Memphis Season Ticket Sales Picking Up Steam
The Commercial Appeal reported today Memphis Season Ticket Sales have already exceeded 2014 total sales. Memphis is also reportedly now approximately 4,000 past last year at this time and with August traditionally the largest month for ticket sales still to come.
It also must be said that with Ole Miss and an overall good slate at home, those factors may be pushing sales somewhat this year as well. However, Memphis has been a walk up on game day and sit where you want event for a number of years so it is not as big a factor as one would think. Obviously 10 wins and a bowl game win over BYU adds to the sales I am excited to see where we end up.

Gotta strike while the iron is hot. UCF is up almost 20% from the year before the Fiesta bowl win and will be between 16-17k this year (to go along with about 10k-12k students)
Pretty darn good price also, pretty hard to say no
"Memphis football season tickets are on sale now and start at just $89 a piece" for upper endzone.
Ole Miss, Navy and Cincy alone are well worth that price for a fence sitter.

They're being tight lipped, but a record looks to be within reach. I thought it may take one more year b/f averaging over 40,000 again. Now, unless the bottom drops out or horrible weather comes into play anything less will be a disappointment IMO.

As previously stated, looks like the race for 2nd place could be a tight one.
