We don’t have a raucous fan base. It’s almost as if being a fanatic is below our fan base.
And I agree with you about demand steadily declining. I would have kept my football tickets when we moved from Oklahoma had I thought I could even come close to breaking even. But in the last few years I had those tickets, if I couldn’t make a game I had to give them away.
Same. Football ticket demand isn't as big as it's made out to be, sellout streak, SEC, or not.
One of us got sick for the South Carolina game, and I couldn't make it. Listed the tickets on SeatGeek on Friday. Ended up getting like $10 a seat, and we have seatback, elevator pass, 2nd row upperdeck 25 yard line. Not suites or 50 yd line seats, but certainly thought I would get more than $40 for four.
So that's what happens in basketball, too. Boulder has pointed it out. Yes, we had a decline in ticket sales revenue. But the real problem- not just during the PM era- is to get butts in the seats consistently. I live in Tulsa, and if I can't make a weeknight game, it's impossible to unload our seats for basketball. And unfortunately, there are too many season ticket holders' seats that often go unfilled, even during "big" games. And I feel the admin doesn't do much to help or promote games, although better this year.
Look at baseball, too. Outside of softball right now, our fanbase is not as diehard as most SEC schools. Football, we're close, but for the other "major"sports, we are lacking big-time, and it's not only because of Porter Moser.
