They are basing that on Neyland Stadium having 102,455 seats which it doesn't. I believe Deerpark said they cap tickets distributed at around 96,500. The 102,455 figure includes everyone in the stadium (concession workers, EMTs, police, ticket takers, press, etc.).
Neyland Stadium - Facilities - University of Tennessee Athletics
"While the addition of the state-of-the-art East Club slightly reduced the stadium's overall capacity, it did keep the capacity at the imposing six-figure mark. The new official capacity of 102,038 kept Neyland as the fourth-largest college football facility in the country and the largest in the South. "
102,038 is seating capacity
But Fulmer, who paused the stadium renovation after taking over as athletic director nearly two years ago, acknowledged that stadium capacity is “not as big a deal as it used to be.” He added that Neyland Stadium doesn’t necessarily seat 100,000 fans today and said “everybody’s having the same issue” when it comes to filling seats.
“Truthfully, we’re not above 100,000 right now. We’re about 98,5(00) or 98,6(00) or something like that,” Fulmer said Tuesday during his appearance on “Sports Talk” on 99.1 The Sports Animal.

They know they’re screwed because they’re trying to offer credits worth 120% of how much you spent on a cancelled event. I received an email this morning from them saying they cancelled my sale due to the "event being deemed cancelled." Fine with me but I feel for whoever bought mine due to the credit thing I just mentioned.Stub hub is probably in deep water. I’d imagine they won’t easily refund any money
