I know quite a few BYU fans staying home because of the cost of tickets, but I have no problem with them.

I don’t get this. We all wanted the B12 and knew prices were going to be high. C

Tickets are on sale for $37 including fees on Seatgeek. These fans you know are staying home because $37 is too much?

Apparently. Only going off of what I have been told.

To answer the question in your OP, they'll take revenue over a sellout. It boggles my mind that BYU fans genuinely want

It's also a reflection that ticket prices have likely been too low for a while.

If they were $37 several weeks ago, it would’ve sold out.

$37 for bad seats. Several hundred for a good seat.

Are they really that expensive though? You can get tickets for about what a meal

Yeah, I'll be dropping my so off in Clinton after the game, then driving back

Sounds like they should stop eating avocado toast and stop door dashing

RealTaysomHill

I don't know of many where that's a major factor. I actually find it pretty funny when I see people complain

Sone people just have to eat.

BYU trying to find sweet spot. Maximize revenue and sellouts. On game day …

Still the best entertainment value around. Look around you

Good for you. I wasn't complaining. I was stating a fact and asking what everyone thought BYU would do.

It’ll probably be sold out by game time. If not it’s essentially a sellout. Less than 1000 tickets left morning of the
