I'm talking abt season tix. Try buying a ticket through our office for Auburn or ut.

And FYI, those seats were returned from the visitor school after they didn't sell out their allotment and were returned to us.

I think it's a cool idea.

But what happens if you have too many people signed up for it and they play Bama at home and it's a sellout. Are those people not able to get the tickets or what?

If OM were to do the same and I lived in the radius I would do it.

This was my question. Sounds like they are paying $360 (close to season ticket price) to attend the small sec and non conference games. Though I think more teams sell back their tickets than usual because of cowbells and Starkville

Not a bad idea. It would work well at Ole Miss, State, Mizzou and a couple of other schools. Larger programs like Alabama and LSU wouldn't be able to though because of the demand

Na man, this is for all sports. We out-averaged Ole Miss in football crowds last year.

So you're saying UGA tickets for their two biggest home games are expensive and hard to come by!?!

Dang, that's impressive.

I would hope so, you had a bigger stadium. Just like I expect us to average more than MSU this year.

I suspect that the football tickets available with this program would be visiting team seats that don't sell. Every SEC game we had last year were sold out.

Maybe it's to keep fans from other SEC schools taking advantage of this and signing up go to the football game for 30$ then to just drop it.

I can't imagine having FOOTBALL tickets available. Even during our probation years I was told getting my tix moved to lower level was about a 20 year wait and only if some families didn't pass them down. I've been waiting since 98 just to get moved to west upper from east upper.

I personally think it's a great idea... 360$ a year for every game, I would do it no doubt.

I'll have to think on this because the football stadium has been selling and the hump always has a crowd as well as baseball. Perhaps it's focus is getting more folks to womens hoops, softball etc.

Again, I'll have to think on the reasons behind this.
