The Grounds

We will not prove this wrong....but from here on out it is about the perception we create for ourselves. Sure, we did not sell out our allotment, but neither has 90%+ of the schools participating in bowl games. Internally we have sold about 33% more tickets than VT. VT has sold more tickets than Florida, OSU and other monster programs!

We need our admin to hit the press and gloat about what we have sold...not what has fallen short.

We need our fans in ATL need to be loud, proud and in their gear packing restaurants and attractions spending money.
Our fans also need to bring their A game into the GA Dome...as does our squad!

Beat Eagle!

It was explained in the article. It is due to the ACC having the higher selection from within the respective conferences. ACC#2 vs SEC#6.

Honestly if bowls gave tickets with better locations to schools, the schools would sell tickets more easily. It's hard to blame a fan for buying tickets in a better location from the secondary market instead of buying end zone seats from the school. I am still impressed with selling 14K through UVA. Hotel and restaurant sales are more important to the bowls anyways... that's what really stimulates the economy in a city.

I am sure they will write a follow-up if we do sell out.

For what it's worth, Auburn has a much bigger following in atlanta. I went onto their website and they still have not sold out of their allotment yet. The fact that our numbers are about the same as Auburn's should bode well for us in the future. I think we're putting in a good showing. It would be nice to sell out though.

I know I'm going to take some heat but frankly I'm going (buying 4 tickets) and I just didn't want to sit in the end zone upper deck. I can get near midfield tickets in the lower level for about $100 per ticket and I just don't want to travel to the ATL and sit in the upper deck. If the bowls want to sell more tickets for the schools they should at least offer a block of better seats. Ridiculous.
