If you wanted tickets for the World Series, how many people will you be competing against? I like to think in numbers so here’s my quick math:
According to the swami known as Wikipedia, Denver’s population was approximately 2.5 Million in 2006. I’d guess that the population was risen a few thousand in the last year.
There are approximately 18,000 tickets available for each World Series game at Coors Field.
There are 3 possible games for a grand total of 54,000 tickets available.
Each person can purchase up to 4 tickets and lets assume most people will buy 4 tickets for only one of the games. (If you had a brain you’d buy 4.)
That leaves only 13,500 sets of 4 tickets.
Here’s the kicker, they’re only available online.
Children typically make 25% of the population so the 2.5 million drops to 1.8.
Let’s just say that half the people don’t care about the Rockies or at least don’t care about going to the game. We’re now at 900K.
And not everyone has access to the internet so again lets slash by 50% to 450K.
And not everyone that has access to the internet will be available at 10 AM next Monday again slash by 50% to 225K.
And not everyone that has access to the internet next Monday has broadband again slash by 50% to 113K.
113K will be competing for 13K tickets.
Ever been to a game at the Big House? Imagine going through the turnstile at Michigan Stadium with that many people at the same time. Qwest, Comcast, and all other internet providers better be ready. Throw statistics and probability out the window, getting tickets to the World Series is going to be MADNESS!
