10,000 Empty seats for Bedlam...really?

[Shiznitttt]

Nov. 27--For Saturday's Bedlam football game, Oklahoma State allotted 5,000 tickets to the University of Oklahoma. Those tickets were priced at $125. Reportedly, it's the most expensive single-game ticket in college football this season. For Oklahoma State fans, admittance is reserved for season-ticket holders.

As of this week, OSU's season-ticket sales total was slightly less than 43,000. The Boone Pickens Stadium capacity is 60,218, resulting in the likelihood of about 10,000 empty seats for Bedlam.

OSU will sell season tickets Saturday at the south and north side box offices at Boone Pickens Stadium beginning at 1 p.m.

For fans who wish to purchase from the university instead of doing business with a ticket website, here are Bedlam options:

--A few tickets, priced at $384 apiece, remain for seats in the west end zone. Also available is a four-ticket, $1,200 package in the west end.

--There are 50 season-ticket seats that require no donor fee, at $479 each.

--And there are season-ticket seats in prime locations, also priced at $479 but requiring donations from $100 to $1,500 per seat.


If this is true OSU has a ****ing retard running the ticket sales in Stillwater.

[soonerchk]

Oh, it's true.

[CatfishSooner]

Re-Tards!!!1 BAWAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHA!!!!

[5noubus]

There are scalpers on every corner with handfuls of tickets from200/275 each. Wonder if they will go down closer to the game.

Stupid aggies.

They are selling SEASON TICKETS TODAY? Makes since. It is the last game of the regular season! And they call SOONERS money-grubbing cheaters! :rolleyes:

[sooner59]

How embarrassing that must be.

[booomer]

It's to their detriment not to fill up their stadium for this game! The same people that run the Lloyd Noble must be in charge of Boone Pickens Stadium.

[oumartin]

that place will be full by kickoff. They are trying to suck every penny they possibly can before they have a fire sale right before kickoff.

There is nothing but morons up there on that campus

[3rdgensooner]

Do you have a link for this article?

[waynepayne]

*sigh* its so nice knowing OSUJeff wont be showing up to defend this nonsense.

Don't count on it. I know that if I was stupid enough to go and buy a season ticket on the last day of the season just to get in that place, and then found out that they had altered the policy and sold single game tickets at face value, there would be he!! to pay! Besides, if I remember correcctly, they had this same policy in place the last time we played up there and didn't have the place full for the game.

[usaosooner]

Pokes would do anything to "create" a homefield advantage

[stoopified]

That is Mike Holdup for ya.Robbery is his game.

Thank you

[silverwheels]

Normal people would be embarrassed. OSU fans are proud of things that would embarrass most normal people.

It's been in every paper from Dallas north. Do you read a newspaper?

:pop:

[sooner59]

Heh, read the comments from the article. One poke fan is hoping overcharging people will keep out some "uo" fans, and that he doesn't mind a few empty seats. LOL

[booomer]

Stupid aggies.


Heh! Succinct and concise. Nuff said, really.

[StoopTroup]

It's why I didn't go. The only way you'll get a cheap seat is if you wait until after the game starts and folks start to panic that they are gonna eat them.

I wouldn't pay a poke face value for one.

[StoopTroup]

Heh, read the comments from the article. One poke fan is hoping overcharging people will keep out some "uo" fans, and that he doesn't mind a few empty seats. LOL

The University of stoolwater shouldn't be allowed to sell opposing fans tickets priced more than their own fans. Dispicable. If true...I think OU should send them 5000 next year priced at 10,000 dollars a piece.

[sooner59]

Heh. That would be funny.

[mdklatt]

Problem: How do we stop dem durn gooners from making fun of us because the only time we can sell out our small stadium is when we play them?

Solution: Don't sell out our small stadium when they play them.


BRILLIANT!

WE playin there NEXT year ya Dumas:rolleyes: :P

[StoopTroup]

WE playin there NEXT year ya Dumas:rolleyes: :P

Yeah i forgot about that.

I'm getting in the car now....

MUTHER ?****ERS ! ! !@%$#@%&

[mdklatt]

The University of stoolwater shouldn't be allowed to sell opposing fans tickets priced more than their own fans.

It's even worse than this. The only way for oSu fans to go to this game is to buy a season ticket, so they're the ones that are getting gouged by their own AD.

:D

[olevetonahill]

Yeah i forgot about that.

I'm getting in the car now....

MUTHER ?****ERS ! ! !@%$#@%&

I have NEVER been to a game there , Only been in Stoolwater once and that was just at the Airport, then I was gone again :D

[Section 9]

It's really pitiful that the osu fans don't understand they are affected by the policy, too.

[AlboSooner]

This is embarrassing. Your team has a chance to win the South for the first time and the game is not sold out.

[mdklatt]

It's really pitiful that the osu fans don't understand they are affected by the policy, too.

They do. The ticket policy and prices are very controversial amongst the sheep shaggers.

[soonervegas]

I have been to Stillwater twice. I should have stopped at one...

[mdklatt]

This is embarrassing. Your team has a chance to win the South for the first time and the game is not sold out.

Maybe T. Boone will pony up the hedge fund futures to buy out the remaining season tickets so they can give them away before the game. I think they did something like this in the past.

[Section 9]

Do they still spread the OU fans out through the crowd so they don't sit together?

[StoopTroup]

I've been ther for a bunch of games and not just OU v osu games. Been there at old rustoleum to try and root Tulsa to a win there a few times when I was younger. My Uncle is a Booster for TU. I like anyone who would beat the pokes especially on their home field.

[tulsaoilerfan]

I guess the Pokes have enough of ole T Bones money that they don't need the extra 1 million bucks they could make by selling out the place; what a bunch of inbred idiots

[85sooners]

:D

[SoonerInFortSmith]

^This

[ouwasp]

I think I heard this suggested before...

Why don't the pokes arrange some sort of non-transferable deal with Ft. Sill and Vance AFB so servicemen could have a game to go to? Have them pony up maybe $20 each if money is such a big deal.

It would be good for the troops and it would fill the stadium. :)

[Section 9]

I couldn't care less if osu fills their stadium. Hope they never do. :)

[thecynic]

It was the same way two years ago, and by kickoff, most of those seats were filled. I don't remember how they did it, but they did.

[OUthunder]

If this is honestly true, then we should do what Stoop said in two years and allot them the 5000 seats that we must, but price them at $1000 per ticket.

I have seen enough orange out and about today, to last a lifetime. OU must win, so that these bandwagon fans put those ugly damn orange outfits away for another ****ing year.

Pour me a ****ing drink, oSu sucks ****!

[StoopTroup]

They really didn't need to give me another reason to hate them....

Every now and then someone in stoolwater is gonna get drunk and leverage their trailer for tickets when it's teh B3Dlamb!

[3rdgensooner]

[olevetonahill]

I would rather sit in My Out house and watch the game on an etch a sketch as to sit in their stadium :D

[StoopTroup]

I'm pretty sure I'd be in jail already,,,,

Jail aint so bad, cept there ya prolly have to wear that orange shat :mad:

[Rickety_Syd]

Very true ... and very sad.
They hate OU so much that they would prefer to have the stadium half full with their own fans, than to have it full with the help of OU fans.

[StoopTroup]

If they can't stand us...they should leave with Nebraska and Colorado. At least they were smart enough to know when they were screwed. Nobody likes getting beat like a drum by us 80-100% of the time....yet aggie continues to whine and scratch and claw for a once in a decade win that will sell orange bumper stickers.

[MichiganSooner]

I just live in Oklahoma and it is common knowledge regarding AD Mike Holder's stupid ticket policy. It's been in the papers and on the tv and radio stations. They have sold 43,000 season tickets and so 43,000 + 5000 bought by our people does not fill up their stadium. I thought everybody else knew about it. So, why link?

[Whet]

Well, this is one goomer sitting in their stadium.

Boomer Sooner!!"

[flyou11]

that place will be full by kickoff

It won't be full. I went two years ago and they had the same policy. Sat up in the top corner and there were plenty of seats around us. Never sold out, never will. osu sucks

Not everyone is a Sooner Fan. There is a lot of us....that's for sure....and the Football World does revolve arOUnd us.....it's just that some folks don't read well. Many of them did their learnin' Dexter Manley style or believed their granpappy who flunked out of A&M before making it big in the sheep business.

[SoonerMom2]

Their season ticket prices are higher than OU's as well. This should be against Big 12 rules the way they are handling tickets by selling season tickets at the end of the season.

No matter how many games they win in a year, they will always be a second rate university when you handle ticket sales like this. Absolutely zero class as they will do anything to keep OU from having more than 5,000 people in the stands.

They have proved once again with their actions they don't belong as a major Division I program. Never heard of such nonsense out of another Div I school. They may have changed their name but they will always be Aggies IMO and that is not a compliment.

Stoolwater has an airport? Is it pigs flying, or is that just when they beat OU?

I asked for the link so that I could share the specific information using a credible source. I don't follow osu ticket sales trends, because, well, I typically don't care.
