Kansas State Football Ticket Sales Trending Lower Than Expected

Kansas State dropping fan capacity to 25% has "created headaches for K-State fans and administrators alike," so much so, in fact, that there "might not be enough demand for even this limited supply," according to Kellis Robinett of the WICHITA EAGLE. KSU AD Gene Taylor said, "Ticket sales have been trending a little lower than we hoped. I will be surprised if we get to the 25%." Robinett notes yesterday was the "deadline for season-ticket holders to purchase mini-plans for games this season." There are "obvious reasons for the slow sales." For starters, some fans "simply don't think it is safe to attend football games during a pandemic." Others "have questions about K-State's ticket options" and "need as much time as possible to make a decision." Enhanced safety protocols such as masks, social distancing and no tailgating "may also hinder attendance." Taylor said, "If we are at 23%, we will just stop there. Anything else we might do would potentially put us over the limit and there's not really a fair manner for everyone to get a chance at those tickets." But one thing he said that KSU "won't do is offer tickets on a single-game basis" (WICHITA EAGLE, 8/27).
