large crowd for sure 17,000 not so sure about that 50/50 is more about tickets sold for 50/50 than people at the game. 10-12K i would say yes.

It has been reported that winner took home $19,000

might have but that does mean there were 17K in the crowd people can buy more than one 50/50 ticket. Not sure what a 50/50 ticket goes far. Anyway great crowd for sure lot of pride and not a lot to do in that part of the state outside of A-ville

50/50 tix are $1 each. Go to WLOS or the Asheville Citizen to get the exact payout and the lady's name in Canton. Good gosh the cynicism is strong here.

Pay the tax man

The pot was close to $39k! Nice night for a fan.

Most people that buy split the pot tickets buy multiple ones normally in five or ten ticket increments.

From school personnel number in attendance close to 13,000. Tickets sold, season / reserved ticket holders, pass admittance spectators.

That's what WLOS said on their 11am recap as well, correcting last nights 1130 high school huddle.

Better not let the state legislature find out. They'll throw a sales tax on top of the income tax she'll have to pay.

Tango you always bring clarity to issues on this board. All i was saying is I know what 17,000 people look like at a public facility stadium because I help design and manage stadiums and that wasn't 17,000. It was 10-12 so i will take 13K for ***** and giggles. Newspapers inflate attendance numbers all the time at the request of the event or just to add a little more pop to the story.

Great crowd and 50/50 stat but not 17k at that game. 10k range

Gambling :/

I was also told closer to 10k than 13k but I would think somewhere in the middle.

I hear ridiculous crazy attendance figures and wonder where did they put them. There are very few high school stadiums in NC where 10,000 can see the game much less have a seat.

Thats really hard to believe any way you figure... 10 thousand people would have to buy 4 tickets each. Some people don't buy any... I dunno bout that. I failed math... lol

East Burke probably comes close to seating that and I have seen 11,000 is early years of the school. Lots of sitting on the horseshoe banks. Place looks like a ghost town now as a 2A school.

Been there to a game. One of the larger bleacher capacities. The EB v Freedom games drew huge crowds.

Students are much less likely to buy. Most people are going $5 or $10 at a dollar per ticket. Bigger the crowd the more people normally buy. Just like the lottery, when it gets to a high number more people jump in.

Indy @ East Burke about 10 years ago had a mess of people there.

http://www.citizen-times.com/pictur...tball-photos-2016-tuscola-vs-pisgah/92126122/You get six ticket for 5 bucks,12 for ten ,26 for 20,40 for twenty five then it keeps going up to 300 ticket for 100 dollars.Yes a lot of people pool them.They take debit and credit cards.They also sell Pisgah hats ,shirts and programs .Understand they got over$ 24,000 this game that goes to the athletic committee.The half and half at most of our home games are over 600..
They have a lot of volunteers selling tickets on both sides.As for how we get that many into the stadium all seats on both sides filled and standing six deep around the field.
The half and half for this one game gets bigger each year we play in Camton.
Probably both teams coming into the game 7-0 a first in the last fifty years had something to do with it.By the way my Bears fell behind 17-0 at half won in overtime 23-20.The lady that won was also a Pisgah fan.Good night for my bears.

True small town football where the school / team is the town.

Pisgah is an electric atmosphere ! As previous poster said standing five to six deep around the fence and stands packed !When we went up there in 06 semis still is / was most electric atmospheres I've been too in a high school game ! Seems like the half and half that night was around 4 to 4500 .... Amazing place to watch a game and I still have got to catch a Tuscola Pisgah game up there ! Just amazing that someone went home with nearly 20 thousand dollars ! Just amazing
