Season ticket sales at 57,000

[Freak]

I read where Tennessee has sold 57,000 season tickets this year and is hoping to get to 60,000, a number which hasn't been reached in several years per the Sports Animal.

Anyone know the record for most season tickets ever sold?

 

[PastorVolFan]

Not sure about the record, but I remember when season tickets were waiting list only. That's been years ago...but I would guess this latest number indicates a resurgence.

Sounds promising!

 

[Chilmonty]

I bet Hart is liking this!! :rock:

I know they're still offering tickets(lower south endzone) to donors without another donation required.

+1 to this. This is how I'll be picking up mine.

That's the season ticket sales for a team coming off 4 straight losing seasons.

And in the next thread, someone here will whine about how UT fans are impatient.

Sorry that my pointing out errors of logic bothers you so much. But I don't come here to launch personal attacks. Clearly you have me bested there.

I guess, according the Sports Animal, several years means the last two.

Thanks for posting. Although, those figures are sad to look at.

If somebody was in a coma from 2003 and just came out of it and asked how the vols have been doing, you could simply show them that and they'd figure it out pretty quickly

Part of it's the product on the field, but at the same time a lot of it is same problem most teams are facing: TVs and television broadcasts being to the point of the living room becoming a more and more preferable viewing venue to more and more fans (especially with ticket prices rising).

 

[RiseToTheTop]

They might get to about 65k.

Were there no numbers released for 2013's sales?

Were there no numbers released for 2013's sales?

I don't know about definitive, final numbers, but there are a few references to "less than 2012 sales" and ~58k being sold.

I would have expected a slight bump from Jones alone, but I guess it didn't materialize.

Despite most of the mentions of 2013 sales being taken from the same source, most of them say "about 58k" while one lists it at 57,300, from the same point in time as 2012.

Either way, not good numbers.

I don't think there's any question. I know quite a few long-time season ticket holders who just decided the continued rising cost isn't worth it when you can watch every game on television. It's an understandable stance.

It is, but if we continue to have games like the Georgia and SC games like last year, I will continue to be there and I think there will be at least a partial return.

That being said, I would be there regardless

It's very disappointing to see but expected really.

Might put them back in a coma...

How soon before this thread goes to "Fulmer fired and ticket sales have plunged"? If not here this provides ammo for the other thread.
