Bama and LSU games sell-outs

[ricepig]

As expected, I figure Florida and OM will soon follow. I thought we might sell out the season tickets, but I guess not.

It's going to be a really tough ticket this season.

But how can that be? They raised prices.

It wouldn't surprise me that you can buy $150 beer drinking seats, and there will be tickets for face or less.

Primary seats are sold out, I doubt all the indoor club seats are sold.

I know. Just giving those that complain constantly about ticket prices and would not go even if they were given a ticket for free a hard time.

I fully understand, why complain if you don't buy them?

[Pulled(PP)pork]

just called said tickets for same starting on the 9th

Because I live out of state and cannot get to the games. Plus I'm a petty little punk and want to guilt you game-goers as much as I can.

You can still buy them and complain........

If we lose to TCU and/or Bama, how quickly do we see a truckload of tickets to the other marquee games go up for sale?

I buy season tickets and you think you can guilt me? Not on your life.

P.S. You'd be surprised as to how many people from outside the state of Arkansas go to the games in the state of Arkansas. I know that's at least the wife and I and the six people that sit next to us at RRS.

I'd go too if I lived in Memphis.

What difference does it matter? Sold is sold.

Come on over from Nashville and you can ride with us. Besides you are really close to get to go to several away games a year as are we.

I go to road games regularly, but it's not the same as home.

Fayetteville is 8 hours from Nashville, 4 1/2 from Memphis.  If I can't drive somewhere in 5 hours I usually fly, but there are no direct flights from Nashville to NWA, so travel time by air or car is about the same.  Throw in my kids' weekend cheerleading and football for the last 9 years, and it's tough to make it to games.  One way or another, I manage a home game or so every year as a matter of principle.

Before the internet came along, I was known to drive almost to Memphis to pick up untelevised Razorbacks games on the radio.

If CBS does their double header possibly.

If not, CBS will do the Bama/LSU game, probably Bama's 4th game on CBS by then.....

The SEC announced last week the the Bama/LSU game will be at night.

Ok, must have slept since then.

Didn't they make special exception last year about that rule for the LSU Bama game?

[TUSKtimes]

What's interesting is that's a real possibility. CBS has been trying doubly hard the last few years to set up Bama/LSU in the evening. Many Cajuns have lobbied hard to stop playing us in the 2:30-time slot in Baton Rogue. Turns out Bama is much more nocturnal than otherwise thought.

Quickly. But on the flip side of we start off hot they will be higher demand for higher prices.

Only game I've seen where there literally wasn't a ticket to be had unless you wanted to shell out $300 or so for nosebleeds was 2010 Bama game. Be nice if we could ever get that kind of excitement back to the program again.

That environment  was unbelievable

Probably the best ever. Nothing has come close since.

At least you aren't dedicated or anything!  Lol

Best part of that game experience came I believe when Greg McElroy was being interviewed after the SEC championship game. He said the loudest stadium they played in all year was Fayetteville, even louder than Tuscaloosa. 

That was an unforgettable game experience.  The student section was crazy!

Also the games aren't really sell outs yet.


They are trying to entice people who were waiting on single game tickets today to just get season tickets.



It's a smart move.

Correct, you can still buy season tickets in the club areas, and a small number of lower level tickets. The tweet said "primary" tickets were sold out, whatever that is, haha. They'll keep the this group as season tickets for awhile.

[rhames]

I'm really surprised they are even selling Ole Miss and Florida tickets today and not, as of right now, doing an SEC package like they did last year. I'm sure they've ran the numbers and are approaching it the best way they see it though.

Reading through this I immediately thought of the 1985 Texas game. Hatfield was a great man and a very good coach, but his teams had a pretty well deserved reputation for not showing up in big games. So it was typical that we came in on a high and ranked #4 in the country, but wound up in a field goal kicking contest and couldn't even win that.

So far, Bielema doesn't seem to have that problem....even when the other team is clearly better. If we can roll into the Alabama game undefeated there will be one helluva buzz in town, the kind that gets the average Joe off the couch and out looking for tickets.

And can you just imagine how it would be if we came out of that weekend still undefeated?

They'd prefer season ticket sales, lol. I guess they are going to sell the remaining Florida and OM seats up to the numbers of the Bama and LSU "sellouts".
