

Can somebody in the AD answer to this? I simply do not accept these numbers. 3300, you have got me be ****ting me, what a joke.Originally posted by Wxcpanther View Post
3,300 would mean that literally HALF of the arena is empty and ANYBODY that was there Sunday can attest that was not the case.
Just stunning incompetence.UNI FIGHT

I was wondering the same thing. There has to be a reason they're doing this (unless they truly are just that stupid that we somehow can't keep an accurate attendance count), but I don't know you you'd be intentionally reporting lower attendance numbers.Originally posted by 06panther10 View PostComment

I truly believe they're just simply that incompetent. You can't constantly hire the youngest and cheapest people you can find and expect things to be run well. It starts at the top and when the head guy is so glaringly incompetent, it filters down.
The Drake game and the Iowa State wrestling meet were obvious sell outs and they announced 4600 for each of those. There's no one to ask questions so it'll just continue to be awful. I'd love somebody to FOIA those records.Comment

I just don’t get the end game of misreporting attendance numbers. How in any world can it be helpful? Fundraising? Arena advertising?
is it possible they are simply not counting student attendance?Comment
