Fake sellout streak update

Nebraska’s historic sellout streak faces uncertainty as ticket sales lag

The Husker football season is about three weeks away. One of the major topics of discussion among fans is the team’s home game sellout streak, the longest in college football history.

Not a single game is sold out yet, these numbers are from the AD itself, they say official capacity for tickets is 82,000.

We need a storm to hit about 10,000 seats

I like how the article says it's all about tradition.
Well a great, smart, physical and disciplined team used to be the tradition too.. Nobody cares about that anymore.

Let the streak die on Rhule's watch.

There will be a bandaid approach and action to keep the streak alive. Its about all that's left to cheer hard for, but long time since its been earned.

What did they expect. Crap product and treat season ticket holders for granted

Yep. Selling open seats to a corporation for pennies on the dollar who will then donate them and write them off while others will continue to pay manageable season ticket fees with astronomical mandatory donations for the same product.

The streak was dead long ago. But the tradition collation wouldn’t let it end on the Golden boy’s watch.

 

[QAnon399535]

Bad economy.

Fact. Should have let it die back then.

FUBAR. But I digress.

I was hoping it ended under the golden boy frost’s tenure it would have been a perfect fit

I would have if TO and the tradition Colition wouldn’t have stepped in.

If AD allows the sell-out streak to end his time at NU is officially over. I assume he will beg/borrow/and steal to get it done...but everybody knows what is going on and like OSU in 2021, people just won't show up in the stadium and empty seats don't lie.

Fans packed in like a can of mushrooms, mediocre product at best, new players year in and year out, ridiculous ticket prices, horrible scheduling: Why would anyone want to go to these games?

 

[OctavianDillard]

Bad economy.

 

[davecisar]

Saw this coming miles away. Many more open seats in the last few years. Many of the season. Ticket holders sitting near me- are now gone- started going in 1970. Gave the tickets up this year- not going through all the hurdles and terrible amenities etc for poorly coached football. I’m not the only one. South end zone fans treated like homely red headed step children.

But, Dannen brought you chicken strips and fancy corn!

And with all this, the AD wants to alienate and crap on generational season ticket holders. What an absolute IDIOT.

Part of me thinks he wants to sellout streak to end. I don't think he actually likes the tradition of Husker football.

There are too many seats. However, the sellout streak even with propping it up is impressive.


The amount of people Nebraska puts into the seats on consistent basis is truly one of a kind, especailly considering the past twenty years. It is impressive and worth celebrating.

WE need to win now.

Corporations have been buying up tickets and giving them away for over 50 years.

Is this due to the reseating? A number of friends with season tickets gave them up this year. All of them said they felt the process was unfair to long time, loyal fans who year in and year out gave their support. Yes, I know, it is all about money. I also know NU does a very poor job of reaching out to fans for donations. Is the Beef club still going? Or did that go by the wayside also?

I don't think it's any specific reason, just a convergence of lots of issues, mediocre team, overpriced tickets, bad non con schedule, bad PR recently for the athletic department in terms of fan treatment. Uncomfortable seating and unenjoyable in stadium experience.

Fans are at fault the losing. Fans have accepted that winning is not a top priority, which is really backwards and messed up and ADs and coaches are universally highly competitive ultra greedy people who recognize they don't need competence to get paid.

I hope the whirlwind is very strong and devastating and the whole place is laid bare as quickly as possible. So we can get someone smart, energetic, principled who cares about winning more than their paycheck.
