Got my mini-pack at 8:01 sharp (yeah!), and then was just curious what could be had for other games. Texas game has some seats available, mostly at $70, and I couldn't view any available tickets for the Oklahoma State game at all! TCU only has four upper-deck sections left where you can buy more than singles.

What are other folks getting?

Odds on all games sold out by the end of the week? :spinny: Gimme some Kool-aid!


Update 8:27 am: Only singles left for UNI and Oklahoma State.

We got hillside for UNI and a minipack. Figured Iowa game was a hopeless cause unless we want to pay thru the nose. Thinking about skipping Texas. My ears are still ringing from a high pitched screaming banshee Texas woman right behind me two years ago. I don't know, can you still buy single game hillside for Texas? I could at least control who I sit by on the hill a little bit.

Ended up getting three hillside each for UNI, TCU, and OK ST. Called at exactly 8 and waited on hold, ended up just ordering them all online while waiting on hold for half an hour. Good Luck to everyone else ordering

I was afraid UNI hillside would sell out so I got a season ticket holder to get me those. The UNI fans are probably flooding the ticket office this morning too.

Why would we be selling mini packs if the season tickets were sold out? Does Iowa get more tickets than conference games that we can't sell as season tickets? Otherwise that doesn't make a lot of sense.

I thought I read that the mini packs came from the other schools allotment that they didnt sell.

All teams get the same number of tickets allocated to them. Minipacks consist primarily of unused tickets from those schools. UNI and Iowa will use their full allocation. Kansas, TCU and Oklahoma State will not. Therefore we still can't sell season tickets due to UNI and Iowa using their full contractually required amount.

I think some of those seats are bought by existing season ticket holders when they are given the opportunity to purchase single game tickets. They should push back this date in order to sell more season tickets.

Just curious to see what was left for a few of the games. Looks like UNI may sell out this afternoon. 30 singles left.

First 3 games will be a sell-out. Next 2-3 will be determined by how we are doing at that point. With season tickets selling out, there will likely be 53k+ at every game.

Likely first 4 will sell out, TCU and Kansas will depend how we're doing.

TCU will sell out. Fans will be excited to have a team that Iowa State has never hosted at home (correct me if I'm wrong). Plus if TCU is ranked in the top 15 I'm sure people will be thinking it could be the Rhoads upset special of the year and wont want to miss it

The mini-pack date has historically (well, the last three years or so) been in early/middle September - I was very surprised when the date was announced for today.

I was curious how they were selling, so I pretended like I wanted to buy a pair about 12:45 pm - best seats I got was row 16/17 for Section H. For reference, last year I forgot to buy the mini-pack on the first available day, called the ticket office five days later in a panic, and got Section H row 7/8 for all three games.

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) we hosted TCU during our winless season in 1994.
