Wisconsin returned 2000 of their 15,000 ticket allotment for the big 10 championship game. I'm pretty happy with 18,000. Move move move I would love to top 40,000 for the game overall. I guess we'll see.

I just saw on katc that there only 600 more tickets allotted to UL before encroaching on the Aztec side. I'd be willing to bet that a lot more bought tickets through ticketmaster than you'd think
18K tickets sold is outstanding. You can be sure that no other school has approached that number for the New Orleans Bowl. Do not be fooled about total attendance figures given. That number includes corporate sponsor tickets.
Local NOLA Q: How well is this game marketed in the New Orleans area?
The saints have worked out a deal where season ticket holders get tickets to the NO bowl for 10 dollars
Section 101 Row 23.............Endzone...hopefully will see the cajuns it it!!
well be in the same neighborhoodQuote:

I know of some Cajun fans in Lafayette that didn't like the fact that they couldn't pick out their seats, so they went through Ticketmaster. With some of the complaints I heard about the process, I wouldn't be surprised if the number of Cajun fans who did that is significant.
A LOT!!!!Quote:

Anybody know how many ticket sales are required to get the full amount for the bowl appearance?
I bought off of stubhub, expect to see at least 1k from there
Were you unaware that buying from the athletic dept directly benefits the cajuns or did you choose stub hub to be able to pick your own seats?Quote:

These tickets could not possibly be any further apart, and still be in the allotted "UL" sections.
Obviously, Im not very happy with the way this has turned out. I completely understand that there will be hiccups since this is the first time we've done this, but this is the least "fan friendly" thing I've ever seen.
Hopefully the game will be much smoother for the Cajuns than the ticket sales have been for the fans.
Section 144 Row 20 Seats 12,13,and 14

I haven't seen but one TV promotion. Perhaps they have just hit it right or they regularly watch a different station for their news. I almost always watch WWL.Quote:

Certainly our sales will be the bulk of total sales, but I am looking forward to seeing how many butts are in the seats come gametime. I am hoping for somewhere in the mid- to high- 30's. Or more!Quote:
