It seems that there are plenty of people enthused about the team, unlike some others on here.
OR......... it could be that Notre Dame, Nebraska, Oregon, Northwestern, and Penn State fans found it easier and more economical to buy season tickets and sell the games they don't want than buy the leftover single game tickets in the end zone.It seems that there are plenty of people enthused about the team, unlike some others on here.

I bet that’s it. Probably has nothing to do with Walter’s and a team that’s looking like it could be fairly decent in year two.OR......... it could be that Notre Dame, Nebraska, Oregon, Northwestern, and Penn State fans found it easier and more economical to buy season tickets and sell the games they don't want than buy the leftover single game tickets in the end zone.
I think it’s like 42k ish.Question: How much of the total capacity is the season ticket max?
so at 61K capacity, around 70% full with season tix.Question: How much of the total capacity is the season ticket max?
A bit ignorant to discount the fact that these fan bases do just this…Or plenty of people enthused about this team.
If you want to pout at home on tv, go right ahead. Free country.
Does this count 15k students?so at 61K capacity, around 70% full with season tix.
Always the downer! Still peddling that "white gas" from your scout days? LOLOR......... it could be that Notre Dame, Nebraska, Oregon, Northwestern, and Penn State fans found it easier and more economical to buy season tickets and sell the games they don't want than buy the leftover single game tickets in the end zone.
A bit ignorant to make a big deal out of it if it occurs.A bit ignorant to discount the fact that these fan bases do just this…
I didn t make a big deal out of it. I’m just pointing out the obvious while others choose to ignore or interpret as something it may not be.A bit ignorant to make a big deal out of it if it occurs.
3-5k is a very small number compared to what you implied. But I doubt itI didn t make a big deal out of it. I’m just pointing out the obvious while others choose to ignore or interpret as something it may not be.
I’m bullish on this season. I think we can be more than decent…but a lot of things on gameday need to improve to get there.
I’m not the one who’s in disbelief that we sold out. The excitement for college football overall has never been higher. We should be able to sell 40k season tickets in a major conference. I’m not discounting the achievement…but you also can’t discount that we might have sold 3-5k extra season tickets to fans that will be visiting
It’s not. At this point it’s the difference between sold out and not3-5k is a very small number compared to what you implied. But I doubt it
That’s assuming your number is even correct….It’s not. At this point it’s the difference between sold out and not
Yes, I believe so. I think the student allotment sold out in a couple of days. What I don't know is how many have to be allocated for visiting teams (I found one reference of 2500, but I would think it be a percentage, not a flat number). still, that's around another 5%, and they sell a TON of the 3 game passes ($99?) so I would expect a crowded house for most games.Does this count 15k students?
I'm sure many of those student tickets were just Notre Dame, Oregon or Penn State fans who enrolled at Purdue only to get tickets to their team's game.Yes, I believe so.

Nope. they'd never qualify with the grades.I'm sure many of those student tickets were just Notre Dame, Oregon or Penn State fans who enrolled at Purdue only to get tickets to their team's game.
I bet 3-5k Purdue fans would buy that many between now and the ND game. I’m sure many of the tickets were bought by opposing fans but I also think it’s more that we have a really good schedule this year. Friday night lights vs Oregon, the ND game, and Penn State on senior day is worth it by themselves.It’s not. At this point it’s the difference between sold out and not
You are sure… so you keep claiming this with no evidence. Why so negative about Purdue football?I bet 3-5k Purdue fans would buy that many between now and the ND game.

Good for Purdue fans though as there are $2 tickets on stubhub!
Really? Yes I’m sure at least two opposing fans bought season tickets. My point was I’m in agreement some of the season tickets went to fans but I really think a lot of PURDUE fans bought season tickets due to a great schedule this year.You are sure… so you keep claiming this with no evidence.

I said of Purdue fans, lolNo no no, you said 3-5k.
Clearly your definition of decent is different than mine.I bet that’s it. Probably has nothing to do with Walter’s and a team that’s looking like it could be fairly decent in year two.
From the looks of the stadium during the Oregon, Nebraska and likely the Penn State game it’s way way more!No no no, you said 3-5k.
Nothing like pulling a comment from August…Clearly your definition of decent is different than mine.
Nothing like using a comment from August. Where have I said this years Purdue team looks fairly decent?From the looks of the stadium during the Oregon, Nebraska and likely the Penn State game it’s way way more!
I’d agree that BoilerNs definition of fairly decent is likely a lot different than everyone else here.
When you were so confident Walters was the messiah even after he blew a pretty talented 2023 teamNothing like using a comment from August. Where have I said this years Purdue team looks fairly decent?
There was reason the believe they would take a step forward. There was talent on the 2023 team, but lots of holes as well.When you were so confident Walters was the messiah even after he blew a pretty talented 2023 team
Sure. The same amount of holes Purdue has had as a program since the beginning of time. We shouldn’t have to have a roster stocked with NFL guys to go 6-6. With a competent coach last year 6-6 or better was no issue.There was reason the believe they would take a step forward. There was talent on the 2023 team, but lots of holes as well.
Agreed. 6-6 was possible last year. A couple early losses as Walter’s figured it out cost Purdue a couple wins. But they finished strong and brought in some talent. Reason to think they would take a step forward.Sure. The same amount of holes Purdue has had as a program since the beginning of time.

Nothing like being incredibly gullible regarding the talent level of the incoming players.Nothing like pulling a comment from August…
How was I gullible?Nothing like being incredibly gullible regarding the talent level of the incoming players.
You bought the hype and wins vs an incredibly weak schedule as an improvement.How was I gullible?
I bought the way they finished with an off season and talent coming in as reason to think they could win 4-6 yes. Not even you thought they’d be this bad.You bought the hype and wins vs an incredibly weak schedule as an improvement.
Remember we had to score a last minute TD to beat an IU team that fired their coach…
