Based on william floyd's post, I would assume the "worse case scenario" is

that the demand for tickets exceeds the maximum capacity even with the additional seats. Not that VT won't be able to sellout the game.

Here’s a normal regional format
hokiepro • 05/07/22 05:05 PM ET
I’ve seen a regional start around noon or 11am for TV
VTsportscaster • 05/07/22 09:35 PM ET
Yeah Friday start could be anywhere 11-4
hokiepro • 05/08/22 02:28 PM ET
Yeah, host picks their game time**
VTsportscaster • 05/08/22 09:43 PM ET
Where can I tailgate?**
whatIpostlike • 05/07/22 05:10 PM ET
Since classes and graduation are over? I imagine South Lane Stadium lot or
hokiepro • 05/07/22 05:28 PM ET
Check Sunday night May 15 after pairings Tix likely on sale May 16 **
hokiepro • 05/07/22 03:56 PM ET
They have had numerous meetings on the entire regional setup
VTChip • 05/07/22 09:17 AM ET
Yeah tickets usually never go on sale before the brackets come out
VTsportscaster • 05/07/22 09:31 PM ET
Yeah**
VTsportscaster • 05/07/22 09:31 PM ET
"Now batting, the left fielder..."**
TomTurkey • 05/07/22 02:44 PM ET
Probably lifted for a pinch hitter...lol**
VTChip • 05/07/22 09:35 PM ET
You are probably as correct as anyone, but seems reasonable.
RJHokie • 05/07/22 09:24 AM ET
Don't worry, I'm sure Whit will do his best to dehumanize VT softball fans
The_Phew • 05/07/22 03:50 PM ET
Why do this? Does it add to the board dialogue at all?
Hokie Proud • 05/07/22 07:40 PM ET
The samurai had the answer
The_Phew • 05/08/22 08:15 AM ET
Watch
Techdady • 05/07/22 10:01 PM ET
That's not fortune telling, that's an expected outcome.**
saret • 05/07/22 03:54 PM ET
And if an unexpected outcome occurs, expect loud screaming**
Brewing_Hokie • 05/07/22 06:44 PM ET
Over/under for successfully ticketed attendees?**
TomTurkey • 05/07/22 04:47 PM ET
I have no idea, the way they run ticketing. Link**
saret • 05/07/22 06:12 PM ET
There will be an admission charge to the games.
RJHokie • 05/07/22 09:12 AM ET
And some of us will be left out, after supporting the team all season.**
william floyd • 05/07/22 12:01 PM ET
Y’all need to relax. Keep tabs on HokieSports May 15 & 16

VTHokie2000 • 05/08/22 02:03 PM ET
That’s another a worst case. That’s a good problem to have
hokiepro • 05/08/22 02:07 PM ET
I agree it is a good problem to have, but it is the ONLY scenario where a

Hopefully, it'll become the "house that Keely et al built"
TomTurkey • 05/07/22 04:55 PM ET
Can they set up a remote viewing site in the Rector Field House?
TomTurkey • 05/07/22 02:59 PM ET
If VT is going to go with the remote viewing route, then Lane or Cassell
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/22 02:20 PM ET
A good problem to solve **
TomTurkey • 05/08/22 02:23 PM ET
A great problem to solve and a golden opportunity for VT to try
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/22 02:26 PM ET
Yes, a bull market for non-revenue sports
TomTurkey • 05/08/22 02:30 PM ET
Given all the potential changes floating out there as the schools try to
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/22 02:36 PM ET
That’s possible.
RJHokie • 05/07/22 02:00 PM ET
Honestly, I think there is a great chance the demand could even exceed
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/22 01:56 PM ET
It's unfortunate that will happen because it will be another example
VTHokie2000 • 05/07/22 12:17 PM ET
Come on. There will be advance purchase available
hokiepro • 05/07/22 04:59 PM ET
My point is that Regionals and Super Regionals have a great chance
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/22 01:48 PM ET
Not sure how “alienation” occurs when it’s something not in school’s
hokiepro • 05/08/22 02:02 PM ET
I wouldn't make that assumption because people can change their plans
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/22 02:12 PM ET
I suppose track record warrants a little but why assume the worst? **
fsghokie • 05/07/22 02:30 PM ET
You obviously missed my point if you think I'm assuming the worst.
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/22 01:53 PM ET
I didn’t miss any point
fsghokie • 05/08/22 02:50 PM ET
Some outdoor events (i.e. concerts, trade shows, fairs, etc.) don't

VTHokie2000 • 05/11/22 01:16 AM ET
It’s been said that temporary seating is being considered
fsghokie • 05/08/22 08:15 PM ET
There’s not going to be places like that with extra bleachers coming in
hokiepro • 05/08/22 07:40 PM ET
True.**
