We have season tickets and were there 30 minutes earlt for the Texas match and the GA section was about 50% full in the lower level. By match time, there were people in the upper level. I would plan on 50 minutes early if it was me.

Those (2) items will greatly reduce the Big Red Fan Base. I hope we get 10,000, most of them will be ISU fans.

One thing:

Nebraska has a "volleyball" fan base, it's not just a "Husker" fan base, as with most other schools.
Their VB booster club, The Match Club, has been organizing a migration to Ames for months. Long before (a) their loss to us, and (b) long before their game time with OU was announced:

The Match Club Home

The deadline for a seat on their buses was Oct. 5

Again, this is not just "any" volleyball fan base.

I was at the game wednesday against TU, Hilton was rockin'! It was the first collegiate VB game I had been to and I will definitely be their cheering the clones on Saturday again!

I'm guessing close to 7,000 for attendance.

I wasn't at the match last year - so I can't say.

I have been to numerous other NU away matches, and this talk of 1000's of husker fans being in attendance is a little over blown. By a fair bit.

Last years' 6700 was due to (in no order):

Many Nebraska Fans
$1 Tickets
Free admission wearing Gold
Free admission with WBB Ticket (they had a game beforehand)

However, I think 7000 is certainly realistic tomorrow. The thought of planning beforehand is a good one; I normally go to Hilton ticket office when it opens. I went to Mason City today for other stuff, used my head, and went to Hy-Vee and got my ticket. Paid $6.90 instead of $5, but probably will be worth it when I see the line tomorrow night.

Last year's 6700 was also only 4294.

I believe when doors open....so 7pm?

That promotion the volleyball team did tonight has to help chase down the record.

- The Hilton Box Office will open at 6:30 p.m. There will also be a ticket trailer outside the Hilton Box Office selling tickets, but purchases will be cash only.

And they take care of my will-call tickets to pick up?

I got a free ticket from a friend that went to the basketball game, so now me and 2 others are going and we weren't planning to go before. I'm sure there will be a ton of folks just like us.
