As of 4:45 p.m., Sunday, Komets President Michael Franke said there are about 5,300 tickets out for Monday night and they are expecting a crowd of around 7,500. The Komets have not come close to selling out a first-round playoff game since the Memorial Coliseum was renovated in 2003, and have not sold out a first-round game since 1995 against Peoria.
The last time the Komets played a Game 7 outside the playoff finals was in 2005 when they drew 6,012 for a May 10 game against Rockford. That was a Tuesday night.
