Saturday, the ticket office will announce they have sold 26,000 tickets.

With it being homecoming there will be 20,000 in first quarter.

After halftime will be down to 12,000 after all the fraternities/sororities leave after king/queen announced. Plus many alumni will be leaving as every reunion party is scheduled to take place during the game.

I'm going to guess we start with 25,000 fans because it's homecoming but to others point, regardless of score, it will be 15,000 people in the 2nd half.

I think it all depends on how quickly the pick 6 is thrown. Genius idea to wait until OT this past week. Kept fans in the stadium longer than usual.

22,000 with close to that number until 2nd half. Assuming Houston blows us out, maybe 8-10,000 there by 4th quarter

For an outsider's perspective: on the secondary market in prior years I was able to get a 40 yard seat on the opponent's side for $10 or less. So far this year I cant get better than endzone for around $20.

So either fans are keeping their season ticket seats this year or there were fewer season tickets bought to dump on the secondary market

Something is not right. The east side is always empty.

I guess another possibility is people are overpricing east side tickets and no one is buying them. There are tickets available, just not as cheap as prior years
