HOW CLOSE IS THIS GAME TO A SELLOUT ...COMMON

I see two other threads covering this issue. I can see at least three explanations for why it has not sold out.

1. A culture of losing. The Cowboys have been bad for The better part of the last 10 years. It's hard to invest emotionally and financially to a program when that is the case. It will take consistent winning to see sell outs in games like this.

2. Speaking of financial challenges. It's no mystery that this last year has been brutal to the Wyoming economy. Gas, oil, coal practically every arm of our economy has been pinched and that means people do not have as much expendable income that previous years have brought. It is a big sacrifice to travel from three corners of Wyoming to go to games.

3. Television is hurting attendance all over the country. Money comes from tv but greater access to games means more people can watch on television.

I keep hoping that locals will turn out in droves but it's likely going to be 22-23 thousand people at the game which is still reasonable for where we are as a program

according to Burman last night needed about 4500 walkup and sales yet to go so almost 30000 to sell it out, my guess is it'll be around 27,000
 
I also think it will be near 27K, I am predicting more people in the student area than AFA with the parents for parents weekend, more students, and their friends etc
 
I think it is also band day. I doubt the people in all those high school bands aren't accounted for on the ticket site. Just a guess.

28,000 is my guess. Most sections are almost sold out.

AFA finished at 27 K. Right now, this game is trailing the AFA game by about 3-4 K empty seats. Unless there's a huge walk-up, we're looking at attendance around 23-24 K.

No I just counted the tickets remaining and I estimate about 3,700 remain. Crowd will be ~27k

Well, then you counted wrong. Almost every section was sold out for AFA, with the exception of the corners. It was like that by Thursday. I just played this game two weeks ago and my prediction was exactly right. Here's my estimate the morning of the AFA game. It's almost exactly right.....

"It looks like we're at about 27,000 depending on the walk up. We'll see if the AFA brings more than the people that pre-purchased tickets. It doesn't look like it will sell-out, but it will be damn close."

I'm not making that up. Almost the entire stadium was sold out for AFA, and according to the interactive ticket map RIGHT NOW, there are about 4 K more empty seats than there were for AFA.

That's the same thing Burman and McKinney said on the Sports Zone this week. We're not going to sell out and unless there's a huge walk up, we're going to trail the AFA game attendance by about 4 K.

I don't know....somone above posted that we need to sale 4,500. That is today and tomorrow. People might be waiting to see what the forecast is. And, the bands usually fill up an entire section. They will probably be given what is left.

Most of the upper east side is sold out. Aside from the corners...only a row or two remain in each section.

Sticking with 28K.

The bands are sitting in the Southwest upper corner, and that sectioned has been greyed out all week.

No, I did not miscount. 3,700 is a conservative estimate of tickets left. On the upper east side there's about 1,000 tickets left if that helps you develop as estimate. Not sure where you're getting that 4k number.

Then you're not accounting for the smaller capacity of the War when you made your new estimate. The War only seats 29K now. The AFA game had a little less than 27 K. Almost the entire stadium was greyed out the day before kick-off.

You're f'ing something up with your count. I predicted the AFA game almost exactly right, and I'm telling you that there are 4 K more seats available for this game than there we're for AFA, the same thing McKinney and Burman said in radio interviews this week, and the same thing the interactive map shows right now.

Ha ha. OK. Agree to disagree. I paid close attention to the interactive map AFA week, too. Burman said we'd need 4k walk up to sell out. OK. If we get our usual 1.5k (maybe a little better this week) walk-up that puts us at right at upper 26k, almost 27k.
 
None of this accounts for student section, which that section can more than make up for where sales lack. I expect that area to more crowded than the AFA game
