Do you think that Lew Perkins will claim the crowd split for this year's MU-KU game at Arrowhead will be a 70-30 split in favor of the beaks again this year?
Last week, Alnutt warned that Missouri’s allotment of 30,000 tickets might be insufficient to warrant a planned Monday sale to the public through Ticketmaster.com. In light of that, Missouri fans have been buying tickets from KU’s allotment of 30,000 tickets for the Nov. 29 game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Jim Marchiony, Kansas associate athletic director for external relations, told The Star on Wednesday evening that only 100 to 150 single tickets remained for sale through KU. He said the school had offered its Williams Fund ticket holders the first crack at KU’s allotment.
“Ninety to 95 percent were gone by the time we made them available to the general public,” Marchiony said.
He said that KU was holding back 3,000 tickets for students to purchase once they return to campus.
The Chiefs, Alnutt said, hold an allotment of 20,000 tickets, those available first to season-ticket holders and special-interest groups associated with the NFL club.
The few remaining tickets from Missouri’s allotment, Alnutt said, are being reserved for Tiger Scholarship Fund contributors and other financial boosters. The rest have been purchased through the student ticket program and by scholarship fund members.
Which will then be sold to the highest bidder on the secondary market... I predict the average buyer will be a Tiger fan.
Maybe them beaks ain't all that bad after all.
