Wed Ticket sales

Any new information on the # sold.
I've bought a couple more off Ticketswest; since I couldn't get through to the Bobcat ticket office; but now on Ticketswest all I'm seeing is endzone seats.
Are we at a sell out?

I just tried it -- doing a query for one $30 ticket, and it gave me one in section 102, row 17, seat 8. So there must still be at least some tickets left ... I can't imagine they would be close to sold out yet ... but anything's possible.

I've been using 2 in the query; so if 1's are available they have to be getting close.
This is great support by the fans; after the loss of 3 home games in September Kramer told the team the home crowd deserved to see the 'road' team; that resulted in 3 wins at home...now we'll see the playoff team!
Way to show your support of the Bobcats fans!!!

Yep, trying to get a single ticket works, but go for two or more $30 tickets and it just brings up an error about not being available. We can't really be down to only single tickets together already can we? I'm thinking this is just an online problem with Ticketswest or something.

I just tried two as well ... no dice.

Could it be? I would be shocked it that happened this fast.

There may be blocks of tickets that haven't been released or some other logistical issue ... but maybe?

The same thing was happening earlier w/the Pepsi zone, now it seems the situation is reversed....may have to do with blocks

I was just going to say. I just tried 4 tickets in the $30 zone and they had some in row 7, they must have released season tickets...I think the schedule for that was noon today so that could be it!

Must be a ticket block issue; I just tried 2 again and got them.

Yep, like I said I was guessing more of an online issue or something than actually having a shortage. I did notice that the ones I am getting now off of TicketsWest in blocks are in Section 107, typically reserved for away fans. Perhaps Furman returned their unused blocks which have now been released?

Good Point Kmax - that will open up some seats for us, and could mean that we need them

HERE'S TO HOPING!!!

I have heard somewhere between 7000-8000 tickets sold so far.

I am thinking it is more than that already, unless I'm missing something. I just called in and the guy told me there were only like 30 or 40 of the $30.00 tickets remaining, so all that were left were end-zone seats? And I know that many people have already purchased end-zone seats, myself included... so how many seats could realistically be left?

Ticket office just told me they are over 8000 as of today. They are closed tomorrow and open on Friday. 8000 so far isn't bad for 3 days.

I had heard very similar things ... so I am confused as well.

Are there some huge blocks that haven't been released to the general public yet ... like the student tickets? I'm having a hard time figuring out where the 5,000+ unsold tickets could be located. How much does the endzone hold? A couple thousand?

Don't forget 114 is also considered "endzone" seating. I think the big discrepancy here is the student section. My guess is that this hasn't been release to the public yet. There are alot of student seats, and with students gone I am guessing alot of those are unclaimed but not yet available to the public. Anybody know when/if they will release unsold student tix for general public sale?

This sounds similar to yesterday when I was getting my tickets. For some reason it is a slow process for them to unlock the unclaimed season tickets. So, my bet is that there are just blocks that they still haven't been able to unlock yet.
But, the numbers are looking good so far.

Just got my four tickets. Hooty damn hoo. I'll be there with rings on my fingers and bells on my toes and a bone in my nose hoho

Anybody been to the ticket outlets in person in the last hour or so? If so, are there still a good stream of people, or is everybody settling in for the holiday about now?

the news just confimed the 8000 mark
