Ol’ Kent must have quite a set to put a 50% “processing” fee on the playoff tickets. Had to beg fans to come to the PSU game a couple weeks ago with cheap tix. Now he thinks he can get people in the stands after that debacle last weekend. Awful lot of green dots on the seating map. Could be less than half full Saturday night
 
The Thanksgiviing playoff game usually has only just over the stadium occupied, but those crowds are still good and loud. Attendance is based mostly on the date, not on the quality of team or opponent.

I assume the ticket price, or most of it, goes to the NCAA. I assume the processing fee goes to UM.

Typical Thanksgiving weekend attendance.

Primo tickets are thirty bucks, nearly all of which goes to the ncaa. Seems reasonable that UM should recoup some of their costs for holding the game by adding a service fee. Even at that the tickets are cheaper than a game against, say, bsc powerhouse noco.

Man, UM fans spoiled.

UM fans pay the highest per-ticket costs in the FCS for horrible games like Portland State. Primo tickets to the playoff game are $75 each, which I'm guessing is more than any other FCS playoff game.

UM claims around 14,000., which is a lie.

14,000 2 years ago is the number of tickets sold for the playoff game during the week (Thanksgiving) before the game. UM stadium has 47 suites. When I was in a box, each suite had to buy 8 tickets, and could buy 8 more. If as you say, UM requires box holders to commit in advance to buy playoff tickets, I assume the committed amount is 8. If every suite had to buy 8X47 tickets, that's only 376 tickets. I assume most of those people attend or give the tickets to someone who will attend. If half didn't attend, that would inflate attendance by 188 tickets.

Who do you think buys tickets for the Thanksgiving playoff game, and then doesn't attend or give their tickets away? I would assume virtually no one.

UM isn't going to inflate tickets sold for playoff games, because the NCAA gets most of that ticket sale money.
