No one posted this ?? 50,000 tickets ??
- Thread starter nutfromSEC117
- Start date
our ticket office is always suckers with this…the sellouts they announced the last two years were laughable..
upper deck won’t be full

They probably gave about 10,000 away.
This is probably correct.
The stadium hasn’t reached 70% capacity in years. There are no sellouts. There’s giveaways and lots of no shows (including the students)
Biggest BS going. Ticket office is in a dream world. Take pictures of the upper deck tomorrow and then ask about a sell-out.
They need to stop saying this. Its embarrassing. Throwing tickets out of a helicopter doesn't make it a sellout.
lol....they gave away 2 tix to every season ticket holder if they wanted

We very rarely fire the cannon. Waste of space. It’s gotten so bad they should fire it when we get first downs. Or instead, let’s put a mini-circus in that corner with pygmy hippos, a guy on stilts riding a unicycle, the lady who spins plates at the basketball games and Fieldhouse Al thumb wrestling against himself. We’d get twice the turnout that we usually do because those activities are more far more interesting than Schiano offense.
Agree the inflated “sellout” the last 2 years by the ticket office is embarrassing. 55,000 for PSU game last year was attendance record?? LOL but so sad that tarnishes the ACTUAL attendance record of 53,515 for PSU 2014 when there was actually that many people in the building. So dumb
Everyone knows the Sellout announcements are complete BS
Rutgers dumps thousands of tickets to 3rd Party Ticket Seller websites. They now consider these tickets “sold” when they actually are not. And this does not even take into account tickets donated to organizations, staff, youth programs, etc. which are not even used.
I think a actual crowd of 30,000 would be very respectable for a Sunday on Labor Day weekend.

This. I think there will be between 30K and 35K actual butts in the seats.
The season hasn't started and Rutgers fans already acting miserable. Classic.
Not miserable, just stating facts. Blocks of tickets being given away, not being "sold". Is that a sellout?
Tickets sold != game attendance
You can sell all the available tickets, but not have the stadium full

I can get two tickets in 207 ( 50-yard line) row 3 for $26 apiece on SH. That's just one of dozens of sections with seats available. How is that a sellout ?
SH is a reseller. The point is you can’t get tickets from RU.
I doubt there will be 20,000 fans in the stadium 15 minutes prior to the start of the game.Fans have a long history of entering the stadium late and leaving early.Winning games might be the only way to change the status quo.
And for those of us who are in the stadium for special teams and the full warmup.
We obsess over the stadium being empty, the players running out of the tunnel for opening kickoff with the place half empty, and keep getting up to check the entrance gates to see where the F’k everyone is.
Invariably, we are all fairly pleased with the final attendance by the end of the 1st quarter
And always will…. Louisville 2006 being the first exception, the atmosphere prior to the alma mater and opening kickoff was so electric it made me openly weep with emotion.
UNC, Cincinnati and even Fresno State were close in terms of bodies in the seats prior to kickoff, but obviously all 3 were huge disappointments
Funny. When people post pictures of BC or UConn with an empty stadium at kick off I’ve never seen anyone respond “Ya but what’s the tickets sold and announced game attendence! Can’t mock them based on actual people at the game.”
I’ll have to pay closer attention next time.
05-09 the stadium was usually full or very close to it by kickoff. Within a few minutes after KO - pretty much everyone had made it to their seats. Would be nice to see that again
I'm not even leaving home for another 15 minutes lol. The game is at noon and most people won't be in their seats until midway through the first quarter
They offered every teacher, admin, and student in Bound Brook up to 6 tickets for free. This won't be close to a sellout.
Crowd is great. Much closer to a sellout than I would have thought.
I think that's safe to say. But given how bad the team has been for years I'd say we get decent turnouts, at least early in the season. Other programs get complete desolation.
F those wannabe CFB clowns.
Our concern is Rutgers and our fans filling the stadium. Let’s do it.
Lower bowl is pretty filled up. Upper is less than half. But better than I was expecting. And pretty much all Rutgers fans… pitiful showing of NW fans
Looks strong on tv. Students look great as expected
Everyone was late arriving to lots but filled up and then attendence is oretty decent now. Bac approves!
It's an away game after all, for a team in disarray.
