Post how many season ticket sales your school posts. I'd assume these 3 below are around the top. Appy St; Georgia Southern, Delaware, and McNeese would be up there as well.

I know of the following:
Montana: About 19,000-20,000 per game
Youngstown St: 7,000 per game.
North Dakota St: 6,500 per game.

Season tickets down here are sold per season, not per game. The numbers you show are per game.

Define your question and I could give you numbers for GSU.

I don't know how many we have sold in the new stadium. But from the rumblings I have heard around campus, almost all the seats that were put up for season ticket sales are gone.

Last I heard, I believe Montana had around 18,800 in season ticket holders.

I have season tickets for two seats myself. xthumbsupx

Last year, JMU was at around 4,000 tickets, but is expected to break that record for the 4th straight year. Right now, 2,600 tickets are renewed/sold as opposed to around 2,000 this time last year.

Another McNeese poster will have to confirm or correct me but I believe we sell 6,000 to 7,000 season tickets

2005: 11,133 season tickets sold. 22,177 average attendance.
2006: 11,160 season tickets sold. 21,825 average attendance.

Go Hens!!

I don't know why you don't get what I'm saying and everyone else does.
YSU has a total of 7,000 season ticket holders.... Forget what I said per game; just tell us how many GS has!

I don't know if Lehigh publishes this figure, but based upon the available chairbacks--which are virtually all season tickets plus those that buy bench seat season tickets, I'd estimate that we have around 3,000.

NDSU may get above 7,000 season tickets, but that won't be until the end of the drive.

McNeese averages apx 6,800, with ZERO marketing effort. I wish we could do something to try to increase that to the 7500 mark.

Is that an estimate for YSU or a fact? If fact, what's your source? I know a few years a go YSU had around 6000 but season ticket sales have dropped every year for the last few years

-Before you mention basketball; I do know for a fact there are very few basketball ONLY season ticket holders, so that number is about right.

Please note; I've talked with a few people in the marketing dept. who have confirmed season ticket sales will be up; much in part due to the chance to get OSU season tickets come this summer via a lottery. I do know Penguin Club members will likely all get tickets to that game.

I am also told attendance should be up again next year; that is in a large part due to 4 games in the early part of the season at home --4 straight home games in September--when the temps are usually in the 60s; not the 30s and 40s like you will find come November.

Why the URI bar bobbythekid? (no disrespect to Rams fans, just out of curiosity, you don't see a lot of things URI on these boards)

Cobblestone may be the only URI poster, I kinda like the guy. The real reason is they still run the triple option and I miss seeing it. Their coach used to be a GSU coach. We started from rather humble beginings and, from what I hear, URI has some room to improve.

Ahh. Makes sense! We sure had our hands full when URI came to town. Glad we had VMI's wishbone offense to practice on the week before. Anyway, back on topic. The CAAZone boards are back up and we have a poster up there working in the ticket office and he's quoting around 2700 as of now, which should put us around 4700 come game time.

That 7000 figure includes football & basketball, but I can't see anymore than a few hundred for basketball so I'd say 6500 season ticket holders for football

Here's a quote from the article...


YSU has almost 7,000 season ticket holders total in the sports of football and basketball.

Here's a quote from the article...

First off, we average about 2500 at our basketball games. When it's virtually empty; [it happens early on in the season] the paid attendance is usually at 1000; so roughly 1000 basketball season ticket holders.... read on-->

And all Penguin Club members get season tickets in each sport---- Last I was told there may only be 300-500 Basketball ONLY Season ticket holders. The rest get the combo package through the Penguin Club.

SO It's at at least 6500; but I see it going up towards 7000 this year.
