JTrain Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I don't know the whole story behind some of the 2007 games. I've seen posters here implying the sellout streak is actually over, in reality, but never heard that explained. Someone enlighten me. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Big business bought some tickets, but every pro team does that, lots of tickets to the Redsox games are bought by coorporations and no one sets in the seats. Normal occurance there. I think it was just a few that had some of the students not taking their tickets or something on that order. Not a big deal.. Thank you Clownahan Quote Link to comment
Ringer02 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Every seat in the stadium is a season ticket so as long as they sell out the first game the rest of the year is a sellout, same as most big stadiums. Quote Link to comment

But... if somebody wasn't in their seat, doesn't that mean the sellout streak is over? Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 The visiting team's allotment are not season tickets. I'd guess they returned some of theirs and we had trouble selling all of them. Not sure what other tickets could have been unsold. It wasn't just 2007, in the early 90s some businesses had to buy them to keep the streak alive. Quote Link to comment

But... if somebody wasn't in their seat, doesn't that mean the sellout streak is over? Huh? If every ticket was sold there was a SELLOUT there is a reason that word exists. If you want to call it an "at capacity streak" than this conversation is legitimate. But Nebraska has sold every ticket to every game since 1962. Quote Link to comment

But... if somebody wasn't in their seat, doesn't that mean the sellout streak is over? Heh, no. There's never going to be any game in any sport where EVERYONE can make it. Sometimes people get sick the morning of the game. They're not always going to be able to go out and sell their ticket to someone else. Quote Link to comment

Hooked on Huskers Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'm kinda worried about it when the east stadium project is completed. Almost 100,000 seats? Quote Link to comment

Sellout Steak Read this, then you will understand the context of what he is saying. I read part of that thread, but I still don't understand the context or this discussion. When you sell every-single-ticket, it is a sellout. Nobody could show up, and the game would still be "sold out". Similarly, if a concert is sold out, somebody doesn't go because they get in an accident, and their ticket is never given to somebody, it's still a sellout concert. That's how these things are measured. If you want to argue that because everybody wasn't in the stadium on a given day, that's one thing. But if all the tickets are sold, it's an end-of-discussion sellout. Quote Link to comment

It's on the 3rd or 4th page where the poster who started the thread said that he didn't think it was a sellout unless every seat was filled. Quote Link to comment
