Northwestern game

[72Boiler]

So far, I know for sure I'll be at the Northwestern game. Does anyone know if they have sold out that game, or how close it is to a sell out? Or do they have to wait until the students start back, on 8/20; and give them a week, or so?

Not even close to a sellout according to StubHub. Might get closer the week of but I’m going to guess it’ll be about 53k which is about 4K short of a sellout.

Okay, thanks for that info. I do wonder how many seats they alot to the students. I would think/hope that sales should be very popular now, especially after a real thrilling Bowl win, last year. It's also a really affordable student season ticket price. So I hope they come out in force, to support the Boilers.

Stubhub is a secondary source for tickets - how would one determine if an event is sold out by looking on StubHub?

 

[OldStyle1902]

I would expect a monster student section for this game hopefully 18-20k students which would likely sell out RA

More tickets available...less likely to be sold out? I was just trying to actually give a decent answer other than what I believe will happen.

Yeah, I doubt there's much of a correlation there

Fair enough.

Thursday night makes it more of a challenge. If this was a Saturday game, my guess is you'd get several thousand more people

 

[72Boiler]

Does anyone happen to know how many seats that allow for the students, when they start back? I'm just curious, since I know they can really make some noise, and affect the whole atmosphere of the place.

I just hope the giant penis makes a return to some games.

Courtsensetwo goes to Purdue games?

Yes, he follows the giant penis wherever it appears. Kind of like one of Pavlov's subjects!!!

Since he continues to post under several different names, at least one of them will be in attendance at RA.

You can get a good idea for student area and how many tickets are available by going to purduesports.com and looking at what seats are available. They had the flash sale a week or so ago and told out a few sections on the end. For the area blocked out around the student section it went from the north 40 yard line to about "2:00" on the curve. On the west side of the field between the goal lines they have very few tickets but the north endzone there are a lot available. I think right now they have $11 tickets there which comes with a $5 food voucher so they will probably sell a lot of those. They are making a strong effort to sell out, and I would not be surprised if they do with the type of promotions they are having.

Most helpful, thank you. Looks like we have a ways to go.

Don’t know about a sellout but my season tickets arrived today!! Three weeks and two wake ups

I'm surprised it sounds like so many available. I'm really pumped for this game... Hopefully we sell out

This could be the largest student section game since OSU in 2000. Atmosphere should be tremendous!

Man I wish students still got tickets with their enrollment! Some of those crowds when I was a kid were crazy!! I can’t tell you how many times I was hit by streaming toilet paper! Those days I sat with my dad in the seats that were actually inside the old chain linked fence and on the field in front of the student section. Fun times indeed!

The irony that you posted this is beyond description.

How about the marshmallows soaked in coke

Oh for Sure! There were occasions when the entire student section was a whiteout as it broke out in all out marshmallow warfare. That made for some sticky aisles...lol.

When we ran out we would make the drunkest person in our group stand up and hundreds of marshmallows would rain down on them

No matter how "beautiful" campus is made by high rise glass palaces it's the year of living in a crappy apartment and fun with tp and marshmallows with friends that holds the fondest place in an alum's memories years later.

In many of those years my buddy and I would go sell cokes at the games and back then they referred to each of us as “Mr. Mixer”, since we were bringing them coke for their Jack...LMAO!

Saw tonight that Herbstriet is calling our game. Very cool.
