45K Sold!

What was the point of posting this in the season ticket thread and then starting a new thread?
So that people who haven’t been following that thread—or stopped following it—can see it?
Didn’t think it was rocket science, but since you made a big deal out of it, I can go delete the one in that thread.
Just how high can we reach? Lets say we actually get to the conference championship game, what are the numbers going to be like for 2020?
Its great to be a Cyclone

It's amazing what having a good coach does
Unless the AD takes some of the single game tickets and turns them into season tickets, not much more than 45K is the max. There are currently only 166 season tickets left on the website (all at the $499 level).
If he were to make all single game tickets available for season ticket purchases, the absolute max would probably be around 50K. The remaining 11,500 would be visitors, media, players and coaches families, band, recruits, group sales, etc.
But would it be that bad if the only way a non student could get tickets for a game was if they were a season ticketholder for a few seasons, or purchased on the secondary market? Keep the Jr. Cyclone club, and then reach a point where the only tickets for the general public are season tickets and those left over from the visiting team.
That is were we are with men's basketball, and that has not seemed to hurt.
If Campbell keeps winning here, that will probably happen. Chizik (ducks for cover) said this fanbase was a ticking time bomb waiting for success so it can explode. Its happening.
I wonder if there is a little manipulation going on by the Ticket Office. Are all the top rows in the upper deck corners really sold out as season tickets (or being held for the mobile packs)?
Id guess that some of those could have been season tickets but instead they were released to donors for single game tickets.
A target was set around 45k, and they set that up in the seats.
Maybe next year they release a few less to donors if new season tickets are going well
I think we will slowly grow over the next decade with a young alumni base that continues to choose to live in Iowa.
That said, this year may be a bit of a short term peak with a 7 game home schedule that includes Iowa and UNI.
As long as our stadium capacity sits at 61,500, we won't sell many more than 45k season tickets. That's about the peak.
Ticket prices however...

Even if we made the conference title game I'd guess season tickets would stay steady or fall a little bit next year because I'm guessing there are quite a few Iowa fans buying cheap ones for this year and selling games not named Iowa to pay for them.
Only on CF can someone post a thread about a huge milestone never reached before in ISU football history for season ticket sales, and the very first response is someone criticizing them.
Who cares if there's 10 threads on this? It's a huge accomplishment for this program.

I doubt if there is anymore than a handful of Iowa fans buying season tickets to ISU then selling the rest of them. Why go through all that hassle, when they could pick any game at Iowa to get tickets too or just buy them on the secondary market.
Iowa is not like Nebraska years ago where every game was sold out and the only way to see them play was to go on the road. Hell, I really doubt many Nebraska fans were doing it either.
