Does he know something we do’nt I thought attendence was capped at 35-36k with just the lower upperbowl being filled? Or is he talking about 2011?

He might mean all Sounders soccer at Qwest. If you factor in the friendlies we probably will top 40,000 per game average.

Or perhaps he does know something we don’t.

That’s assuming a regular MLS configuration of 36,000 and full sellouts of 65,000 for the three friendlies. With those numbers, you get an average of 40,833.

If you look at last year, they sold 22,000 season tickets,
partial season tickets, lets say 4,000,
that equals 26,000 " season " ticket holders.
So they sold 5,000 above that per game ( MLS only ). With seemingly huge demand behind it.

So 32,000 + 5,000 = 37,000, but our current stadium only holds 36,500, pretty close.

BUT if 96% of the season tickets renewed, that equals 25,000 + 8,000 on the waiting list = 33,000, so now you are 1,500 short.
Not that hard to see a scenerio where they hit 40,000+
They will have to open up more 300 level, as they will not get rid of the lucritive XBOX tarp, IMHO.

Please let the rest of the league catch up.

Who here things it crazy to be almost two months out and completely sold out, without opening more seats ?
I do.
They would open the Hawk’s Nest in a second, but they make $$ off of them over and above what they would make in tickets.
Someone on this site, said they should open up a section at a time. Cutting off opening sections maybe a week or two before each game. Still have the demand, might miss the game…but still maximize capacity. I think this is a great idea. It might ruin your, sold out every game in history claim, but I think they can sell a lot more tickets than they are.
