np_husker Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Has anyone heard lately how many tickets have been sold for the spring game? Last time I heard (over a week ago), it was around 33,000. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I think it is close to 40k at this point. Quote Link to comment
Husker_Power Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 As of Thursday, about 40,700 tickets had been sold for Nebraska’s Red-White spring game on April 19. Jeff Jamrog, Nebraska assistant athletic director for football operations, has said it’s a goal for the game to be a sellout. The record attendance for a Husker spring game was set in 2005, during Callahan’s second season, when 63,416 fans showed up. per ljs Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Yeah, this is the first time that I can remember seeing the spring game actively promoted like it is this year. I imagine they need to get as much cash as possible to pay for the contract buyouts. Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Why do i have a feeling that this spring game won't be a sellout. I really want this spring game to be a sellout Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Why do i have a feeling that this spring game won't be a sellout. I really want this spring game to be a sellout I agree with you. I hope we sell it out, but I don't know if we will. Quote Link to comment
husker249 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I really was considering driving up to lincoln on april 18th and staying in a hotel and going to the spring game, but i realized i am going to be in D.C. that weekend!! is it going to be televised or streamed on the net??

np_husker Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I bought 18 tickets. They were only going to allow me 10, which I thought was silly considering it is just a practice game, but they gave in and let me buy 18. I too hope it's a sell out, but have my doubts. Haven't heard whether it will be televised. Quote Link to comment
huskeraddict Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I still think 40K+ is pretty good considering it is still March and tickets have been out for a month. Don't count out the people that will buy on game day, too. On a related note, anyone gotten their tickets yet? Quote Link to comment
hack Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 there have been 40k ticket PRESOLD. there are gonna be easily 50k people there this season, if not more. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 As it approaches, people will feel that rush and get their tickets. 50K is a great showing of support. Quote Link to comment
red_black Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 didnt they sell like 30k last year the day of the game? Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 When they set the record of over 60k people, they only presold about 30k. If we are already over 40k, it may be a sell out. Quote Link to comment
