Syracuse ticket sales
- Thread starter Rebel1986
- Start date
Raiders it is for the year not sure on UNLV but most likely for the year as that is how they usually operate (minimum number of years contract too).
If you offer tickets that cheap, you would end up pissing off a lot of people that paid higher prices. I think when/if they sell out the end zone sections of seats, then they would open the section above at similar prices. Currently there are less that 200 seats left on the Northern end zone to sell. Considering there are around 1,500 seats or less to be sold in the bottom section, they have sold around 95% of the seats as of this morning. Considering there are 13 sections that have less than 30 ticket left, a small surge and ticket sales could end up opening some upper deck seats in the last few hours like they did in the MWC championship at the last minute.
The suites are set up and decorated per the owner/leaser wish. They are not sold per event. If a luxury box owner wants to go to the other events, then they need to buy a ticket to get access to the event, but can use their luxury box. The owners can also sell off the use of their suites for other events. See the attached which is one of the groups that sells off the use of the stadium suites for other events. Funny how the Wrestlemania event for Spring of next year is already sold out, while there are a bunch of available suites for Raider football. Also noticed they do not even list UNLV games, I wonder if that will change?
Allegiant Stadium
Rent luxury suites by the game at Allegiant Stadium and watch the Raiders from the comfort of a private box. Perfect for corporate events, business entertainment, family outings, birthdays, and special occasions.

Only 36 seats left between sections 105-141 on the north end zone. Wonder if these sell out if they will open sections above?
That's what I don't get. Tickets should be the loss leader. Get butts in the seats, concessions, merch, etc. follows.
I had a suite at Tim's Toyota Center (Now Findlay Toyota Center) in Prescott, AZ for 7 years. Only time I lost ownership was during special events. Like a Presidential rally or a graduation. And even then, I had first dibs. I believe that's pretty universal. If Jefferson's On Ice came to town, my suite went dark.
Did you also have video games in your room, a train that drove through your living room, and a black friend who danced with Michael Jackson in a Pepsi commercial?
I had to skateboard to 7-11 on DI and Mohave to play video games with change I stole from my dad's closet. When I created my alias it was because Spoonhour was supposed to be our savior and he was old as dirt.
Arrive Thursday and leave Sunday - round trip with 1 stop is about 800.00 plus 3 nights hotel , game tickets, food and beverage - expensive trip without gaming expenses. O/U 2000 from Syracuse 🤔
This looks like the first half of Kansas game can’t stop them at all. This is worse because they started both drives deep.
Lower bowl section 129-139 is about 70/30 Syracuse fans. The other 30 sections are 95%rebel red. My guess is 33k total fans
Wow that's awesome! By the sounds of it Syracuse is 10K of that.
Here's a fun Fact. I recently made fun of a friend's stadium. Not knowing the facts, I told this person to tune into the UNLV game to see a real stadium. We're playing in a PRO stadium that fits 65k people. Welp, they were a Tennessee fan. Their stadium sits 104k people. They sell out every game. The Super Bowl averages 70k. WTF?
Needles to say, their beer is cheaper.

Last night showed the good, the frustrating and dopey.
UNLV fans had that place rocking. You can see how that barn could become a real home field advantage. It got loud. You get that place up to 35-40k it will make a difference. People were engaged all night.
It's frustrating to me this town can't show up in bigger numbers. And this goes back to my concerns about staying behind in the MWC. Attendance numbers (revenue) are going to possibly take a hit when conference play starts and you're playing a weaker (Less desirable) conference schedule.
And the dopey..Folks when your team is on offense stop doing the REEEEBELLLLS chant. It's quiet time on offense until after the play.

Was it loud then? Any guess as to % of Syracuse fans? 31K is good attendance if we could do that every game that would be respectable 35K would be great would put us even with Boise. Too many pro teams and transient population to get higher than that I think.
From the looks of the crowd shots, I'd say 5 or 6k from Syracuse... they really filled in their side, and were loud enough to be heard on TV all night
It was as loud as I have heard for Rebels game including Boise last year.
I hate to venture a guess at Syracuse contingent. 5k? Maybe 6k? It was pretty significant.
Agree on the Pro sports thing. The Aces drew 10k last night for playoff game. If there's no Aces game you maybe draw another 2k maybe 3k of that.
Transient fans and years of bad results. People are slow to jump on the wagon vs VGK that had a horrific tragedy that created a bond with the city and instant success bolstered that. Plus being first major franchise.

I could be wrong here but I feel like you'd get 3-5k more fans in if they opened up more of the upper sections at lower prices. A lot of people are interested but don't have it in their budget to spend 60-100 per ticket. I get it that you'd rather fill the lower bowl, but IMO, once you get people to their 1st game, it's easier to get them back regularly. I know for me, I was worried about parking, traffic, etc the 1st time. Now that I've done it multiple times, its no big deal
I will take it at least as a place to start if they could add 5K to that we would be in a good place.
I was there 2 full sections , probably 8-10,000
People look at attendence numbers. Offer lower prices to get them in the door. That helps our viability to be looked at as a school that can move up to p4.
Exactly, that's my point. Work out some deals with CCSD, the hospitals, casinos, unions, etc to fill as many seats as possible.
I really like the involvement of CCSD idea. Give every kid a voucher (not tickets) in class and have the parents redeem them online if they want to attend. Low cost for the upper bowl.
This way, the cost is relatively low and we start the kids dreaming of continuing their education later in life (I know that college isn't for everyone but if kids can start to idolize those who 'made it' out of tough environments, then they will likely see that they, too, have a path).
I heard somewhere, maybe here that UNLV gets to keep all revenue from their home games? I wasn't sure about that, because I thought the Raiders could get a cut or all of the concessions. This is why I thought game tickets were high based off the availability.
But if the school keep concessions? Offer 10K to students every game. Reduce ticket prices and fill that place up. I'm sure you will net more revenue that way with the concessions, even with higher staffing costs. It also gets people to the games, our metrics look better, and I think it will drive up interest for future games and TV ratings because the product is good.

Season tix are pretty damn cheap for college football.
Individual tix prices could be a little better.
Do they offer season tickets in the upper sections? Or just the lower? Again, if you offered those seats in the upper sections for season tickets at a significantly lower price, like they do at the T&M with hoops, I'd think you'd get a lot more buyers.
I may bite the bullet next year and get season tickets. I try to make several games a year, but always seem to be out of town or have something come up for half of the home games.
The season tickets they offer are pretty dang cheap as is. Lowest option comes out to $25/game ($150 total)
I suppose they could open upper sections, but how much lower could they go? $125 total or $100 total? Not sure that difference would really entice many more buyers, but who knows.
I think single game tickets could definitely be lower, especially if they are trying to fill the place.
Depends on your goal. If you want to sell as many seats as possible, why not try? Even if it's only like $15/seat, $75 for the season in the upper deck. Most people would still probably pay more to be in the lower bowl, but why not make 3-4 upper sections available and see what happens? Or maybe offer big groups of those seats to CCSD, MGM, and a lot of the other big companies and unions around town.
