Probably whenever you want.  Don't expect it to be a sell out.

Probably a good chance you can get freebies outside the stadium. Once you are inside, you should be able to move pretty close to the field.

prices have fallen on stub hub from $59 to $44 since last Thur, did not check to see what seats those are.
People ask me what I do in winter when there is no baseball.  I will tell you what I do. I stare out the window, and I wait for spring.

About five minutes after kickoff.

He said time to buy, not pick up off the ground

$49 at midfield in upper deck.  I'm sure they'll go lower or, as others suggest, buy them outside the stadium for close to zero.

I remember going to a crap bowl afternoon game in Nashville (playing Minnesota).   Was the worst football game experience I've had.  NFL stadium about 1/5 full, no atmosphere, no excitement and just had the feel of watching a high school scrimmage.    That was a long time ago and I still have no desire to attend such type of game again.  I enjoy rent-a-win games at the beginning of the season more.   

There were people trying to sell some cheesy shirts for ten bucks and they would throw in a free ticket to the game.  Don't know if it will be that bad, but you should pretty much be able to get into the game for next to nothing.   

All the participation trophy bowl games need to be done away with.   It's nothing more than the equivalent of the NIT in basketball.

They are a financial drain for the participating schools BUT they are an economic benefit to the city it is being played in. Not as much of a benefit they want you to believe however but still a benefit.
If I'm going to cheer players and coaches in victory, I damn sure ought to be man enough to stand with them in defeat.

If you are a veteran (or know one) you can get them free.  They are lower level seats- there are still 600 available. However you must be a veteran to join this site (they make you prove your status).  They also have some basketball tickets.

I am a veteran and have been using them for 2 years now and have gone to some great games and concerts. Its not a BS site. You can google them to see they are a legit organization that supports giving veterans tickets.  I am going to Belk Bowl (I live in Charlotte) and got mine the other day. Its sad there are still 600 tickets available.

All the participation trophy


I am so tired of this phrase. It has nothing to do with bowl games. You do not go to a bowl unless you meet certain criteria. You may think the criteria is too low, but that is far from a "participation trophy".

Probably outside the stadium.

Reminds me of buying Cotton Bowl tickets a number of years back when it was in the actual Cotton Bowl... I was worried about whether I could get tickets from Arkansas, which I did... when you actually got to the game, people were practically giving away tickets outside. The game is not a hot ticket.

$42.00 today.

$35.00 on ticket exchange.

In similar news, you can get Cotton Bowl tickets for $6 on StubHub.

Some of these $6 seats are loge seating.

Club seats are pretty cheap too.

That's the problem of scheduling a Big 10 school vs. a midwest G5 school for a bowl in Dallas.

Since nothing besides the playoffs matter anymore they need to go back to regional ties.  Let the bowls bid on teams and remove auto bids.

Is this saying now that there are only 20k tickets left now?????

No, the upper deck seats 35K or so. The lower bowl is 22K.

The BoA stadium only holds 57,000?

You might be tired of it, but that is exactly what it is.   On ESPN right now is 5-7 Miss State playing their bowl game.  The team that lost to rent-a-win South Alabama and BYU, but they did knock off UMASS and Samford while getting a 51-3 beatdown to Bama. 

They have one "quality" win against Texas A&M and with that resume and at 5-7 are in a bowl.   Call it what you want, but that is just giving a bowl game to a team for doing very little more than participating all year.   You take the field enough times and some games and breaks are going to go your way.  That's just the odds playing themselves out.

When you get beat the way we did against LSU, Bama, Auburn, & Missouri, that does not warrant a bowl game that rises above the "participation trophy" threshold.  I'm glad I get to watch another game, but "making a bowl game" is no longer the standard for a successful season.   

Even some of the star players recognize this and want nothing to do with meaningless bowl games that could ruin their NFL future if they get injured playing basically for nothing more than a meaningless "participation trophy."

The good thing about it is you can sit it the F out, watch some Dancing With the Stars reruns and Razorback football fans can go to or watch the game........win/win.
Just sitting on the deck with a cold beer and a hot tequila watching the razorbacks roam.
