2012 New Orleans Bowl Where You Sitting?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Take this how you will. For all of us at the all conference, varsity and below that are dismayed by the rejection of lesser value tickets that means there are enough people on top of us as far as donations go which means more money than we assumed so net positive right?
Plus we will be higher thus giving us fist dibs on the beer vendors...you see im a silver lining kinda guy

Last year I got eight great seats. This year I qualify for six, and asked for eight. Was asked if I wanted to split, or get eight in non priority, or just six. Advised them six, I can get better non priority seats for free. Sorry it came to this.

I just did the math based off of the RCAF numbers from last games program.

38 LA Classics=16 tickets per=608 seats
32 AD Circle =12 tickets per = 384 seats
53 All American=10 tickets per= 530 seats
161 All Cajun=8 tickets per= 1288

That totals 2810 priority tickets in levels above All Conference, if all the members requested the maximum amount of tickets. I am guessing that if you are all conference and you received $42 tickets, either you requested those, or something is screwed up at the box office.

Just got the call. Haven't picked up the tickets yet, but based on what they charged my credit card it looks like I got the $42 tickets.
Are the $62 ones all gone? As a $250 RCAF member I thought I'd make the cut...

I qualified for (6) priority seats and ordered six. My credit card charge was for $264.95, so hopefully I received six tickets ... but if so they will be $44.16 per ticket.

However, I did group my tickets with a $250 RCAF member.

Are the $44 tickets still priority seats ... just second level (lodge)?

Thanks,
Brian

Last year the $60 seats were the 3 sections from 30 yard line to 30 yard line. All others were $40 no matter where located or level. I was on the 28 yard line (aisle seat) lower level and paid $40. The people across the aisle had $60 seats from me.

Yeah, but I would have to guess that there would be more than 2800 seats between the 30's in the lower level. If so who received those tickets?

I'd imagine RCAF is not the only group that enjoys priority ticket reservations.

Just checked. I have a charge no call. I may have $62 based on the charge...

Just got my call a few minutes ago. All priority, and the remaining are all ready for pickup.

FYI, he suggested that not everyone go tomorrow at 10AM to pickup. They will be there until 12/20 and can be gotten any day. They don't need EVERYONE showing up at the same time.

I would agree with that.

If so who received those tickets?

I believe that I did.

What other groups? The priority levels are listed in the RCAF brochure are pretty clear. The bowl ticket request indicates determining factors as RCAF, season ticket holders, and current students.

I think it would be a serious error by the university to allow any other group ahead of donors to have priority on tickets. If they are giving tickets to family of players, they should be non-priority or go through the process like everyone else, IMO.

A lot of times, sponsors of these games are given the best seats. You can bet your a.$.$. that R+L Carriers get a few tickets in the prime seats. I would hope they put them on the other side where less ECU fans would be, but who knows.

i.e. The Sugar Bowl, every LA congressman/woman and senator still gets 2 tickets to the game. I haven't heard that this changed.
