Season ticket holders had to apply for their seats for the game, and could also apply for four additional tickets.58,000 ticket inquiries??
And still 5 days to go before the priority deadline for requests passes. Heard somewhere that 2,500 seats are held for the visiting team but not sure if that is accurate?So far there have been applications for 58,000 if we would host the CFPs.
Season ticket holders were given the opportunity to request an additional 8 seats over and above their season ticket seats.Season ticket holders had to apply for their seats for the game, and could also apply for four additional tickets.
So, sounds like the game will sell out if it happens.

Yep. I'm not a season ticket holder, but I like the ones that are getting the first cut at the tickets. They deserve it and I prefer them controlling the bulk of the tickets (assume they will with the request up to 8).Good for season ticket holders. Finally getting rewarded for loyalty. I like it too. Bandwagon people always pay more. Massive grin! Cost more to be late. Go Hoosiers!
I think it’s great they’re being rewarded as well but I can also see on the negative side. A holder buys eight additional tickets but then puts them up for sale. How many would be sold to the visiting team fans? Does IU want that to happen? Instead of 2500(?) tickets they now might have 10000. Sorry to be negative.Good for season ticket holders.

I'm a long-time season ticket holder but I agree with your take. I have 3 season tickets. If that is the number of people in my group who typically attend games, I'm not sure why I, or anyone else in my position, should be entitled to additional tickets. I'll take my 3 and be fine with it.I think it’s great they’re being rewarded as well but I can also see on the negative side. A holder buys eight additional tickets but then puts them up for sale.

3500 hundred for the visitors, inclusive of band and cheer.And still 5 days to go before the priority deadline for requests passes. Heard somewhere that 2,500 seats are held for the visiting team but not sure if that is accurate?
I get what you are saying, but this program needs all the fan support it can get.The only bad part is that the bandwagon fans are the most arrogant & insufferable
No doubt. And Memorial Stadium has been amazing the last few games.I get what you are saying, but this program needs all the fan support it can get.
Weird, I coulda sworn it was 4. Oh well, guess I was mistaken. I just ordered my 2 for the game and passed on the extras. I don't have a lot of points so I wouldn't expect to get extras that were very good.Season ticket holders were given the opportunity to request an additional 8 seats over and above their season ticket seats.
I had to buy tickets to the Michigan game for a costumer and 4 were $1400. So I'm guessing the playoff tickets will be a little more than a couple hundo on the secondary market.I’m not a season ticket holder, but I’d pay a couple $100 for some nosebleeds if anyone would have an extra ticket or 8!
Yeah, in hindsight I shoulda ordered 8 and scalped them. Oh well.I only requested our two seats and no extras. I was going to order 1 extra for my daughter but I don't have a lot of points so a friends parents ordered one for her but I was a bit surprised on how many extra you could request.
You’ll likely be able to finally meet Cavanaugh when he shows up in the seat in front of you for the playoff if it happens.I'm a long-time season ticket holder but I agree with your take.

I'll also add that the seats on either side of me, and the entire row in front of me have been occupied by different people every single game for the last two years. I've never met the actual owner of any of those seats. I'm not a fan of the idea that the "fan(s)" who actually have those season tickets can actually get more tickets to sell for a playoff game. On the bright side, at least this season the seats around me have actually been occupied by IU fans and not those from visiting schools. And we all know that the owners of those tickets are basketball-only fans, using the football tickets for priority points. Selling them each week negates the cost, and in a year like this, probably makes them a buck or two. Maybe even enough to grab a couple of seats for a Notre Dame game or two.
