Would you want to spend money to watch 15+ sure fire interceptions?

I'm going, but worried 3 ints will lose us the game. No accountability expected.

There are a bit more than 1k left to sell (of the 62,000). Anything that doesn't sell will go to students...so all

Exactly this. I mentioned in previous posts that season tickets were important this year. Considering that nearly

That’s confirmed they give the unsold tickets to students??

Corky Ramirez

It's what they did last game. The game didn't quite sell out to the public

Not really. It isn't cheap to attend anymore. Most people don't want to spend

The start time excuses and price excuses are funny to me..

How many tickets did you buy? What's the size of your group?

I paid $1500 for my season tickets this year. And have done the same

I live on the east coast and spend well over $1,500 each season traveling to BYU games. I'll be in Waco next week,

Good, I’m glad you are one who can and does support the team. My frustrations

I don’t like getting home at 2 am and having to take days to feel back to normal

Not an excuse. I’m less likely to take my younger kids and spend 250+ for a game

There is really not a noticeable difference between 62 and 63k

Wait another day and it will sell out

puntersarepeople

If we don't sell out, BYU would be silly not to

There are probably 10's of thousands of BYU fans who, if they lived nearby, wouldn't miss this game for the world. Fans
