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?

I don't know. Maybe some people were simply priced out?

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?

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.

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

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

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

I live in Pocatello. I debated driving down but it was too late.

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 …

Still the best entertainment value around. Look around you

Possibly the most expensive entertainment of all.

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
