Does Kansas State Need To Advertise To Sell Season Seats?
By Stan Unruh
Kansas State is in the second week of spring football. The regular season opener is less than 5 months away and season tickets are readily available.
Have you heard the radio ads promoting season tickets for Kansas State football? They are very well done. Wyatt Thompson does a great job. Frankly, I was very surprised to hear the these.
The ads mention the hall of fame coach and many other dramatic things to entice fans to buy tickets.
Maybe Kansas State always runs ads to sell season tickets.
I don’t remember hearing them in the past. I travel all over the country but don’t remember hearing ads for other so called football schools running ads to get fans to buy tickets.
I know fans at the Big 12 school in Lawrence run ads to get fans to their football games.
On the other hand, they don’t have to push season tickets for their basketball program.
By the same token, some families fight over season tickets left by loved ones who follow the University of Nebraska.
It’s no secret Kansas State fans are passionate about the Wildcats. However, with what coach Bill Snyder has returning this fall, I am amazed any season tickets are left.
I realize Kansas State is not just a football school. But football has become THE sport in Manhattan.
The university athletic web site indicates their commitment to “Best Fan Experience in the Big 12. They also have ticket price levels and options available to
fit every budget.”
If you are a die-hard fan you don’t consider the price, or do you?

As a matter of fact, the line that amazed me is this “Don’t wait to order tickets: Bill Snyder Family Stadium has sold out for 33 straight games.”
That’s nice to know. However, I’m sure fans who devote as much as Wildcat fans do can do much better.
