This is great and for such small points your system is fine.

In the future, you could have 'em take a picture of themselves with the 4th qtr scoreboard in the background.

Nevermind, I see your point.

For the record, I canceled research trips so my grad students can go to the game. I am also giving makeup points to students demonstrating they attended the game. This worked nicely last week. GMG!

So my season tickets are in section 104 and I had a friend who wanted to join my group for Saturday. I had already given my extra tickets to friends, so I called to just purchase one in our section. I literally bought the LAST TICKET in section 104!!! Can't wait to see the turn out if this is any indication of the attendance!

By going to the ticketmaster website and zooming in on the seating map that allows you to pick your seats you can see which seats are still available. I didn't count each individual seat but by doing some rough estimates it appears - NOT COUNTING WINGZONE - we only have around 3,700 - 3,900 tickets still available. Not sure how many the wingzone holds as it is general admission.

I called after you did and got 4 extrasin 104...

My seats are in 103 and they're sold out, so I had to settle for 104.

Whaaaaat? They lied! I wonder if they gave me the wrong section. Though they couldn't find me as a season ticket holder to begin with so I'm not super confident.

Typically you will not be able to find allotments of the MGC requirement section seats, visitor allotment seats and student section seats on Ticketmaster. So, using ticketmaster as a guide to which sections are sold out, or how many more remaining is kind of a crap shoot in my opinion.

I think there will be a huge walk up. I think a lot of people don't spend the 5 minutes it takes to order online if they know they can just buy them when they walk up to the stadium. Also, I wonder how many livingsocial deals have sold and if those are counted in the number left.

Agreed. Once we start packing the thing up and people realize that they have to get tickets in advance then we might be able to gauge by presales. As long as people know they can get a walk-up ticket the day of, I don't think they have any reason to preorder.

We will have 24-26k.

The ticket office will tell you sales are great and you got the last seat here or there when it isn't necessarily the case. Why? They hope this will give the impression tickets are going like hotcakes and you will tell your friends that they better get them now or they will miss out, hoping to drive advanced sales.

And that's ok.

Don't believe anything you here about tickets being sold out here or there unless you actually call the ticket office and here it as you try to buy a seat in that particular section.

So the ticket office lies, but we should believe them?

Yeah, it doesn't take into account the big gaping hole we have in the middle sections. I always look to the available seats in the lower end zone sections as a general guide as to how the overall sales look. It looks a little bit better in where we are in available seats there for UTEP than we were with Rice two days out from that game. Based on that, already over 100 on Living Social deal, and walk-ups on homecoming, I expect a number higher than Rice for UTEP by at least a few thousand.

Before you buy tickets=believable

After your ticket is secured= attempt to create the appearance of greater demand.

For instance, someone posted that they were told their were only 12 seats left in the visitor allotment for the La. Tech game AFTER they bought their seats. Seeing this, I immediately called to get my tickets. I was told there was 14 tickets left for the visitor allotment.

It may not be intentional, but I would trust anything other than a ticket office employ refusing to take your money whenever any claims are made that this section or that section is sold out. Throw in that often times the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, and you should just call and offer your money to makes sure.

Yes, I have trust issues.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
