Badger Season ticket No-Shows
« on: April 05, 2013, 11:18:10 AM »
I post this in hopes of not (just) complaining about badger fans, but wondering what kind of information is available regarding this MU games, and how we compare.
I would say that 25% no-show is a problem at UW Sports events

• The average actual attendance for men's basketball was 11,867, down for the third straight year and almost 5,000 less than the average announced attendance.

• After no-shows for the six major UW sports covered in the data — football, men's basketball, women's basketball, men's hockey, women's hockey and volleyball — jumped to 28 percent for the 2011-12 athletic season, it was back down to 25 percent for 2012-13.
Like many colleges, Wisconsin reports the number of tickets sold as its announced attendance figure. The actual attendance comes from the number of tickets scanned as fans enter the venue. We received those numbers with an open records request to the university.

For instance, the announced attendance for the Feb. 25 men's hockey game against Penn State was 9,078 but the actual number of spectators was 5,338. The 3,740 difference between the numbers was the highest for men's hockey among regular season games this season.

OT but a 41% drop in announced attendance and a 45% drop in scanned attendance for hockey in 3 years is not what I expected to see.

I'd be interested to know Marquette's actual attendance versus tickets sold.  As a season-ticket holder in the upper bowl, there are games when I feel the place is dead but announced to be at 90%+ capacity.

Don't have no-show information, other than there's almost never been anyone in the two seats next to me for the last two years and I KNOW someone else has them as season tickets, because I couldn't get them.

But here's the average attendance for the last three years:

2010-11: 15,586
2011-12: 15,138
2012-13: 15,033
