Could be for us as well. Wouldn’t miss this for anything. Just landed here in Philly. We Are!
Is this game in danger of not being a sellout?
- Thread starter PSUWrestlingFanSince2011
- Start date
As was stated before, that's either an outright lie by PSU or else there was a glitch and students who tried to apply for tickets were never entered into the lottery.The ticket inventory and pricing are controlled by the CFP. All students who requested tickets by the Friday, Nov. 29 deadline received tickets, and no student requests were turned away prior to the Nov. 29 deadline.
Penn State Students Cry Foul Over CFP Student Section Tickets Being Sold to General Public
Students at Penn State are accusing the school of selling student tickets for the Nittany Lions' upcoming College Football Playoff game against Southern Methodist University to the general public in an effort to increase revenue.www.athleticbusiness.com
Or the students screwed up the request process, and they are the ones mistaken and/or lying.
What? They just made an understandable mistake based upon having no precedent.
Should they have done a better job anticipating? Maybe.
But hardley the worst thing I have seen.
Have fun--this isn't a once in a lifetime thing for us--a first in our lifetime but for SMU they may never see the playoff again
Game now a sellout. Officially making this thread exactly what everyone knew it would be: Ridiculous.
And exactly as predicted. As soon as people were reasonably sure there wouldn’t be snow/travel issues they bought tickets.
and many company events were planned long before anyone knew Penn State would be playing on 12/21...if it means anything..one would think SMU will have a VERY small crowd in attendance...why travel from Texas..to be in freezing temperatures in a small remote town in the middle of Pennsylvania called..State College...clearly out of all the playoff games..with home field advantage..no one compares to what PSU is getting this weekend...Tennessee will have a good size crowd as well as Indiana...both away games for them..
Great. Does fewer students mean we won't see the empty seats due to students arriving late?
I'll be interested to see how many dress in white given the temps. Maybe they'll give everyone a white shaker to compensate.
Except there are still LOTS of CFP Official (i.e. non-resale) tickets available.
Purpose pitch is on line one and he says that's not something a "true fan" would say 😂
Ticketmaster still has cfp tix. Looks like about half of what was still unsold has sold since I last looked, but resales are $40 (aka why pay $100 when you can grift a grifter out of his?).
Yes. Crowd was loud (TV was mic'd up very well) and caused several issues for SMU.
Also, can we put to rest the "can't do a White Out when it'd cold" narrative? Fans had plenty of white. The snow added to the visual.
Cold was fine. Noon isn't though. It's not the same.
You bitched and acted like a whiney little baby non-stop for a week about our fanbase not showing up for this.
They were always going to come.
The people that were coming, came. The ones who weren't going to come, didn't. You acting like a child who everyone wanted to throat punch did nothing to change that.
You probably watch porn and shout at the performers to come, and when they do, you take credit for it.
You cried like a baby over and over and over and over and over and over again, and the only thing it accomplished was making people try to figure out where to hide the body.
Guy had no faith in Penn State's fanbase. Definitely a terrible fan. Anyone who didn't think our fanbase was going to show up and make an impact is just an awful representative of Penn State. Any real fan would have known.
On our off day, we still broke the college football playoff attendance record.
For what it is worth, it indeed was not a sell out.
Of course it was the highest attended CFP playoff game ever so I think that’s okay.

If PSU had 30,000 fewer seats and played an in state opponent who was buying a bunch of tickets, the resale prices would have high too.
I’m having a hard time figuring out who I want to humiliate, Georgia or Notre Dame in the final 4 round. It’s always nice to see a good SEC beatdown, but I just hate those Irish. They did a lot of smack talking online, particularly about the damn ticket prices as if that meant anything.
I mean short of getting a g5 school or a cinderella big ten story Indiana, this was the closest you could have come to an underwhelming home playoff opponent.
If you care about narratives, you'd rather beat UGA, unless you can get Texas in the title game.
I can already hear Finebaum asking, "Is it really a national title if you don't beat a single SEC team to do it?"
