There are some teams that will travel to all games. Bama fans being one but now when you have a championship game, 2 playoff games, one of which could be in Cali, this is gonna be an issue. I don't believe had Ole Miss or State repped, that a trip to Pasadena would sell out. The bad is the SECCG now takes a backseat. If you have money for posteseason, some people will hold off and buy the playoff game tix. I am on the automatic renewal for the SECCG but approx 50% of tickets are sold after the game matchup is announced. Make no mistake, the Dome will be filled by kickoff saturday. Mostly by Bama fans.

That's correct. The prospect of that one extra game has reduced the value of an SECCG ticket.

I'm receiving bids now at above face value (though not by much) but if I were a Bama fan I think I'd just take my chances walking around outside the Dome.
