That is old world thinking

Lots of tickets are silently resold in blocks to corporations or attached to donations that are not reflected in face value printed on tickets. If the NCAA went to actual turnstile turns and not inflated ticket sales the numbers would be more glaring.


That still means they’re sold out.

I guess attendance might be a little lower, but I would still like to see stats that back that up. Stadiums are getting bigger so there are probably more open seats but I have to believe there are just as many people as ever going to games.

It is the dirty little secret nobody wants to own up to.

Say the NCAA March Madness is sold out but if you went you saw thousands of empty seats. The get some corporation to buy say 5,000 seats for 1.00 just to claim it is sold out. When the game is going on they never let the camera get to the dead spots so it looks full when it is not.
