Anyone know if it is sold out?? Cyclones.com reports that the game is on KDSM, but TV guide says the UNI vs Iowa game is on.

Anyone have any info please?

We're at 6pm, Iowa and UNI play at 8pm.

In the ISU release, I believe it states the game is on KDSM.

ISU 61 Drake 60

Looks to be not even close to sold out. According the ticker at Drake's website, there are less than 1000 left. Pretty sad considering the place only holds like 7000. I did a check for 2 in the upper deck. You can get midcourt 10th row. Think there's a few more than 10 rows..

They've also changed the ticketing. It seems they're letting students into the non-stuent sections. And the student ticket price is $0. So I'd say sales are sluggish at best.

I believe the ISU vs. Iowa women's game is on Mediacom tonight.

I looked at mediacom connections and it indicated that the ISU vs. Iowa women's game is to be shown at 7:00. I'm from Mason City and cyclones.com states that clonezpne is the only thing showing the game up here.

Lets face it boys...Drake botched the ticket sales to this game. You could NOT even buy tickets until 2 weeks prior to the game. I went over there the day single game tickets went on sale and was told NO TICKETS TO ISU UNTIL 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO GAME...


My response ...keep your tickets and i will keep my money....will be looking forward to the game on tv tonite with my refreshments close by...


If Drake cant sell this game out THEY GOT PROBLEMS!!!

This game used to sell out Vets Auditorium at 12000 plus fans in attendance, well I guess Ms Clubb knows what shes doing...Not a chance boys!!!!!!!!!!!:biglaugh:

I think this reflects poorly on ISU fans as well. In the past ISU fans would buy up all the remaining tickets, and this is why Drake could sell the tickets for a higher price. Now the majority of fans rather stay at home. If ISU fans would pack the place, it would negate any type of home court advantage for Drake.

The problem is they doubled the normal ticket price for our game. $30+ cost per ticket after all of the BS fees is pretty tough to swallow to watch a game in a high school gym.

$30 is football ticket prices not basketball. Honestly I would look to go to this game, but jeez, there is no where to park, and that gym is such a dump.

I agree with all of this, but this sounds familiar to another situation this year, hmmm...oh yeah the Iowa football game ticket issue. Atleast they are still selling single game tickets, which I thought was brilliant by Jamie, just stating a fact. I will be watching the 1st half on TV then I have child birth classes with my wife, damn.

Even though I bent over and took it from the ticket office (I'm going to the game) I agree with a lot of you on here. Hopefully the Drake ticketing people realize they've hit the ceiling on pricing and come down just a hair in 2 years. Now if I can only get out of Drake's neighborhood alive...

We didn't double the price to the Iowa game (at least not to ISU fans).

It's just as expensive to see the Iowa State-Drake game in the Knapp Center than it is to see Iowa State-Iowa in Hilton. Drake wants to be on the same level as Iowa State and Iowa but they are not.

That being said, it's their arena so they can do whatever they want...up to them how they run things.

Childbirth classes??? jeez, the only thing you need to know about childbirth is the anethesiolgists name so you can tell him to get her a damn epidural! We did the childbirth classes, what a big waste of time. So skip the classes, get the drugs, and watch the game!
