Lot of empty seats…

[JordanF0705]

Really disappointing to see so many empty seats for game one. Ironic considering several people were trying to sell for 4x+ face value.

If anyone is looking to get rid of theirs and put Tar Heels in the seats for game 2 (or 3 if necessary), I need a pair.

Doesn’t look that empty

 

[topoftheheel]

It’s hot as hades out there man

Not saying it isn’t.

but those ticket holders who didn’t want to support and sit in the heat could’ve found someone to use the tickets.

instead secondary market wants 5x face

 

[PonsterM]

The stadium was full all day until we fell apart. Folks are also taking breaks from the sun. It's hot as hell.

 

[THEericstrattonrushchairman]

We are down 9-5 and you are worried about seats? Interesting

I have had almost an entire row empty in front of me all day.

and it’s going to be even hotter tomorrow with an earlier start and tickets are even more expensive than today.

Nothing better to talk about than people trying to sell tickets and then leaving those same seats empty because they won’t let them go at reasonable prices.

Well, when those folks show up tomorrow, tell them what you think about them

 

[JordanF0705]

Controversial take? Sure. Has been all week about tickets and prices.

but seeing $120+ prices for tomorrow with the same heat temperatures knowing that there ARE people who would be in the seats and supporting the guys if they were at reasonable prices.

 

[JordanF0705]

If heat is the excuse today, then they certainly won’t be here tomorrow.

Well then keep complaining to all of us

On tv there were a lot of empty seats in the view behind the plate, first base side, and down the left field line
Some ticket holders got greedy
There were a good number of tickets left on the secondary markets an hour before the game, and most were still 10-20x face value

It's up to the Rams Club to deal with those folks. They know who scanned in and who didn't.

 

[jsim596]

Because people who already have more money than they’ll ever spend in their life value a few extra bucks more than they do UNC or UNC fans.

 

[UNC1789]

It’s hot as hades out there man

That’s really not an excuse, however this awful game time when most people are not even done working for the game is. **** ESPN.

Bit of an overstatement - a lot of people were in the shade of the concourse - it was hot as hades

 

[goheels1117]

Tickets were $25 to get in today an hour before the game.

 

[heels2012]

Thanks to whomever sold their tickets to the one USC fan in section 114 who was more obnoxious than any ECU fan I encountered last week. Much appreciated from the rest of us.

 

[JordanF0705]

More so referencing the ones prior to today.

expecting more of the same tomorrow ($120+ currently). We’ll see where it lands tomorrow. But regardless, seats need to be filled & help the boys comeback

 

[UNC76]

but seeing $120+ prices for tomorrow with the same heat temperatures knowing that there ARE people who would be in the seats and supporting the guys if they were at reasonable prices.

Personally, I think $120 IS a reasonable price for a Super Regional game, when you consider face for a lower level ticket for the dook hoops game is $300+.

 

[goheels1117]

As with every time it’s hot, the empty seats are largely a result of people standing in the concourse.

 

[jmhoneyc]

There shouldn’t be empty seats or a secondary market if Rams Club members who wanted tickets got their requests for tickets denied.

 

[PonsterM]

There shouldn’t be empty seats or a secondary market if Rams Club members who wanted tickets got their requests for tickets denied.

The only way to fix that is to make it so that if a Rams Club member buys Super Regional tickets that go unused, they can't buy them again the following year. Or they get points deducted. Or something. It's up to the Rams Club to create and enforce rules to ensure a full stadium.

 

[Tarheeltown50]

The concourse was slammed. Like couldn’t walk 10 feet without stopping. Sure a lot of people standing in shade accounted for a lot of those empty seats.

 

[BillsPill]

Concourse was 4-5 people deep. We sat in 113 for 2 innings, would go stand in shade on concourse for 2 innings. Rinse and repeat. Crowd was great, till it wasn’t. Grand slam took air out of the place.

My wife and I went to the Supers each of the last two years. She has a fair complexion and can't stay out in the sun for hours on end. I have no such issues thanx to my Italian lineage. So she had to make frequent trips to the concourse and the shade. So what do you think you saw next to me while she was on the concourse? And empty seat. I assure you she cheered just as hard from the concourse as she did from her seat!

 

[TommyAshley]

Official attendance listed at a tick under 4k.

It was hot. Props to anyone that came today...and major props to the folks that stayed in their seats most all of the game.

Bosh - and heck any baseball stands - is like a Jimmy Buffett song lyric....'don't try to describe the heat if you've never sat in it for nine innings....'

Still, nothing will ever beat USA Baseball complex and the super they beat Coastal .....

 

[fireandrain]

There was at least 500 people standing in the shade today

What seat/row were you in?

 

[ImaTarHeel]

The USC section had a lot of empties.

 

[Niceun]

Lots of folks in the shade in the concourse the whole game

 

[BillsPill]

The USC section had a lot of empties.

Yet several were scattered around. Always thought it wild when visitor section isn’t full but several fans sitting outside of visitor section. Guess that means, those folks didn’t buy from is but from UNC folks.

 

[HeWhoIsFondOfTheTarHeels]

Southern Cal section near first base had lots of empties. Rest of stadium did not. As many have stated, tons of people left their seats for the shady concourse, including me for a while. Crowd was excellent.

 

[goheels1117]

Under 4k is disappointing for game 1 of a Super Regional. If it was under capacity because the opponent didn’t sell their tickets, there should be some mechanism to recoup those X hours before game 1 and put them on sell.

Lots of people standing upstairs and in any shade they could find. I think it was pretty full.

 

[GoHeelsJP]

I'd like to know the second shade approx section 101 that was full of bosh workers and 3 or 4 USC fans at a table with their feet kicked up.

How do we let that happen?

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

It was soooo hot. When I went to get a drink in the 7th inning, it was hard to move it was so packed. The people beside me were there for the first three innings, but left and didn’t come back until the top of the sixth.
