Got tickets yet?

[GMG24]

Canales seemed to hint at that in a tweet about wearing green.

[GMG24]

If you go to ESPN and check out their write up of the bowls our bowl is the 2nd to last bowl mentioned…They hate UNT oh well.. Haters gunna hate

[NT91]

All green with SOW.

[North Texas Shep]

Gotta wait for a count. I want to get all mine together. Probably, tomorrow or Tuesday.

[Mean Green Matt]

I am. Getting help from a season ticket holder to get closer seats. He offered to help. I can only assume that a booster buying buckets of seats will look good for future bowls??

I assume there's a limit on the number of tickets that can be bought on each account to prevent something like this. Not to prevent the selling of tickets but to prevent the manipulation of the priority point system.

MGC members will get what section?

I think we will be on the opposite side of the tickets currently available...so the mid-20 sections.

I successfully requested 28. It looked like it could scroll all the way to 99?

[GMG24]

If my contact won't get back to me by noon tomorrow would any other member be down to get 7 tickets for me and I will get the $ to you however/whenever you want.

It would make way more sense to put a reasonable limit (like double your season tickets) or something like that on the amount of tickets you can get through priority points.

[GMG24]

Bowls look at how many tickets Donors buy, in their minds that means guaranteed ticket sales. It is all about $ and politics.

[Eastwood Eagle]

From Vito "UNT is working on ways to make tickets affordable for students. Villarreal mentioned that UNT might ask boosters/fans to buy an extra ticket, which could then be resold/given to a student."

I think this is an outstanding idea. If you are in a position to do this, please consider doing so. I really think this will help a lot of students and recent alumni be able to afford going to this game (ok, maybe just me).

Bowls look at how many tickets are purchased through the university.

[JesseMartin]

Holy crap, I hope you guys don't get into a debate about people buying too many tickets! This is freaking awesome...if all of the MGC/Season Ticket holders keep buying at this rate, we'll have 40K tix sold by the end of the week! Crazy optimistic, I know, but wow, this sounds good.

I love the Sig Ep push and hope the other Greeks rally to match that idea, can somebody send out the word? I know Pat Boone and Teen Wolf's dad were Kappa Alphas at UNT, how cool would it be if everybody used this as a "reunion" opportunity for every possible organization and got all of their alumni to visit? It would be neat to get a "who's who" of alums from honors societies, Greeks, music, whatever, and get some awesome extra press from that, you know?

Since it's so unlikely we could make it, I already started setting up a party in AZ and contacted the UNLV alumni office to try to do a joint event. Vegas is only about 6 hours away so they must have some alumni in the area even though they don't have a chapter here. But I have been working on some of our other alumni to get them interested in the bowl so I will try to get a few more butts in seats from out here. If anybody else will be within driving distance of Phoenix on New Year's let me know, because if I can get a decent number of RSVPs we can get a better spot for the party.

[GrayEagle]

I will pay my $75 per seat with no complaint but I'm sure that was structured when the Big 10 was to furnish the opponent. That's understandable but it isn't going to happen.

I would hope that UNT would have the foreshight to at least sell the seats that are not in the five (or maybe three) premium sections for say, $50. If it were to be a sellout that would be different but it's more important to sell as many tickets as we can.

No knock on UNLV. They would be my first choice for a G5 member opponent because it's pay back time. But, they have only one win against a team with a winning record (San Diego State)and should not command top dollar.

If we can get a big number of NT people out for this game, it'll probably help us with leverage in future Bowl years....not just with the games themselves but what opponents the Bowl can get for us.

[UNTflyer]

Section 5 from the website? I swear to God, if I get screwed on my ticket location like I did at the NCAA tourney in OKC....

[GMG24]

If they got section 5 they bought it off of the HOD website. There is no guarantee UNT is on that side.

I think you're missing my point.

[GrayEagle]

I believe that home team is on the west side (sections 1-10). The opposite side (20s) will be looking into the sun by game's end. Of course, there's no guarantee that there will be any sun shining on us New Year's Day.

[UNTflyer]

Mean Green Matt is right. If loyal season ticket holders get pushed to shitty sections with poor sight lines because some folks with more priority points can buy 30 tickets, what's my motivation to buy through the university and not the website?

Truth be told, this happens at other Bowl games too. Unbelievably Bowls don't always give the best seats to the schools themselves.

Rarely do lower level donors get the best seats. The email the AD sent mentioned Broze level ($1000) and higher get first dibs.

That's not the point. No matter what seats UNT is given, if internally, they screw the lower and mid tier donors, then that's on UNT and not on the bowls.

[JesseMartin]

Yeah, I definitely hope all of you who have season tickets and have been loyal don't get crappy seats. I'm very excited about the possibility that we'll sell a ton of tickets but I certainly hope all of you still get great seats, sorry if I was being insensitive to that possibility. With such a huge venue, hopefully that won't be a problem.
