There is a great Athletic article relating to this, so I've copied a relevant portion. The rest of the article covers the difficult decision of how to disperse tickets. Do they go strictly by donor amount, donor lottery, students only, etc. Some hard questions to answer.
That person works at one of the (Power 5) schools that sells out most, if not all of the time. This person has modeled dozens of different seating configurations in an attempt to maximize seating capacity using their state’s current social distancing guidelines. The best they can do given the current guidelines — which certainly could change over the next three months — is between 18 and 22 percent of capacity.
