From the good word

"Despite recent headlines to the contrary in our local newspaper, our season ticket sales have been encouraging. We have now surpassed the number of season tickets sold last year and the number continues to grow as we approach the opener. This is very positive in our current tough economy and in a year in which we have neither Georgia nor Clemson on our home schedule."

Looks like someone is unhappy with the AUC. :laugher:
 
That is nice to see... Give it three years and we will be close to sell outs for most of our games.

Winning fixes everything.
 
I remember reading that a couple of days ago. Got a good chuckle out of it. The AJC likely isn't paying attention. They have their hands full with this week-long seminar on how to Know Your Dawgs.

We've covered this before. Winning helps to sellout when you're trying to go from 90% to 100% in physical attendance.

The people that think we're suddenly going to go from averaging 75% attendance to 100% even if we go 13-0 are insane. We might go from 75% to 90%.

I'll use two examples. USC cannot sell out its stadium despite having not finished outside the top 4 in the BCS since 2001. In 1991 after GT won its NC, we still could not sell out BDS and it had 10,000 fewer seats.

That's so they can more easily pick them out of a police lineup
 
Sellout is selling all tickets, so we will sell out if it's 100% regardless of physical attendance.

GTkyle, you need to average maybe 10 seconds of thinking before posting, rather than zero.

Agreed. Selling out is selling out. So folks simply can't make every game because we're a very spread alum base.
 
Sellouts don't mean anything. What really matters is how many butts you put in the seats which is something we are terrible at. Our season tickets are so cheap that on seasons when GT hosts UGA, uga fans buy a whole season ticket just for that one game and throw the rest of them away... I don't care about sales I want to see the stadium full of people wearing gold...
 
Last years basketball season was soldout as well. Most games were dreadfully thin, or filled with opposing fans.

GtKyle if you would have read my post I said we would come near to selling out... so try to get your facts straight instead of just posting without thinking.
 
I partially blame the GTAA for the Tucker article blasting our sales figures. Tucker writes the exact same article the exact same time every stinking year about our season ticket sales.

At some point, someone down there might see the pattern and proactively go over the sales figures with him so he can get it right the first time.

The GTAA cannot wait for the AJC to come asking - it should go telling before the question comes up.

Sellouts is what rings the register. Yes we want more people in attendance, but we need th cash first.
 
There is an undeniable correlation between selling tickets and attendance. With one comes the other. I can't believe we're even having this argument.

So what you're saying is if we sell more tickets, more people show up?

That's an idea just crazy enough to work.
 
Not only that, I'm saying that if more people show up, they'll have to buy tickets.



I'm a genius. I should be AD.
