Yes, emails were sent for mini season ticket packages and emails were routinely sent for unsold tickets (that aren't tied to season tickets). Still doesn't change the fact that you easily got tickets for a "decade" for $100 in a mini season ticket package.

Hol. E. Fuq. There is no donation required on a handful of tickets, not all 72k you imbecile.
I worked for a guy years ago whose family had had 8 tickets under the press box since the 1930's. The extra donations required priced them out of 4 and later the other 4.
He was from Knoxville but went to FSU. Back in the day, I was able to replace the "You've Got Mail!" wav. on his AOL account with the FSU fight song. He thought that was awesome.

I don't know why he's getting so bent out of shape over the idea. I'm sure UT isn't the first school to reduce ticket prices for games that haven't sold out. I get the same emails from Vanderbilt every year.

You get these emails and logon and they single SRO seats or like single tickets on the last row of the upper deck.
Posted on 8/31/16 at 2:20 pm to SummerOfGeorge
and we still sell out every game. Your point?

They were directly tied to season tickets. Hell, the whole point of this thread is that Tennessee sold a bunch more season tickets this year than in the past. What do you think happened with all those non-sold season tickets that are now season tickets in 2010-2014?
They tried to sell them in mini-packages........
Come on brah

Yea, you are right, they were creating packages because they had 41 unused singles at the top of the Upper Deck. Vols were crushing that home attendance the last 5 years.
You nailed it brah

You can turn a sunny day into a hurricane and every time you sit back and play the innocent. You're making something out of nothing in an attempt to devalue things by claiming 'no donation' when you know damn well the no donation seats are rare and sold in separate packages and no different from any other school.

Please continue changing your argument. You claimed to get Alabama Tennessee tickets easily for a decade by paying $100 bucks for 3 games and no donation. That didn't happen. Then you brought up that you got emails for games not UGA, FLorida or Bama. Your point?

I remember in 2010 you could still buy 2 game packs and maybe even single game 2-4 seats of tickets up until the Georgia game.
They sold 2 game packs of Alabama and Georgia in 2011 I think it was?
Anyway, lots of schools do that. Alabama still has some singles for a few of the crappy games this year and we have a season ticket waitlist a mile long. It's not that big a deal.

College Football's Most Valuable Teams 2015: Texas, Notre Dame And ... Tennessee?
Chris Smith , FORBES STAFF
"A mediocre 5-7 record, three straight years without a top-10 recruiting class, a TV deal falling far short of expectations — and still the uncontested most valuable team in college sports. Sounds like just another year for the Texas Longhorns, who for the seventh year in a row top our list of college football’s biggest cash cows.
Texas’ team value is up 16% this year to $152 million, and that climb to the stratosphere should hardly be a surprise at this point. Last season Texas generated an unprecedented $121 million in revenue; the Longhorns remain the only college football team to ever break the $100 million revenue mark, which they’ve done for four straight years. Even more staggering: The team booked $92 million in profit. Alabama, arguably the most popular team in the nation, only managed revenue of $97 million.
Rounding out the top three this year are another mainstay and one of our biggest surprises in years: Notre Dame (current value: $127 million) and Tennessee ($121 million). Yes, that Tennessee. The Volunteers have been far from impressive on the field in their three seasons under Butch Jones, posting just 20 wins and beating only two ranked teams."

It did happen - just only for 5 years and not 10. Forgive me if it felt like 10.

That you said they weren't tied to season tickets and they clearly were? That was my point.
