I've been worried about this from the beginning. UAB has been treating these tickets like they're golden from the start. First it was the 6-pack requirement and then the early offer to season ticket holders but limits on the numbers they could buy. And then the raised ticket prices for upper level seats when they went public. Meanwhile, I've never been convinced this was going to be a hard sell-out. There are hard-core UAB fans who will turn out and it will be a great atmosphere regardless, but it takes the casual UAB and/or general basketball fans to create the hard sellouts.
The last UNC game was in the middle of tournament fever. It wasn't the NCAA, but it was March. And that's when basketball is hot. December 1? That's football season. And it's the day after the UAT/Auburn game. At 5:00. On a Sunday. At the end of the Thanksgiving weekend. Granted, it's UNC. And I wouldn't miss it for literally anything. But I've been concerned. And I remain concerned. I just don't know that bumping the ticket prices reflects reality. I hope I'm wrong.

-Single tickets and a few back rows in the corners still available as of right now... we're talking a few hundred tickets remaining, not thousands. I'm going to guess the game will be a soft sell out by the end of the week, with singles available until a few days before the game.

I'm guessing UAB is making way more bank off this game than the last few Memphis games, although this game has been advertised more.

Exactly, which is why I didn't understand why this game wasn't the Bartow Classic. Could've raised twice the money for cancer research.
