Do these things always sell out this quickly?

With less seats in the Fiserv, I’d imagine it happened quicker than in the past. I assume it was pretty quick last year.

Still seems like it went really quick.

I just saw this right now. Wow, that was fast. That was not the case last year. As the push went into October. Last season, MU sold 3,100 student season tickets for 2,900 seats.

So, the answer I got is that they can sell-out the section now. So, it sold out last year. Sending the message of demand to the students. Plus doing early renewal in spring and freshman orientations

Let’s hope they show up now.

Let’s hope they show up now.

+1000....it's one thing to puff your chest out about selling all the student tickets that quickly, and brag to your friends how you have season tickets. But now you need to show up...every game.

Glad to see that there's still good enthusiasm with the student fans. Not sure of it will be the same for the others (and I'll cop to being partially guilty of that), as this is a very pivotal year for the program.

August hasn't even turned to September and people are already bitching about the students.

When you look at the school size, that is a pretty darn good percentage of students that bought tickets.

Here is the problem with numbers some don't understand. The student section has almost 3,000 seats all in the lower bowl. Many schools don't have student section that big. For example, the Kohl Center student section seats 2,100 over three decks. So, if MU's section is only half full we are still talking 1,500 students at the game. If that happens during the school week, that is really a good turnout. Yet, people don't understand the numbers and thinks it sucks.

Good points Panther. In my opinion, here is when the students should be there in force...

1) First two games of the year, regardless of opponents.

2) Weekend games, regardless of the opponent.

3) Big East games or big non-con games, regardless of date.

So looking at this season... They can no-show at St. Norbert's, Jacksonville & Grambling, all others should be a strong showing.

One thing MU had going in the Conf. USA days was that the big TV game during the week landed on a Thursday. Most students don't sign up for many classes on Friday's. Which made a big student turnout on a Thursday night.
