Hilltopper Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 I guess its all about tickets distributed? Do these free tickets count towards attendance? Anybody want my 4? Quote

RowdyZip Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Ok, I'll throw mine out there too. We'll be tailgating in the shadow of the scoreboard between a blue honda and a gold suzuki (get it?). Stop by, all four are free if you'll use them. Quote
Z.I.P. Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 So for this game attendance starts with total season tix sold, times 5? It might be a sellout! Quote
Lee Adams Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 rain and snow...temps in the LOW 40's...how many of those intrepid students will show? Quote
bUAkronG Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 rain and snow...temps in the LOW 40's...how many of those intrepid students will show?I will be there. My parents also got 4 GA tickets but I am going to try to use them. Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 rain and snow...temps in the LOW 40's...how many of those intrepid students will show?Oh I'll be there...it's time to PARTY. Quote
GoZips88 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 7 adult + 1 youth here. Let me know if any of you are interested. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 I think the idea behind these tickets is to drag along any family that will be here for the holiday. Quote
MDZip Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 I think the idea behind these tickets is to drag along any family that will be here for the holiday.What if we ARE the family coming in for the holiday? I have four too, I'll see if I can convince any of the siblings and family to come. Quote
infofan Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 For what its worth, if you guys are like me youre having little if any luck in finding anyone to use these extra tickets. Heres an idea- bring them along and have ticket taker scan them all. Its just padding attendance but it will look better on paper to have 12773 there than 2, 419. Heres hoping for better things in the future. someday?? Quote
Zipsrifle Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 I have to say I don't know who came up with this idea, but it is a dumb idea. We have a shiny new stadium and we are already giving away tickets. Maybe we could have tried to advertise??? So far, TW hasn't been impressive with filling the stadium. Wasn't that one of his primary objectives??? Quote
ksu sucks Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 I'm predicting 50 students. max. Who the heck stays on campus over Turkey break? Quote
tpsjugglerdude Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 So far, TW hasn't been impressive with filling the stadium. Wasn't that one of his primary objectives???Show me an AD who would be able to fill a stadium for a team that ONLY has one D-1A win over Cant state and a win over a Morgan State. He is not miracle maker. Quote
bUAkronG Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 I'm predicting 50 students. max. Who the heck stays on campus over Turkey break?probably about 50 students. But it's not like you have to be on campus in order to go to the game. I live an hour away with my parents and I will be there. Quote

I live an hour away with my parents and I will be there.Yeah, that's a good point. I'd totally go but I bought soccer tickets for Sunday instead. I love Akron sports, but that football team kills me.

He is not miracle maker.Though I agree he wouldn't be able to fill the place on Friday, blindly sending out extra tickets 2 days before the game to the season ticket holders barely qualifies as trying, and appears more like desperation, on his part. I don't expect miracles, but I do expect something better than this! Quote
ziptrumpet87 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 9,962Still better than I expected for a 2-9 team on a cold day. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 9,962? I had other responibilities and was unable to attend today's game. What would you say the actual, butts-in-the-seats number was? Quote

What would you say the actual, butts-in-the-seats number was?I was there. Maybe 2,000? Very rough estimate, but definitely not 10K or even 1/3 of that. Quote
