Totally agree njm 8845!
Touche! Use to get excited when the winter thaw hit and a trip down for the spring scrimmage.........not even thinking about it..........don't care!!!!! As for tickets...............sales will be pathetic at best. Most will wait and buy single game tickets if the weather is nice and just want to make a road trip with friends to tailgate! Embarrassing at best this year when games are televised on the BIG Network and the stadium isn't even half full!
I chuckled to myself yesterday, picturing a grumpy 50-something woman in the ticket office, staring at the phone, waiting for it to ring.
This. If I can find tix for less than $10 on stubhub, (or get them for free, preferably) AND it's a nice day, I MIGHT go to a game with my family, if it doesn't interfere with my kids' sports schedules.
I believe they did a Groupon promo in 2014. What they ought to be doing is looking at a cool way to temporarily block out the majority of north end zone seats and tighten up supply.
I'm glad more of the soccer mommie types stay away from the games these days. Get tired of them yelling throw da bomb & blitz every other play!
Well if emptying out Ross ade stadium is your goal, you're going to love the 2016 season.
Yes, if you average 3 ticket sales a day, you can sell an additional 42 tickets by starting on February 16th instead of March 1. Another brilliant strategy by Morgue.
Do you really think they can sell three per day?If they do,I will be surprised.
Great year to buy tickets to Purdue football....choice of great seats available, no traffic problems into or out of the tailgates, no huge lines to restrooms or concession stands, and you get to see some pretty good teams play. And if you get really lucky, you might even see the Boilers score a touchdown.
I don't think they would sell out even if they have Beyoncé doing the halftime show
I think what they should do is get some students wearing sandwich boards selling tickets for five bucks apiece during basketball games at Mackey, sort of like they do during concerts at White River.Great year to buy tickets to Purdue football....choice of great seats available, no traffic problems into or out of the tailgates, no huge lines to restrooms or concession stands, and you get to see some pretty good teams play.

Au contraire on the lack of lines at concessions stands - since we only open about 1/3 of them on game day, the lines are still ridiculously long.Great year to buy tickets to Purdue football....choice of great seats available, no traffic problems into or out of the tailgates, no huge lines to restrooms or concession stands, and you get to see some pretty good teams play.

I've got it: cover the seats with tarps that are digitally printed with images of Purdue football fans. Or maybe get a 3D printer and print life size Purdue football fan replicas. (They wouldn't boo Morgue!)
LOL!!Sounds like that Steve Martin movie................"The Lonely Guy"!
Burke should contact Universal Studios' surplus department. When they were filming the movie "Seabiscuit" at Lexington's Keeneland racecourse, they had about 9,000 blowup people tied to seats to augment all the extras in the stands to make it look like a sellout.
Just 9,000? We will need about 4 times that many, but that's a good start.
Oh, forgot to mention...all were painted wearing Great Depression-era clothing...should fit right in with the rest of our fans' psyches....
