Grapple On The Gridiron Ticket Sales

Yeah, it is just hard to tell the actual public that on a wrestling-specific forum.
Keep buying tickets people! Alternatively, someone should just buy all the remaining Reserved seats, that way it opens up GA for everyone else!
I love the idea ... I will be attending the football game at night but won't be taking in the match beforehand ... Makes for too long of a day ... I am guessing attendance will be in the 32,000 range ...

Rusty's real dad wouldn't let "too long of a day" get in the way of supporting his team.
Rusty's Dad will never make it to Wally World...and wouldn't even of thought of hitting this:

Looks like they just opened sections 106 and 126 to the public now. I am guessing that means that the GA option wont be available?
Interesting. Maybe all phone requests have been wanting actual seats?
Whatever it is, hopefully it won't be the ticket office standing in the way of max attendance. I haven't put as much thought in to it as the wrestling staff, but it seems that people might have liked the choice of reserved seats in 106/126 in the lower (20-40) section than the 70th row in 125. If it was going to be all reserved it should have just been open as such. Seems like maybe someone is trying to "force" the "best" seats, in their opinion, on purchasers.
Per Chad Leistikow (DM Register): BTN2GO will air Iowa-Oklahoma State live on Nov 14th. Regular BTN will air the bout, tape delayed, on Nov 15th at 6pm.
My understanding is no. The mat is going where it will go, no matter how many come in. That was part of the reason for the "reserved" seating. They will not move it. Surely they care MUCH more about the 6k season tickets, their 6k extras and the first 10,000 that get in to Carver if need be.
I like it and I don't. If I wasn't going I'd want it live....but I also want everyone who would watch it on an app to go watch it live. I hate "blackouts", but this one would be ok by me.
This is going to be a pretty special day...don't miss out, RD.
Does somebody have a cott he could borrow, so he can take a nap after the dual? #getrustysdadtothedual
Luke Eustice told the CR Gazette that all of the reserved seats (28,000) have been sold the only seats available will be general admission.
Disagree with the last sentence. This is an historic event for Iowa wrestling and college wrestling in general. A sport that desperately needs eyeballs in any way it can get them. I want as many people to witness this in whatever way they can. BTN2GO is pretty limited. I wish that one of the ESPNs, where is the Ocho when we need it, would pick this up at least on a tape delayed basis. Let the world know that Iowa City is the home of college wrestling. If we do this again, maybe we can figure out a way to hold it every sports network is showing college football.

It's been made pretty clear that the mat is staying in the south end zone. I haven't seen anything to the contrary. The additional fans that fill the stands heading toward the north end of Kinnick will still have a great time -- lots of fans will be watching on the big screen, anyway. The folks in the northern stands won't likely be diehard wrestling fans, in any case. They'll just be excited to be there and witness it.
So here we are on October 20 and it was about 70 degrees in central Iowa today. As we know, Iowa weather can change on a dime, but so far, so good! IMO, a beautiful day could add a few more thousand to the attendance.
I've never been to a college wrestling meet. I will be there. So will my wife and kids and a handful of others that have never been and likely never will go again to an Iowa wrestling meet.
I've talked to quite a few others that have never been either that will be there on 11/14.
If it was an every year thing? Nope. . Combined with a rivalry game that is due for an ass whoopin of revenge and a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of this day was just too much to pass up.
I don't know what that says about marketing.
I liken it to this. I hate soccer. All my friends hate that communist ****ing sport too.....but during the world cup? I watch every USA match.
We are Iowans and we will support Iowa. Hell, if ISU were trying this, I might even head down there....
My next question is this: Will PSU or even ISU try to break Iowa's attendance record by trying the same thing only making it during an Iowa dual? Bastards
As usual, another thread that you pollute just because you like to argue. You need a hobby or a wife.
I swear, you'd argue if I hung you with a new rope.

That's the spirit! This is what we need from the Iowa faithful, right here. I think this kind of thing is going to happen among lots of Iowa-fan families.
Appears the number is now around 29,000, and the Minnesota game has single tickets only available, so getting reasonably close to a sell out for Iowa's first Home November Night Game. Weather permitting, and the Hawks wrestle and play football well, could be one hell of a nice day.
Will be an interesting day regardless, how "nice" it is will probably be determined by the outcomes of the contests!
