unrealistic and outdated. Complaints from fans that don't travel out of Utah to BYU games or any other major sports events are extremely hard to sympathize with, frankly.

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

Sure, but think of the frog in the boiling water analogy

The reseating did not help either.

Should have started raising prices earlier? Would that have helped?

We are in the middle of crazy inflation. There was always going to be more fans

Current inflation is pretty low, so not in the middle of it, but dealing with results of it

Actually what Employers are paying for hourly wages is pretty low

No, that's just what the state-run media & our dishonest gov't are telling us

The first game was quite literally over-capacity… Carry on.

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

HarlemCoug

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

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

The Y's Insider

$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

Start time bigger factor, probably

Not every fan lives in Provo. I'm sympathetic about late start times the older

Especially if you have church meetings at 6AM.

Church meetings. Can be missed once in a while.

I mean there are only a 1000 tickets remaining...

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.

Out, though?

I think the answer is both. I think they will get both tonight

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

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

I do that a lot.

Only about 1k unsold as of now, they'll be gone by game time. That's in spite of

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