One of the main differences between the ShootOut and the Chili Bowl is that the ShootOut does not sell reserved seats. Therefore it would be much easier to limit attendance to whatever the figure is set at. Once they sell the number of general admission tickets to get to the limit the "No Vacancy" sign is turned on and no more tickets are sold.

There will be a lot less disappointment that way then if you can only allocate 3750 tickets to 15,000 reserved ticket holders. I still think there is a lot they are not telling us.
