Answer: not yet.
But really, according to a new article by the St Louis Post-Dispatch’s Dave Matter, ticket sales for non-students ARE on the uptick this season — YAY! — but they still lag behind other years. BOO.
As of Aug. 10, Mizzou had sold 18,589 non-student season ticket packages and 5,071 student season ticket packages for a total of 23,660, according to university figures submitted to the Post-Dispatch through an open records request. Last season, Missouri sold 18,247 non-student season packages and 7,108 student packages for a total of 25,355.
I know our comment section, which consists largely of the non-student variety, has been rather lively when talking about fan attendance, and I’m happy to see that uptick.
