Georgia State projects as many as 23,000 tickets sold and distributed for Saturday’s game against Georgia Southern at the Georgia Dome. It will be the first meeting between the two schools in football.
A spokesman said more than 13,100 tickets have been sold as of Thursday morning, including the 3,500 on consignment to Georgia Southern.
The Panthers are averaging 11,824 at their four home games this season. The season-high of 16,836 came against Air Force.
The projection of 23,000 would be the third-highest total in tickets sold for Georgia State since the program started in 2010.
The inaugural game against Shorter had an announced attendance of 30,237. The 2011 opener against Clark Atlanta had an announced attendance of 26,273. Georgia State hasn’t cracked more than 20,000 in any other home game.
