Cheapest seats are now down to $66 online and I see no reason why they won’t keep dropping up until game time.

This is the only way I’ll make it Saturday. Had to decide between Saturday and the bowl game.

Wow. What a thorough and well written newspaper article.

The ST never fails to impress me.

They'r charging buyer fees? I'e never had any additional buyer fees, only seller.

 

[Sebastian S]

Stubhub has fees on both ends.

And it's looking like OU will have more there just looking at what's sold out on stubhub.

Is this a surprise to people? How do you sell 90k seats in one week for something that isn't a national championship game at those crazy prices?

This morning on WBAP, it was said most tickets were sold. What was left was the corners in the 400 level. Seems to me the writer is not painting an accurate picture.

If CCG ends up with 65k or more, I would call that a success. Unlike at times where the ACC Championship has had half full stadiums.

ACC and P12 title games have often looked like an early round 3A playoff game.

I don't blame fans, though. These championship games are made for TV products. If the game tomorrow were being played played somewhere like Kansas City then there's no way I'd be making that trip with one week's notice.

Is the googled answer of 100K capacity at the DeathStar real or does that include The rickety extra scaffolding seats the Super Bowl packer fans got cheated out of?

What’s the “regular” real chair seating capacity?

regular capacity for football is high 80s. the 100 was the superbowl push to cram as many as they could. fell a bit short of the superbowl attendence record as the fire chief blocked them from opening some additional seats.

I’ve always been a big advocate that the Big 12 championship should be a home game for the higher placed team, similar to how the Pac 12 did it before moving the game to Levi’s stadium.

Better attendance, better college football atmosphere, and most importantly a true reward/incentive for the Big 12 team that finished #1 in the regular season.

No boat! Dang, close to a sellout, in December, with the roof open, das a lotta purple and Scott can watch his Frogs from heaven along with c whitewolf, Tucson, and Gamecock & Molly.

 

[finafrog]

I don’t remember.

the lsu game was 80k, according to https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/boxscore?id=19385

vs byu in 2011 was 50k. http://www.gofrogs.com/sports/m-footbl/recaps/102911aad.html

i expect something in-between.

Are you accounting for fees? Stubhub and Ticketmaster fees add about $20+

Game should be played at Farrington Field.
