Toledo Game
I was able to purchase 4 tickets, 5th row, on the 50 yard line for our opener against Toledo. It looks like every seat in the section was still available. I hope ticket sales pick up or we are in for an embarrassing turn out for national TV.
UC needs to be able to sell football tickets or they don't have a prayer to get into another conference... |

Football attendance this year will be weak with games at PBS and a soft schedule. Upgraded Nippert will bring a huge increase next season and if the team is successful they should be able to hang on to strong attendance numbers. The best thing UC can do at this point is retain their coaches and remain competitive in the major sports. Whether or not we sell tickets to football or basketball games has no bearing on a future invite. |

Selling football tickets is a revenue stream in which coaches/administrators are judged. It is hard for a coach or athletic department to ask for money or sell a program to an athlete when your games are empty. An empty PBS for a home opener on Friday night looks bad for UC's brand. Money/Money/Money is what is important and ticket sales happens to fall into the money category.

If the team can get hot and get in the rankings, people will make their way down there, no matter the opponent.

Another reason why the first poster might have seen a lot of seats open on the 50 yard line is because us season ticket holders get screwed when UC moves to PBS. At Nippert my tix are at the 45 yard line about 20 rows up but at PBS I'm sure I'll be suck in some corner in the middle level. They want to keep the premium seats available to the general public to purchase so they can try to actually turn a profit while playing games down there. |

I did purchase my individual game tickets on the 50 yard line. The corners weren't available and neither were the top... As of a couple of days ago just about every seat in the middle lower level were available. So there are great seats available. Hopefully fans see this as an opportunity to watch the games in great seats, great stadium, and at pretty good prices.
