It took just eight days for Wake to sell out of the initial tickets made available for the Belk Bowl in Charlotte.
Wake Forest may be just 1/10th the size of Texas A&M as far as student enrollment goes, but that didn’t deter its fans from selling out the initial ticket allotment made available through the school for the Belk Bowl to be played on December 29th.
Per the official football account, it took just 8 days for Wake fans to snatch up every single ticket made available through the Wake Forest ticket office:
We have SOLD OUT our initial allotment of tickets to the @belkbowl, but have received additional tickets to sell to the game. Thank you for your support and let's continue to pack Bank of America Stadium! #GoDeacs pic.twitter.com/1ePxQbM9Iq

In 2007 Wake Forest sold out the initial allotment of 12,500 tickets against UConn before receiving 6,000 more tickets, selling those out, and ultimately selling nearly 20,000 tickets in total through the school.
Although I do not have the exact number of tickets initially made available to Wake Forest, I have been told that it was near that same amount. Wake also requested an additional 1,000 club seat tickets late last week as well.
My guess is that Wake will ultimately wind up selling about the same amount as it did in 2007, with several thousand more sold through secondary markets and the Belk Bowl website itself.
I am very impressed and proud of Wake fans for taking advantage of a close bowl game and continuing to support and buy through the school to show support for a program on the rise.
Let’s keep it up and sell out of the additional allotment too.
Go Deacs!
