I'm a Vol fan and I have to agree, our seating situation is terrible. I'm 6'3 260 and I can barely fit one arse cheek on my seat.

So you bought season tickets to get the Alabama ticket? My god, you are dumber than I thought.
LOL - like that was necessary. Just bought one of your "please take these off our hands" mini-packages for $100 and sold the Western Carolina/Austin Peay tickets for $5 on stubhub.
Like I said, first year that hasn't been an option since the early 2000s. Progress.

The sky boxes installed on the old student side reduced the total capacity by about 5,000 seats. The new skyboxes are on the right in the picture.
That sort of shite was what the old AD was good at. He wasn't good for much else.

Stadium is awesome, atmosphere is great, but those seats are a shiteshow.

Well there is NO REQUIRED DONATION to buy season tickets, so I'm not only unimpressed, but actually saddened by how shitty (and poor) Tennessee fans are that they could only sell 78k tickets. Sad.
Hol. E. Fuq. There is no donation required on a handful of tickets, not all 72k you imbecile.

Mini season ticket packages were more than $100 for 3 games moron.

They changed from year to year, but there were 2-3 years when the packages were 1 good game and 1 bad game, then a few years when it was 1 good game, 1 middle of the pack SEC game and 1 bad game. Then, they just started spamming with deals for the bad games.
Give it to Dave Hart, he tried his best to get asses in the stands during the lean years.

I don't get the correlation between selling out home games and getting to SECG.
We sell out every year and rarely go.

I was walking to class in 1980 or so and two coaches from Ohio or someplace asked me where the stadium was. They were there for the Johnny Majors coaching clinic. I was going that way so they gave me a ride. When we came around the corner and they saw the stadium, the one guy pointed and said, “look!” I had to smile.
Of course the stadium was puny then. Only about 80,000 capacity.

NO, mini season ticket packages were always 3 games and were always for face value which varied for the 3 games:
Austin Peay $45
Mizzou $70
Alabama $70
There is no way face value on 3 home tickets with the Bama game were ever $100. And they were the shittiest seats in the stadium. Thanks for paying full face value to two home games where tickets weren't even selling.

They weren't selling them just for face value, they were selling them at a discounted rate because the Alabama game is ALWAYS the last game they have any hope of making money off of when you are bad. If they still had boat loads of tickets available for the games post Alabama (South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, North Texas, etc) then they were f'd.
Therefore, they used Alabama as a carrot to get people to also buy 1-2 of those remaining games and they took a small hit on them.
You can argue with me if you want, we did it for a decade. This is the first year there wasn't a pre-season option and made arrangements figuring there wouldn't be an in-season option because Tennessee would have sold tickets and would be good.
They also offered tickets for almost free ($5-$10) through a lot of the state's large employers, invited High School bands to come to games and offered every members family 4 tickets at a miniscule rate ($5-10), etc. Dave Hart pulled out ALL the stops the last 5 years.

Maybe there was a difference between the package offered before the season and those offered during. I frequently got emails from UT offering me specials on 2 and 3 games packages at severely reduced rates. They always seemed to come after week 1 or 2.
