OT: Penn State vs SMU Tickets
- Thread starter Pitt2009

Yeah, he's killing them right now. If he can't even grip the ball put Stone in. It should be 7-0 SMU.
SMU is leaving so much space underneath. Is today really the day to guard against the deep ball?
If SMU played to their capabilities, they could defeat PSU easily. But Jennings is terrible.
PSU fans dressed to support SMU today.
That’s the first redeeming quality I’ve ever seem them display.

As I said. Tens of thousands of unsold tickets on Ticketmaster but it doesn't matter when they only give your ass 18 inches on the numbered bleachers. Would probably look full if there were 40K or 50K.
There's 100K there, it looks like. I am surprised. It's not just the bleachers.
70K. Maybe 80K. I wished I screenshotted the TM map. Tens of thousands of unsold tickets. And lets also not forget there will also be a few thousand no-shows who have tickets. Bleachers mask empty seats because you can just spread out.
It you took all the bleachers out of Pedo Stadium and installed seats, it would seat about 75K. If you took all the seats out of Acrisure and installed bleacher and gave each butt 18 inces, it would seat close to 100.
I think there are several thousand more at the game today than that? DId you attend the Pitt/Tennessee football game in Neyland? That's what 20K empty seats look like in a 100K stadium with bleacher seats. And Neyland feels smaller than Beaver Stadium.

Made up. I screenshotted the tickets available, not the resale tickets, from TM in the 3rd quarter. In 2 sections alone, there were a total of 700-800. Im not counting the whole stadium but its probably around 5K unsold. Not as many as I thought. On Stubhub, there were around 2000 tickets unsold as of 11:30 AM so many of those probably didnt sell. Also, there were probably a few thousand no-shows. And I doubt they had their full alottment of 30K or whatever students who drove in for the game or stayed an extra week past finals. I get that it looked full but its bleachers. There's no seats. If half the students showed up, it would look full. That said, it was more than I thought. So I'd estimate a crowd of 90K tops. Possibly 85K
Yes because multiple Twitter posts with video by different individuals are all made up. Delusional.
One day this board will figure out how announced attendance is calculated.
It’s TICKETS SOLD plus all of the complimentary attendees, including:
- All team members and coaches
- bands
- cheerleaders
- Press
- security
- concession workers
- hangers-on with credentials on the sidelines
Secondary market tickets count for every school, because they were sold. You can hate it if you like, but that is how it’s done.

More than that. Seating for the lower bowl alone was 87k. You have the entire upper deck, luxury boxes, club level.
Either way, the record is clear. It was 106k.
I mean I get that they announced 106K. But that doesn't mean that there were 106K there. 5000 unsold tickets on ticketmaster in the 3rd quarter when I checked. 2000 Stubhub tickets unsold as of 11:30 AM, going for $14. Some of those were eventually sold I'm sure. Factor in no-shows, especially less than 30K students, and the crowd was around 90K. I understand it looked full. But its bleacher seating. It would looked completely packex with a crowd of 50K, you understand that right?
Oh, I understand your point. I’m saying you’re wrong. You’re doubling down on your prediction that the crowd was going to be thin. It wasn’t a record crowd. The place was rockin’ though. There were far more fans than I expected. I could tell by the traffic, the lines to get in and for everything else. I’ve been to over a hundred games. It wasn’t a record breaker. It wasn’t sold out. The crowd had an impact on the game. There were times the crowd was deafening.
I was personally expecting a half empty student section. Large swaths of empty sections in the chair backs. There weren’t.
I went to the game. It was surprisingly full considering how cheap the secondary market was.
that's not correct. One day before the game, there were only 1,000 face value tickets left and that was down to around 500 by game time. It was reported by multiple media sites.
