knapplc Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 It took less than 30 minutes to ensure that the Nebraska volleyball team's sellout streak at the NU Coliseum will continue for another year. The Huskers have sold out 149 straight matches at the Coliseum, and on Tuesday morning all remaining single-match tickets sold out, the school's athletic ticket office announced. A total of 4,850 tickets were sold, including those for the annual Red-White intrasquad scrimmage on Aug. 20. Tickets for that match are still available at $10 for reserved seats and $8 for general admission. Some fans started camping out at the ticket office on Sunday night in hopes of nabbing tickets. Still, some of the fans that waited in line for several hours did not get the tickets they'd hoped for because of fans also ordering online and by phone. Seniors Brigette Root and Jordan Wilberger thanked the fans for their support by bringing them doughnuts early Tuesday morning. LINK Had I known there would be donuts, I'd have gone to the ticket office. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Anyone know how long this streak compares to the rest of the country volleyball-wise? Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 I believe we're second to Hawaii. They have a large lead on us, both in sellouts and overall attendance. I believe we're a solid #2 in attendance annually. EDIT - yep, Hawaii has led the nation in attendance each of the last 14 years, which is as long as the NCAA has been keeping stats. We have been #2 eleven of the past 12 years, with Wiscy taking the #2 spot in 2003, when we were #3, 55 people per game behind. Quote Link to comment
husker_hurdler Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 to be fair... Hawaii plays in an arena that seats 10,000 every night. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 That's true. It'll be interesting to see what happens when we take over the Devaney Center in 2014. Our sellout streak will likely end that year, but our overall attendance numbers will jump dramatically. I'm already planning on getting season tickets again that year. Quote Link to comment
