The question many have asked around the DAC this year is how many season ticket holders does Drexel have. Well Drexel Athletics won't release that information.

So I'm taking next Thursday's home game against Elon as a good way to check. Elon isn't going to have very many fans, if any at the game. And Drexel isn't going to sell many, if any individual tickets for this game either. So 9 days before tipoff, I logged into Drexeltickets.com and counted how many tickets were available. Now they don't sell the front row VIP seats online, but I would venture a guess that less than 20 of these have been sold.

I counted a total of 42 tickets sold on the East side of the DAC, and 78 tickets sold on the west side. That's 120. Add in about 20 VIP seats and 32 in the President's Suite, and you've got approximately 172 season tickets sold. If that alone is not a reason to fire Bruiser at the end of the year, along with the 3-20 record, I don't know what is.

I would actually assume the snow out against UNCW would be the true gauge since literally nobody showed up due to inability to travel. So that only tickets for paid attendance, in theory, would be the season ticket holders which was 332. Maybe you are right though and the number is lower, I cant say I would be surprised.

The 332 was all tickets sold, not just season tickets, so you have to figure another 160 pre-sold tickets and students who showed up that Sunday afternoon. That 332 could also include the home and away comps for the game as well.

I guess I was basing that on I assume we dont sell any tickets ahead of time other than season tickets.
