there is no way 48k tix have been sold, gophersports had a free code for tix on it's site this week with a limit of 6 per person!

So they have over 4,000 more to sell. Sounds right.

I was checking on another game, and the gal at the ticket office said around 48,000.

This game was part of the two pack for Homecoming against Purdue so I bet a lot of those sales came from that offer.

I don't care how they sold the tickets, as long as they sold them.

I care how many people actually show up.

Proof?

Agreed. When/where did you see the offer for free tickets? I'm pretty sure I would have heard about it via emails from the ticket office, friends, or seen it here on gopherhole.

It looked like there was a legitimate 40,000+ for the MTSU game with a reported attendance of 47,223. Just for comparison.
