SMU Game Tix arrive yet? Update?

[Harry]

I received some negative rep from our resident Baylor fans for saying this in another thread, but BU does not tend to travel well. It's one of the reasons, among others, that they struggle with landing a high profile home-and-home. 

If we get the turn out predicted by some on this site, there's a good possibility that there will be more mean green in ford next week than whatever shade of green Baylor is this week

Here's my take -- and this is why you see so many schools with lowering attendance numbers.  Take Arkansas vs. Texas A&M.  I can pay $150 a ticket to watch it in Jerry World or go to a bar and watch it in crystal clear HD and eat and drink $150 worth...  OR watch it at home and eat and drink like a king for probably $20.  It's sort of simple economics.

In the case of the SMU game, most Baylor fans probably see that as a warm up game.  Many of them will opt to watch it at home although I still believe the game will end up a sell out before all is said and done.

I just think simple economics is starting to play into this attendance equation.  Also, the TV contracts are starting to get to the point that every game is on TV now.

I am going to the Baylor - SMU game. My Baylor grad friend also commented about not travelling well, so I am not expecting a sell out, just a well attended game.

Got our tickets in today's mail.  Section 122, row 15.  

GMG!

Has anyone answered the question of whether or not the athletic department gets any money off of away game tickets?  Can someone please find out?

I don't know the specifics of the contract with SMU but I know how it usually works.  Usually the teams are sent an allotment of X, and they agree to buy a subset of that, lets call that Y.  

If UNT sells less than Y, they have to buy up to Y.  If they sell Y, they owe nothing.  If they sell over Y the money goes to the other school.  Usually there is a soft date set as when to send back any unsold tickets.  

So when fans buy from the ticket office they are making sure the AD doesn't have to pay that Y cost.  

 

All of this is reversed when the other school visits us.  

ETA: Everyone seems to be in Section 122, and here I am sitting in 120... did I make someone angry?  ;)

I am not able to do the East Side trip because I live in Dallas.  Please take pics and share your thoughts on here afterwards if you will.  I have a feeling that is going to be a really fun trip.  #jealous

They need to periscope it.  It's the wave of the future.

I just got 12 tickets Row 1 Sec 123... They match where my season tickets are in Apogee. Can't wait... 

[NT91]

No tickets yet for me. I hope I get them soon.

[UNT90]

We knew that. You NEVER miss an SMU game when UNT isn't playing or is out of town...

Thank you!  I just sent him an e-mail..I live in Houston so it is probably going to take an extra day or two. 

[NT91]

I think we will have a hard time vs SMU.

[SilverEagle]

I was approached at the kick-off event and assured that my SMU tickets and tailgate passes would be mailed out shortly. 

Approaching the week of the game and still no tickets/passes.

[NT91]

No tickets and no returned emails. 

[emmitt01]

No tickets and no returned emails. 

That's shocking

[greenit]

If you are not getting a response from the athletic department, I suggest you move up the chain.

If there are enough of you having an issues, I am confident the issue will get addressed. 

[texmusic]

At least I'm not the only one missing tickets, but it makes me a little nervous if they have not mailed out since Monday is a holiday and I'm in Houston.

Has everyone received their season tickets?
