95 big ones are the reason that 4000 tickets remain.
The opposite actually- This game is huge locally. The ticket price is keeping people away.Their fans apparently aren't too jazzed about PSU coming to town. Should be good for our guys.
Actually under 2000 now.
Credit where it is due.We will sell out the bigger games on our schedule
College ticket prices are getting out of control everywhere unfortunately.

So there were only 3,500. Thanks for the clarification.500 of those were sent back by PSU
wear whiteBought a couple --- just made the decision to go. Going to be a long Friday evening/Saturday AM drive from Eastern Iowa from Colorado.

I'm surprised it was only 500 given that PSU has no real alumni presence in Iowa or adjacent states (IIRC).

Well, 500 out of how many?

Actually, I think Chicago has a fairly sizable alumni presence, and it's about a 3?4? hour drive to Iowa City?I'm surprised it was only 500 given that PSU has no real alumni presence in Iowa or adjacent states (IIRC).
When you can sell out playing Buttgers, that's when I'll be impressed.We will sell out the bigger games on our schedule
I've been kicking around going as well. It's a tough drive but doable. It takes about 11 hours from the Front Range to Iowa City.Bought a couple --- just made the decision to go. Going to be a long Friday evening/Saturday AM drive from Eastern Iowa from Colorado.
What - you play Pitt also?We will sell out the bigger games on our schedule
There is only 5,583 alumni in all of Illinois and 777 total in Iowa. That not a ton when you are trying to sell 3,000 tickets.Actually, I think Chicago has a fairly sizable alumni presence, and it's about a 3?4? hour drive to Iowa City?
Maybe the game being at night and not wanting to drive back the same day might have something to do with it. Just hazarding a guess.
DesMoines Register story said $95 ticket price for Penn State was too much for the local market to bear. School official said they misjudged the demand.
Well then lower the price...put it on a groupon. Idiots
“I just can’t see people who piss away $95 sitting in a bar for a couple of hours say they don’t want to spend that much to actually go to a game.”

Right on target. Ticket prices (plus travel, parking fees, stadium concessions, etc. not to mention lodging) are generating a fan backlash .....and business opportunitiesI don't know the deal with Iowa but lack of physical attendance is becoming an issue nationwide. Is it that 55" HD TV's are so cheap? Maybe.
In CLE, if you go to a Cavs or Indians game, the ticket price is just the start. First, you typically need two or more so $100 becomes $200 or more. Then you have parking between $20 and $40.
Dinner? Hot dogs? Peanuts? Soft Drink?
For four people, with dinner and some snacks, you are easily over $500 and probably closer to $650. ($400 for tickets, $120 for dinner for 4, $30 for parking, $20/person for "stuff" is $80. Upsize dinner, drive separately, baby sitters and you can easily go over...don't get me started on hotel rooms).
I was a season ticket holder for the Cavs until I realized I can ski all weekend at a decent local resort for the weekend with what I am paying to see the Cavs.
Wrong, approximately 1/10th of one acre would produce the funds necessary. That represents approx. .0065% of a reasonable sized farmer's production. That significant to you?You gotta sell an awful lot of corn to make $100.
