MassLive has a contest giving 4 tickets and dinner for 4 at CBS Scene for the Indiana game. They have been running a quarter page ad a few times this week in The Republican daily and in today's Sunday paper. Good publicity for Western Mass readers.

According to Ticketmaster:

Section 106 = Maybe 25% sold?
Section 107 = Sold out
Section 108 = 59 seats remaining (all upper section)
Section 109 = 3 seats remaining (all single)
Section 110 = 7 seats remaining (5 together, 2 singles)
Section 111 = About 100 seats left (all upper section)
Section 112 = About 2/3 sold

Still lots of work to do....

Anyone have any idea how many tickets have been sold? Anyone have predictions as to how many will ultimately be sold? I think the UConn loss might reduce the numbers a tiny bit, but I think a goal of 28-30K is realistic. Seems like there's a lot of interest in this one. Wish I could go. Have fun out there and be loud. Indiana is very beatable.

No idea. It will be hard to tell with this one. I wouldn't be surprised if we had 18k, I also wouldn't be shocked if we got 28k. My bet is somewhere around 25k with about 15k by the November games.

Indiana playing host to Indiana State tonight. Should be 1-0 heading to Gillette...

My prediction that I hope is way, way off is that we get close to, but less than 20K next Saturday. From what I can tell being out of state, UMass did a great job marketing, but there's only so much you can do. Also interested to see the student interest which might be a little lower because people will be settling in.

I think the best marketing UMass can have now is actually playing a game (and even better, winning) at Gillette. Kind of like making it official.

Need to see these sections sell out so more can be opened up.

Indiana beats Indiana State, 24-17. The Sycamores are an FCS team coming off a 6-5 season.

The fact that FCS Indiana State played Indiana to a one score game would've given me a little more hope for a good game against Indiana....IF we had moved the ball against UConn.

I watched most of the IU-ISU game. The Sycamores have a fast RB and a large and strong O-line compared to IU's D-line.

I guess we will see if coach is willing to simplify the offense some for his untested QBs.

I like Umass in this one. In espns bottom ten they ranked below us and I think the UMass players will be amped up to play at Gillette. That and hopefully the jitters on the O-line have time to clear up

25k? I'm concerned about getting to 10k. There are 7 sections for sale. 7. Seven.
