BYU is ranked, undefeated, coming off an 11-1 year, hosting a ranked opponent, and still can't sell out?

This rating costs $0.20/day

Maybe we should've bought tix for fans instead of donating to Todd Noall

I am not sure fans are convinced quite yet that this will be a special season. One more win and the talk will build.

BYU decided they would rather maximize revenue than sell out. Drop prices and it

$55 against a P5 opponent is about as cheap as it gets anywhere.

Which is why almost every team can’t sell out.

That's not expensive. After removing student seats, putting 50k butts in seats for a ranked vs ranked game should not be

Says the Dentist who loves BYU football. For a sellout you need casual fans to have a reason to come. $20 a ticket

For those games, all are being played in stadiums 15k seats or more bigger than LES. There is less demand. Games aren't

I know you have other arguments in there but LES is bigger than ASU & U of A's

The goal isn't to sell out. It's to maximize ticket sales revenue.

This is what you want. If you sell out early, then the secondary market eats up

Even if the game does sell out - will the students show up like last week?

For big games, it's very rare that the student section doesn't fill up
