No one was expecting 90K+. Alleva himself said the goal was 50,000 which we probably won't reach


I bet we will. A lot of people will decide they have nothing better really going tomorrow. I think 10-15k walkup is entirely possible. Everyone knows tickets are widely available, so human nature will let many people wait until the last minute.

I have my doubts about that. We've only sold like 10k tickets in the last 30 hours. I have no reason to think we'll sell more than that in the next 20 hours

Yes, and everyone involved knew they would be, so it really did not make sense to give season ticket holders an exclusive period to buy tickets. They should have opened up sales to everyone as soon as they could. Giving season ticket holders first dibs might have made some people think that all the good seats would be taken, so there's no point in buying the leftovers. Giving everyone an equal shot from the beginning might have created some urgency and driven more sales.
