Each school only gets like 11k for actual donors.

If we make Indy lots of folk won’t get tics either bc of stadium size being just 64k and majority of all other teams being first time and close.

I know a few guys that will go if we go to Indy. Friend of mine has a good position with an NFL team ticket office and he gets tickets to any football game he wants with those connections. We have a lot of fans with big money and I'm sure they will also head up if we make Indy. Would much rather the NC game be in Dallas or Miami though.

you hit on a few different points...the SECCG for some reason gives a laughably low amount of tickets to each team's actual donors. Chalk it up to sponsors, Falcons/United PSLs, etc. For the playoffs game we will have way more alloted to us even in a smaller stadium. With the natty not being in Atlanta like 4 years ago, I'm guessing MOST ticket holders that apply for tickets will get them unless they have super low points. I mean we get ~40K for Jacksonville and pretty much everyone gets tickets there that applies for them.

This. I just sold two extras I bought a couple months ago and heard from several folks that are significant donors and have been for years that they didn’t make or didn’t think they’d make the cutoff based on what they knew. I’m betting I could have made a little more had I waited a bit, but I’d have had more competition, too. A bird in hand……

I’ve already booked my flight and hotel room for the national title game. I’ll probably go ahead and purchase a ticket on the secondary market this week. My arse will absolutely be in that stadium if we make it to the title game.
