what's your record for season tickets sold?
Hopefully we'll be getting to that point sooner rather than later.

RE: Arkansas state season tix update
What had been your totals for the last couple of years?
Did the home game with Missouri help ? If so, how much do you think?
Just wondering what kind of surge a program might get by getting a home game with a nearby SEC TEAM. Considering a program would likely be giving up a million dollar pay day in exchange for a home & home, how many more tickets would you need to sale to make that up strictly in cash. Certainly the local economy would see that, but what about the actual school? Of course the intangible benefits are hard to put a price on, and imop are worth it anyway. Just from a dollars stand point, wondering the numbers difference?

RE: Arkansas state season tix update
If stAte sells 30,000 tickets that would be 1.65 million dollars in ticket sales so that would cover the 1.5 million St Louis offered to stAte to have the game there. Then there are the concessions we get to keep. Then parking is ours too (going for $20 per). So all in all it looks like a good move to keep the game in Jonesboro. Of course there are expenses. One other factor is that with the new press box / premium seating I think they guarantee 6 home games...so if the game went to St Louis stAte might have collected less money from that revenue source.
IMHO...keeping the game in Jonesboro will be a win-win-win...More money for the program, the excitement of a SEC team at home and more money being spent in Jonesboro!

2014 was 8571. Looks like it will be over a 1,500 increase in tickets from last year. Combination of the new press box, Missouri home game and pricing, and having a coach return for the second season.

We've priced Season Tickets in such a way that it makes far more sense for someone thinking of going to Mizzou and maybe 2 other games to just buy season tickets. You could get a Season ticket for $125, or spend $65 buying those same seats for just the Mizzou game.
Another interesting thing we did is we packaged the Missouri and ULL games together in a mini plan for basically the same price as a single ticket to just the Missouri game. Essentially, we're encouraging people to buy tickets to more than just the Missouri game.

Yep. 10K was reached. Blake Anderson bought tickets 9,999 and 10,000 and will give them away to two lucky fans in a contest at the Pre Missouri Pep Rally tonight.
I'm guessing that was pre planned so we had complete control of what happened to ticket 10,000

We've been playing you USL/ULL/LA guys for a long time now. The second time I was ever on TV was at a ASU/USL game at Indian Stadium when I was in the 9th grade. I'm 50 now.
But I digress. The biggest thing I see in this is that 10 years ago we had 3210 season ticket holders. The last number that I saw for last night had us right at 10,250. That, my friends, is a ressurection of a program!
