St. Eds sells out...final game!!

[EagleSE]

St. Edward sold out their allotment of tickets (6,617) today (Wednesday) at about 1:00PM.

Any chance St.Ed's will be able to acquire more from the state?

According to an article in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Elder got 11,000. Where'd the rest go?

yeah, they should get 11,000 and we should get 11,000 ...... whats up with this. im gunna cry...

I bet both teams got 11,000. I wonder if St. E reported the number 'available' for sale - after they sell to teachers, staff, football parents, etc... ???

That is not what happened. Its about your presale last week that determines the tickets

So then the OHSAA doles out the allocation based on "last week's" sales? I'd still be curious then, what happens to the five thousand + tickets? Wouldn't it make sense to give more to SEHS since their allocation sold out so quickly?

 

[no-sweat]

i'd buy some

Elders and SEHS tixs sold out equally. OHSAA needed tickets for their books.

The OHSAA sold tickets for all six games in packages. Also, they like to put a thousand or so on sale the day of the game. St. Eds did only receive 6,600 tickets and I imagine Elder received around 11,000. Sure doesn't seem fair to me, but that's the OHSAA for you.
