At the end of the day, the main focus here is that SALES WENT UP 153%. Which means more ppl are interested in our program. That's a good way to look at it. Most of us have been to the games. Just picture the average attendance that you've seen, multiply that by 2.5, and that's about 150% increase right there. I do beleive that if the Miami game ends in a victory or a very close defeat (less than 10 pts), more ppl will attend more games and tix will go even higher.
But anyways, back to the topic of this thread… I'm definitely looking forward to the restaurant. Go to FAU game, then go to the restaurant, order a schnellenBURGER w/ caramelized onions and bacon, w fries on the side, and whatever beer they have on tap, and watch whatever marquis power 5 conference match up is on.
GO OWLS!!!

So either the game tickets were released for same early or our season tickets have skyrocketed by more that 150% OR UM is having access to these tickets before FAU fans are.
Which would be wrong AND a bad thing to have more Um fans at OUR stadium, maybe even blocking OUR fans out if they sell out before OUR fans can purchase them.

I forget where but I read that ticket sales for the UM game were already over 20K. My question is how is that possible if single game tickets don't go on sale till 30 days before the game. That game is still 2 months away and more like 10 weeks when I read that?

For the Miami game single game tickets will be going on sale starting July 13th to the general public.
What we did was for the our current Season Ticket Holders ONLY is we have been having a pre sale for them to purchase extra tickets to the Miami game even before those are available on July 13th. So with the increase of Season Ticket Holders this season and the pre sale for the Miami game, that is why there are over 20K tickets sold/out. Tickets in corporate pacakages is a very small portion, not as many as most think.
Our fans have gotten the opportunity to purcahase extra tickets to this game before the general public and get the best available seating. So we have been taking good care of our people first.

That sounds great John, and thanks for the info!
After I wrote that earlier I looked online and saw the dates for the single game sales for season ticket holders and the general public for each game. I al;so saw tickets available online through the ticker broker sites at some good and also some rediculous prices, I think up to $237 or so on the only two sections shown available on the home side. Hope it is a sell-out AND an UPSET!

John Z, I don't know who was responsible for that decision, but that was one of the best /smartest things FAU has done for ticket sales in a while. I think Georgia Owl wants the stadium to be filled with Owl fans. Same with me. I would love to have Miami fans only have access to the normal amount of visitor tickets .Posted On: Jul 5th 2015, 3:34 PM #346362
Correct 100% LocalOwl, definately don't want it to be basically a UM home game, although I do know that will possibly be the case. But I am hoping for at least a 60/40 Owls split! And an Owls WIN!! Go Owls!!!

Thank you. We as a staff, ticket sales and athletic department, want to make sure that our loyal fans get the most reward for their continued support.
I am with everyone in saying that I want to look around that full stadium on Sept. 11th and see all the blue and red shirts supporting FAU. One thing to remember though is FAU is such a young program that most of our fans also support other Florida schools. As much as you would love to shut out Miami fans other than their tickets, a lot of the Miami fans live in the Boca area, and could possibly come back for more games this season and for the future years. I look at this game as an opportunity for us to continue to grow our already growing fan base, with Miami fans who live close, are tired of driving down to Miami on Saturdays, and just want to see good D1 football.
