Crowd for Friday Night

[Rocker4]

There are probably 50'ish tickets left above the student area, and less than 10 scattered throughout the rest of the stadium. Why are people thinking this won't be a packed house? Are they thinking 4 or 5 thousand people renewed their tickets and won't show up??

because it's never a "packed" house over break. We typically draw between 15-17K over break.

I get that. But were the previous games you are referring to sold out like this one looks like it will be? I just can't imagine 4,000+ people renewed/bought tickets and won't show up.
Maybe I'm wrong....

Less than 100 tickets remain and I am not seeing much chatter on facebook of people selling tickets, a few here and there. It's gonna be rockin'. Who knows maybe Idaho fans turnout 1500 or so.

maybe we can sellout and get the ESPN+ block lifted

The highest attendance I've seen at a recent (last six years) playoff game is 20,457 at the SDSU game in 2021. The stadium was rocking that day. That was a day game and semi-final, so more people could and wanted to attend.

I was there, but can’t remember, how were the students for being on break?

Student section looked packed to me. I have no idea if they were actual students or not.

They were packed. Waded opened up the dorms and cafeterias to make sure as many students that wanted to could stay in Bozeman through the game. It was pretty remarkable how fast she and the university pulled that off. The team beat Sam Houston and before they landed in Bozeman, the semifinal was sold out. I think it'll be similar if the Cats win this weekend. Semifinal games in Bozeman are very rare and people know that.

we have 6 of our 8 making it. 2 can't make it due to weather and childcare. We are working on getting others to use their seats. We come from Laurel.

3 of 4 from Lewistown

[ringthebells]

Well, if it’s not sold out…. Sounds like we might have to get extra drunk and loud then…

I like where your head is at!

11 from Helena. Typically I go with the group that I had season tickets with in the past but I talked to my sisters and told them it would be the last chance to take their entire families and see Tommy and this team because I think the Semifinal tickets will be hard to get. So I'll be in the endzone instead of the 50 yard line but they are super excited to go.

Another positive that is helping fill the stadium is the weather. Other than being seasonally cold it should be a great night with no weather issues inside the stadium or on the roads to/from the game. We've had our share of bad weather December games over the years and it makes sense to expect smaller crowds for those games.

[BelligerentBobcat]

I think the students will be there. Were the #1 team in the nation, undefeated, night game, on ESPN. They’ll be there, be wild, try to get on national TV.

I had a number of friends/family ask me to grab some extra tickets for them during the pre-sale just to make sure they got some. I ended up with 13 tickets. 8 are local and 5 are driving down from the hi-line.

[BelgradeBobcat]

As per TicketsWest Looks like there's about 50 seats left. When those are gone I'm guessing they'll open up SRO?

[RockyBearCat]

7 single seats on the sidelines and about 40 behind the band! Way to go Cats Fans!!!

And because last week it showed standing room only for about 4 days after tickets opened, then all of a sudden a bunch were back on sale.

if you look by price, SRO is already for sale.

If committing to tickets guaranteed getting for each game, then yes some would buy and maybe can't attend. Are there a lot on the secondary markets sites?

The SDSU Semifinal was the first game I attended since 2007. I was never a huge Cat fan growing up in Bozeman. However, that game and atmosphere turned me full super fan! I will be cheering long and loud on the 50 this Friday, just like every Bobcat game since the SDSU semifinal!

Cats by a million!

They are listed in the by price part but as of this afternoon if you tried to buy them from there is came up and said none available so I don’t think they have actually released them yet.

[Bocephus]

If anyone is looking for tickets, looks like the mods on the ticket exchange Facebook group just approved a bunch of listings all at once.
