Texas A&M fans...question about your ticket allotment for the Bama game.

Did you sell them all? Alabama is now offering Tide Pride members with low point totals the opportunity to buy aTm tickets that they previously couldn't get. Our ticket office says that they are coming from tickets that you guys returned. I'm not necessarily buying that. Seems awfully early for a school like Texas A&M to be returning tickets. I also find it hard to believe that you guys would be returning any tickets at all.
Any of you Ags have any insight into this?

The whole ticket situation is pretty tricky right now.
1. The Cost - (I feel most school have hit the price point of pricing out the Real hard core fans).
2. Cost of Parking - (It's not just a expense, it's over the top gouging) - just like football tickets.
3. Saving Money!! - (Watch it in the comfort of your own living room) Eating and Dranking like a king with your friends. AND STILL Saving $1000s!!
The atmosphere has change in those High dollar Stadiums around the country. A lot of the fans attending games as a social event, with little concern about who actually wins the game. Leaving at halftime.

Don't have any concrete info, but it seems awfully early in the process to return tickets. Also, given what happened in T-Town last time we visited, I would assume more Ags would go than normal. No flame, just giving my opinion.

We haven't yet been notified.
Check back early August?

best guess is because we shorted you last year (we haven't been giving a normal allotment due to space pre-renovation) that you are only giving us 6k or whatever which is less than anyone else, meaning there are tickets not part of normal season ticket packages for that game.
We wouldn't be returning any at this point (and I'd be shocked if we did anyway).

I don't think they've even been made available for purchase yet.

thats a reasonable explanation.
I have talked to many aggies that went that even before the game ended, it was one of the best road experiences they have ever had.
I feel that word of mouth would kick in and get a few more aggies there this year than in 2012. Couple with the fact that yall played Ole Miss away for two years in a row/playing Arky in Dallas/LSU at home. Your left with Miss State and USC for other away games.

This is the reason. TAMU didn't have enough tickets pre-renovation to match up with the SEC's requirements so their opponents are allowed to reciprocate only what TAMU offers to them until the expansion is completed.
