We won't be selling out the season tickets, this much I can almost guarantee you.
However, the
ISU-Iowa game will be sold out.
How?
As it's been discussed on the boards and radio - via the tent sales.
Lets say we sell 35,000 season tickets. IMO, that would be a great number for '07. So 4000 tickets go to Iowa. that leaves us with about 16,000 unsold tickets for the game.
Pollard stated they hold some back for the tent sales yet did not specify the number. I think I've heard around 4000-5000 are usually held back for that game. Well - lets say Wells Fargo wants one of those gigantic tents that hold 2000 people. And maybe another corporation wants to do the same. A few of those add up rather quickly and you're looking at a sold out game.
I'll bet Jamie already has these organizations waiting. Once we get further into the year and renewals are done - he'll be able to benchmark where the total season ticket sales will be.
Then, let the large tent sales gates open.
