So we all know that NU sold out its 10,000 allotment within two days, with demand being so high that non-STH's were shut out entirely from that pool of tickets. We also know that 3,500 students have signed up for the (incredible) free ticket/transportation/food package. Knowing our students, let's assume we lose 500 of them to attrition. That's 13,000 guaranteed fans in purple -- which would probably already be the biggest contingent I've ever seen outside of Ryan Field (I wasn't around for '95/'96). A number of our Fitz-era bowl games have had 11-12k, but not much higher than that.
The big Q is how many NU fans who don't have season tickets and aren't current undergrads are buying seats through the secondary market? I'd guess a few thousand, at least, right? Demand was really strong, apparently.
So, should the over/under be 15,000? Predictions?
