I'm pretty sure you have already broken or come close to the record for MSU while including a presumed student season ticket number of 10,000. I would be surprised if you actually sold 10,000 student tickets honestly. The Ole Miss number by comparison is only inflated by 7,500 in presumed student ticket sales which is more realistic.
I'm pretty sure the ticket office said the most we could ever sell is 47,000. Regardless, that's basically the same thing. If we had a 60,000 seat stadium and were ranked in the top ten, I believe we would have sold more than that already, IMHO.

Wrong. We've sold 10,000 student tickets the last few years at least. This year, it will probably be more like 11,000. Sorry, we're the first largest school in the state, not the third.
if they would otherwise be sold at full price.
If you are going to say anything inflates the number, it's mini packs. Those probably shouldn't count as season tickets. But we counted them when we sold them too.
But three games for $75 counting for season tickets? And it includes Ga Tech and Florida? WTF? That's giving them away.

Mississippi State hit an another fall enrollment record and moved closer to breaking the 18,000-student threshold than ever before.
Enrollment features reased by the state Institutions of Higher Learning late Tuesday show MSU's fall semester enrollment at 17,824 students.
"The strength of our academic programs, innovative leadership opportunities for students and new on-campus residential experiences are creating an unparalleled interest in what Mississippi State offers," said MSU Interim President Vance H. Watson in a statement Wednesday.
"This is an exciting time in the life of the university, and we're committed to providing the best educational experience possible for each student who chooses to become a part of our MSU family."
This fall's enrollment constituted a 4.6 percent increase over the university's 2007 fall semester enrollment and includes 782 students at its Meridian campus. The new freshman class also hit an enrollment record with 2,489 students, an increase of 9 percent from 2007.
MSU surpassed the 17,000 mark in enrollment for the first time with the fall 2007 semester.
Among MSU's colleges and schools, the College of Arts and Sciences boasts the largest enrollment with more than 4,000 students. The colleges of education, business and engineering rank second, third and fourth, respectively, in enrollment.
MSU statistics show that retention of freshman students for their sophomore year hit another all-time high with a rate of 84.5 percent, up from last year's level of 83.4 percent.
"We're very proud that our student retention also continues to increase and that our faculty members are committed to helping students achieve academic success and stay in school,* Watson said.
MSU retained its status as the state's largest university, IHL enrollment figures show.
Ranking second behind MSU was the University of Mississippi, which boasted a combined enrollment of 17,601 students between the university itself and its medical school in Jackson.
The University of Southern Mississippi was third with a total enrollment of 14,801 students.
MSU boasted the greatest enrollment growth, with Ole Miss and USM following with overall growth of 1.6 and 1.4 percent, respectively.
The state's other five universities - Alcorn State, Delta State, Jackson State, Mississippi Valley State and Mississippi University for Women - all saw decreases in enrollment ranging from .6 percent (MUW) to 12.8 percent (ASU).
Despite the enrollment drops at those five universities, the growth at MSU, Ole Miss and USM were enough for IHL to report a net enrollment growth of .5 percent systemwide.
A total of 71,161 students are enrolled at Mississippi universities, an increase from last year's total of 70,769.
The enrollment figures are unduplicated and count students one time regardless of their campus enrollment, IHL officials say.
"For 14 consecutive years, enrollment in Mississippi's public universities has increased. This continued growth in the number of individuals seeking a university education is vital to our state and is the cornerstone of the Board's goal to increase the number of baccalaureate degrees holders of even higher quality," said Tom Meredith in a statement late Tuesday. </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="modifydate" align="left">Last Updated ( Saturday, 20 September 2008 )</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

We sold 10,000 last year. With the estimated sellout of student tickets, that leaves us with 45k. You stadium holds 60 and with the 7.5k student sells that leaves you at a possible 52.5k. We could sell out easily if we were ranked in the top 15.babbleBrebel said:
Not at the current size unless we cut down on the visitor allotment for some SEC schools.
The latest numbers I have heard was the most season tickets we could absolutely sell this season was 42-43k , including a limit of 11k students.
I dont know the specifics of the other 12k, but a good bit of that is SEC visitors alotment.

I don't think they should count, but everyone counts them. At most they should count for a half a season ticket, because that's what they really are.
But everyone counts them as season tickets.

......the fan base that MSU football might have a chance for success year after year. This year the "Spread the Fun" gimmick is working, but it'll die off unless we actually win some games in the next couple of seasons. So, we'll likely have to find something fresh after that. Hopefully our "the schedule is way too tough" and "we lack depth and experience" excuses will hold out long enough until we find the next gimmick. I guess that's where the Ninja comes in. So yeah, maybe we could reach that high a season ticket sales number in the future.
Of course I'm looking at this purely from a business standpoint. I would never personally waste my own money on tickets until it's worth spending. For now, the Bulldog Club will have to do.

I know what you're saying, but as weird as it seems considering they're a top 15 team, you could make a case that Georgia Tech is the least appealing home game.Optimus Prime 4 said:
