yeah that's pretty quick.

Do you know how/when single game reserved tickets will go on sale on flashtickets? As of now it's showing there are no available events. Tia.

Not sure. Do you even see an event? I don't.

Many people got them delivered that way but I don't think the event has been created yet so no tickets have been distributed. My guess is it'll show up some time today, people will get their tix, and then some will place them on sale

The whole thing is always a clusterfrick. But Flash has improved the process a great deal because back in the day I drove to Olsen a time or two without tickets in hand not even knowing if there would be some available and for how much.

Put in a request for all-session tickets ahead of time and was told I got them and would have them later today. Still don't see them. The e-mail I got saying I would have them said "There is no secondary market on Flash Seats for NCAA events." I take this to mean the tickets can be transferred, but there will be no marketplace as was the case for other games. Looks like you'll have to buy them off TexAgs or Craigslist and have someone transfer the Flash Seats to you if you need them. That wasn't the case last year. I paid a pretty penny on Flash Seats for the final Cal game.

Oh, and I'm not a season ticket holder but was offered the pre-sale. I was under the impression the pre-sale a few weeks back was for all 12th Man Foundation members, regardless of whether they were BB season ticket holders....

We got real seats for the Regional; but lawn for the super regional. Not sure how many. A friend requested 6, called, and was told he only got 4. So assuming we got 4.

Was told by a friend they're melting on TexAgs about the fact there is no Flash Seats second-hand market. Apparently a bunch of Ags bought them to make a buck, and are now pissed there is no easy way to sell them.

I did the same thing and had to call. I was told I got lawn for both. Not happy I couldn't get a real seat. We averaged over 5200. It's time to expand the correct way. There is demand.

Yep. The number of sellouts and the strong second-hand market all season is indicative we're a bit small; especially when you look at some of the other SEC facilities.

ive only been watching aggie baseball for 12 years or so since i started school.

What is the main reason our crowds arent as large and rowdy as in the mark johnson era?

Ive seen video recap of our '89 season and it was absolutely electric in the stands!!! Guys that were shirtless yelling their tails off.

I remember standing behind the right field fence as a young kid watching my dad watch an aggie v. Horn game surrounded by a bunch of drunk good ol' boys with milk jugs filled with beer. I'm assuming it's because we went to get tickets and the game was sold out.

but yeah, the atmosphere when I was little seemed very intimidating....now we blow bubbles.

Simonds gets the ball Frday, Hill on Saturday. I have a feeling Vinson goes Sunday if he isn't used.

Boomer is a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award for the best damn baseball player in the country. The good news is they have a fan vote, and Aggies rock at that. Voting isn't open yet but reportedly will be sometime tonight. As they say: vote early, vote often.

Very cool little behind the scenes show. Nothing ground breaking but it's fun hearing what the coaches & players day to each other.
