What Type of Attendance Should We Expect For Opener Against Southern Miss?
- Thread starter shadowman4
- Start date
I just heard the talking heads on College Football Live say the tickets for the LSU and Bama games are going for $1000. AnyUK fan that would rather see one of those games than UK's young talent in the first game against a legit opponent isn't much of a fan, IMO.
About a $975 discount for this game vs theirs.

If it's not a sellout, it's UK fault if they have empty seats. They should give away all remaining seats to HS football players. If you want Kentucky kids to come to UK then give these kids free tickets. Every home game that is not a sell out should have HS teams from all over the state. During Curcis time at UK, hit hey did this kind of thing all the time
Don't you worry, my brother, the house will be PACKED!!! This Saturday, Commonwealth Stadium will be rocking with an absolutely INSANE crowd ready to watch the CATS roll to an EPIC 47-43 victory. It's going to be an UNBELIEVABLE start to the season.
Probably accurate, though I think the increased fans will be mainly new since those lost will have half died off. People today just don't have patience for the time it takes to rebuild a totally destroyed program. We can wish it otherwise & complain, but this is way it is. I doubt Bama could draw more than around 60-70K after six years of 25-48. It's really been awful. Only good thing is things are looking up - at least imo.
Not to get into an argument but this isn't some recent phenomena. They had the he-shes and she-hes in ancient Rome/Greece too.
As of today ( Wednesday ), UK has sold 49,000 tickets. With the great weather, a large walk up, and some freebies given out, expect 56,000 plus !
There are seats available at Lambeau for the LSU game for under $100 on Ticketmaster. Hundreds unsold.
7000 walk-ups would be pretty-much unheard of. This is troubling - UK fans may have finally reached their tipping point.
This isn't on you chesterfield.... But why would the ticket office distribute them on campus if you wanted people to attend?... I'd sure as hell rethink that marketing fiasco.....
That # is pretty embarrassing and Southern Miss is a decent opponent. Can only go up from here though. Cats need to demolish Southern Miss and put in a good showing against UF. Win that game, and some fans will start to come back into the fold. Lose badly to UF and N Mexico St game will be a ghost town.
If people think making a bowl game is not imperative this year then they are crazy. The fan base is already showing signs of apathy which is the most dangerous thing for a program.
It doesn't surprise me 13,000 tickets are left. Put a product on the field and fans will come. UK fans are tired of ****** football year after year. Having said that, I bet 3 or 4 thousand more will be sold by kickoff.
The only way I'll miss it is if DISH network's satellite falls out of the sky.
