The slow ticket sales applies to most current sports leagues. I attribute it to a couple things: better tv product, more people have viewing access to every game, slow economy.

There were only a few hundred seats and they sold out very quickly. Basically folks paid $260 for the Bama game.


Sorry if I implied the Bama game was anything less than a sure sellout. It most certainly is and always will be. The point was a lot of schools use the sure sellout as "bait" to sell tickets for other games that are anything but a sure sellout. It's the economic reality of scheduling craptastic rent a wins.
