NYC and Japan All-American

There was a section of maybe 100 seats empty at the start and 1 section was tarped of a hundred or so seats, but the non-tarped section filled in by half. Anyone know why the section was tarped? BYU’s version of curtains?

The game last night wasn't sold out. Not sure why he said that. BYU is having problems with Tues night ticket sales. It

That’s only assuming that selling out the arena is your top priority.

I agree with this general economic principle... but... I don't understand why they are asking $60/seat for the top rows

Btw, the announced attendance was literally 17,978 which is a sellout

There were plenty of seats empty. We need a butt in every single seat

Why are you even comparing us to those losers?

“Sellout” means the seats are sold, not that the buyer showed up.

Back in the 70’s I don’t recall seeing empty seats when a sellout was announced

It was sold out. But it was still a good rant.

Sections 139 and 140 were still dark blue on BYU's website less than an hour before tipoff and more than 50 listings on

If seatgeek as the ticket it’s sold. Sellout does not equal full attendance

If it wasn’t sold out it was close. Also, cheapest seats were $40, not $60

Not sure why we belabor this point. Compared to 99% of all other college teams

It's frustrating for me to see seats go unsold when the 11th ranked team in the country is in town. We could have

Apparently everyone is now coming around to this idea. I've been posting since fall that BYU tickets is way overshooting

Pricing is too much

Just bc tickets are sold, doesn’t mean some people aren’t in seats. Few like that but not many.

Just watch the videos. Looks like a sellout to me.

With bench seating, people up top fill in the unsold seats to give themselves more room. I was on BYU's website

It's typical that people on the upper bowl benches spread out to the empty sections during the first 10 min or so of

Sorry... one final comment for this thread. I think BYU ticketing is awesome. They have an impossible job trying to

Wrubell said ti was a sellout but the 17,981 number in attendance....I guess

Adrielle

Think that’s capacity with last seating changes.

Soupie

There were hundreds of tickets available on BYU's website less than an hour before the game.No way it was a real sellout

HarlemCoug

Not true. Huge lines to buy tickets when I arrived— that was more than 30 minute
