AD to sell tix for Bama game

Submitted by MGoSoftball on May 18th, 2012 at 5:21 PM

I just received an email saying the AD will sell extra tix on tix tuesday. It was addressed to me personally so I am not sure if it is by priority points or not.

Got the same email. I think it was posted a few days ago that there were additional tix made available. They will be offered based on VC points and then to the gen pub.

The cowboys reserved a large chunk of tickets for their season, ticket holders. once those were allotted to those that elected the option. the remaining tickets were offered to Michigan and Alabama.

I'm now picturing DB at a very unprofessional looking lemonade-type stand on State St. trying to hawk tickets for the Bama game @ $125 a pop. And then Taylor Lewan rides by on his twosie. That's what I'm imagining.

I imagine that David Brandon has hired David Cone to help promote the tickets by sitting at the stand with him and freestyling rhymes to passers by (and also to drop mad knowledge, yo).

Then he can "draw chalk lines around yo body" after the trampled people are recovered. Of course they arent there for the tickets but to see cone

Long time reader but rare poster. I am dying to get tickets to this game at a price under $350 (stubhub cheapest). Anyone know when these are going to be sold to general public?

Probably not ever. The initial alotment was sold out before they made it to the public, and I'm guessing these will go to season ticket holders first

I'm curious.... It is stated on the ticket office website that the additional tix are being offered to those without previous orders, first. Is this true for those of you that recieved the email?

email said that the AD was offering "me" the opportunity to buy tickets vis AD on-line ticket purchase website.

i did not buy any previous tickets. I am a FB season ticket holder and I buy all my softball tix through the website.

i'm guessing it said "you" and had no indication of whether that was singular or plural, right?

I also got an email about 2 weeks ago saying they'd be offering these tickets. First priority was to poor holders, then to season ticket holders with no points and then if there was anything left, to the general public
