Shama: U Football Season Ticket Sales Down, But Sellouts Likely

[BleedGopher]

Per Shama:

The University of Minnesota reports it has sold 23,513 public season football tickets as of August 23. This total is down from the 25,317 total at a similar date last year.

This year and in the past Sports Headliners requested and received ticket sales information from the University through the public records process. Last year’s final football season tickets total was 25,396.

The Golden Gophers had a losing season in 2023, going 6-7 overall and 3-6 in Big Ten games. This followed consecutive 9-4 seasons when Minnesota’s conference records were 6-3 and 5-4 respectively.

In response to why fans aren’t renewing or buying season tickets, the U report said: “The most common reason given for fans not buying season tickets was that they had a change in their life circumstances or life event that led them to forgo buying season tickets in 2024.”

Would love to know the history of our season ticket holders. Curious what it was in the dome vs. the Bank, how the scholarship donation affected season ticket holders, etc
