These figures mean absolutely nothing and are meaningless until they decide to define and set some parameters. First, what is the definition of attendance? Is it actual butts in the seats, is it ticket sold plus students, is it tickets used plus students, is it "estimated attendance", is it "announced attendance", is it "official attendance", or is it what some athletic director thinks it should be. They should implement rules that attendance is determined by the number of bodies that enter the venue 2hrs before and during game time. This includes refs, players, media, students, or EVERY swinging you know what that comes inside as determined by turnstiles at each and every entrance. This would exclude ambulance drivers, etc or others that come and go into the stadium via vehicle. Put that rule in place and then we can compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Otherwise our time is wasted on the discussion.


What you stated is not apples to apples because some schools puts a value on selling season tickets for basketball. Those schools dont discount game day tickets ti where you get in for a dollar or five dollars.

If Western sold dollar tickets like some of the schools in CUSA...every game would be sold out. I've seen some arenas in CUSA where a side door was open and people just walking in and no one at the door.

What I am talking about is apples to apples. Its attendance, number of people at the game. Has nothing to do with how much or if they paid anything for a ticket, its how many were there. Ticket revenue then is another matter, that depends on how many sold and at what price but NOTHING to do with body count.

I understand what you are saying but ticket prices affect butts and that is what you want counted.

So a school like Western is not going to discount our tickets like S. Miss might for basketball. So its still not apples to apples if one school is letting 4k in for $1 a piece and another is charging $15-$20 dollars. If Western ever started offering $1 tickets to most home games I might have to let my 2 season tickets go that cost $1400

Western is one school that counts butts, not tickets sold.
What’s the latest figure you have for money made from WKU sold basketball tickets?

Should have last years figures early aug.

Our coach has a 50/50 revenue split on tickets sold...after 800k in his contract. I expect that number will be close to 1.2 million.
