WSU's minimum for a seat is 500 .. so a million would be about 2,000 seats at the lowest cost.

About 1000 seats are at $100 without donation. The other 17 thousand are $200 to $3000 with donation levels between $200-Ambassador Level($100k) required per seat.

So, **** seats at 100.

Ok that puts it in perspective. Our absolute worst seats on the last row behind a pole are 500 a seat with a 500 donation for a pair (so 750 minimum per seat if you buy a pair). Obviously goes up to some insanely high values up close.

That's a lot of tickets then if you have that many cheap seats.

My understanding is the great majority of the tickets sold are in the lower bowl, the expensive seats, with high seat donation charges on top of the ticket price. Many are former season ticket holders getting their old seats back, plus maybe more seats. JMO.

Also, capacity is 18,000+, not 16K, as some keep saying. What is the capacity in Wichita? Just curious.

10k

Thanks. That would explain why your cheapest are $500, and we have 1000 at $100, and some other amount at $200, before the seats go up close to infinity, lol.

They really just sold two $500,000 tickets. You get to sit on Keith Lee's shoulders.

sideline terrace level are $200 per seat and do require a small donation to TSF - $50 per seat I believe. the $100 season seats are endzone terrace

ANd with that additional number of seats sold, Memphis will get $800K additional from Fedex Forum that was lost under Tubby.

I thought season tickets went on sale later in the summer, or maybe just renewals.

Per Tiger Ticket Office, renewals not involving move or addition will handled in August.

So we already have gained almost $2M, not counting seat donations, which pushes it much higher, I presume.

Hell, the $2M almost matches our AAC TV money for a year.

I think I've read the Forum seating breakdown is 8,000 Plaza, 2,000 Club and 10,000 Terrace (give or take). it was a real issue moving from the Pyramid where it was 12,000 lower and 8,000 upper. folks used to being down low were pushed up to Club and Terrace seats

Yea, but at least in the forum you can actually sit in your seat. At the Tomb of Doom, you needed to be 5 ft or shorter to enjoy the spacious leg room.

upper deck especially. keep in mind it was designed to be a 16000 seat arena. 2/3 thru construction the city council figured out HEY ITS BENCH SEATING UP THERE and put a add to the contract to go to chair backs. THEN those same brain surgeons decided that a Final Four would never come unless it had at least 20,000 seats so they needed to squeeze 4000 more people in the building. just about the time the building opened the NCAA decide to move to domes for the final four. the pyramid was a perfect example of an unfocused government project with no fixed target or price. meanwhile the university had its about to begin on campus arena project scuttled and its $10 million in funding already in the bank extorted by the city/county to help them pay for the pyramid. the story of building that thing would make a great book but people wouldn't believe its non-fiction.

I hope so too. FEF would get so loud you could hardly hear yourself think. There were times I thought the roof was going to get blown off the place. Let the Tigers get back to their winning ways, opposing teams and their fans will see it first hand.

Your total is 20K, so there are 2K less somewhere, and I bet they are Plaza level seats. Somebody told me the lower bowl held about 6K. So 6K, 2K and 10K seems about right.

That makes me sad. I've often wondered how things would be different if football, basketball, or both played on campus. Instead it's a chore to go to either one.

Yep.

Tubby didnt think attendance was his responsibility.

In one week, Penny has paid for his first year's salary by increasing attendance.

And Dan Dakich can eat one.
