It wasn't full. We moved to lower arena about 15 minutes in.
Doesn't matter. Arenas go by tickets sold or in this case given away. In the eyes of Rupp, it was a sellout
Sounds like the Blue-White game could set a record. Usually not that popular but is this year. I like it better than BBM.
That wasn't the question. I was wondering about actual number of attendees.
All I know it was more than the 126 meth heads that showed up for the UL Madness.That wasn't the question. I was wondering about actual number of attendees.
23,000 is the number of tickets sold. They sell that many because they give them away. I was there and it wasn't nearly full. I'm guessing somewhere between 18k and 19k actually showed up. I was 5 rows up on the sideline upper deck and there was at least 20 or so empty seats in my general area. That's why I believe they should sell Madness tickets the same way they do Blue White scrimmage tickets. That way the people that actually want to be there will claim them rather than have someone claim the seats that may or may not show up.Whatever Rupp Arena holds. 23,000+.
Rinse and repeat, every year.
Good point I didn't take that into account.It's probably not even 23,000 sold tho when you factor that the stage takes up so much space that several sections they don't sell at all.

Unless some rules have changed in the last few years they have to be given away per NCAA rules. Not allowed to sell tickets for Madness events.23,000 is the number of tickets sold.

I'm not sure on the rules but I can't imagine that the NCAA has any control on how you sell tickets. The event isn't at midnight on the first day of practice anymore. There really no difference than this event and the blue white game.Unless some rules have changed in the last few years they have to be given away per NCAA rules.
