We've sold more than 60,000 tickets, so after we get all the bands and other non-ticketed folks in, we'll be close to capacity. We will definitely sell out.

We probably sold about 500 tickets overnight and this morning. We didn't get down under 1,000 like we wanted, but it was enough movement that hopefully the momentum will continue. We also heard from a number of our season ticket-holders that were disappointed because they weren't going to be able to get to the game and wanted to watch it on TV.

People really liked it and couldn't get to see it because the tickets sold out. There was quite a bit of buzz about it.

I sold some of my tickets this year. I did. I told the league that and I told [team owner] Red McCombs that. I'm not going to lie. But if I'm going to be thrown out this year for selling tickets, then I'm a scapegoat. If I'm guilty of anything, I'm guilty of selling some of my tickets. I am not guilty of buying any player tickets since I've been made the head coach [in January 2002].

It's absolutely staggering that we have sold so many tickets. It's recognition of the fact that playing at Old Trafford is something that might happen only once in a lifetime.

I used to work for the Clippers - I sold tickets - so I was in the Staples Center all the time. I'm a big Clippers fan.
