What Section are you in?

[billbeck451]

I know a way to fix it to wrap us around instead of running us straight up. Reality is that last year I was in 300 level and this year people are already being put in 600 level. Last year we sold +-18000 through ticket office and 2000 +- tickets doesnt equal ending up in 600 level

I think this is bull____, why are they running us straight up and charging us the same for crap 600 level seats instead of curving us around the lower bowl like they did last year. I would almost rather watch on tv than be stuck in the ____ 600 level seats

Not trying to make you mad here... but have you ever actually sat in the 600 level before? I have sat there for 1 to 2 Saints games a year for the last 10 years and I can tell you that they are not bad seats at all. I mean if you're all the way at the very top maybe it sucks yea, but you'd be very surprised the huge difference the lower seats in that section makes from the top seats.

But I get your drift, I'm starting to wonder if they are wrapping us around at all??? Because last year we were wrapped around at least one of the endzones. I haven't heard anyone saying they are in sections in the endzones yet. I'd have to think they did though, that'd be pretty stupid to send us to the terrace before wrapping in the endzones, especially from the bowl committee's standpoint, don't they want it to look as full as possible on TV??

The university can only sell the tickets they are given, maybe the Nola bowl decided to give their corporate sponsors those seats instead.

For what it's worth, you can buy tickets on ticketmaster right now on the 50 yard line in the club level of the opposing sideline. If it were me, and I hadn't bought tickets yet.... you bet your _____ I'd be buying up those 50 yard line club seats on ECU's side.

I reserved seats through the school the Monday that the bowl was announced, and waiting for my call.

I have been in the 600 section also 100 level and 300 level and even in suites in the dome before, and 600 is horrible

Got the call yesterday evening.
Picked up ticket today.
Section 616 - terrace
Enter through Gate C --- from CHAMPIONS Square!

20,000 tickets x $50 = poo yie!! $1 miillion

Not quite how it works. We will make about $500,000 of the first 10,000 tickets. About 1/2 that on the rest.

This is a point everybody needs to fully understand ... last year is a different animal. We moved over to the visitors side to get more prime location seats BUT we are at the mercy of what sections NO Bowl releases to be used. It does make sense to fill up the lower sections before opening the terrace level but it very well could be we have filled our side on the lower sections and all that is left on our side is the terrace level.

I did it that same day and I am in section 613. Be prepared to be upset.

Below is an excerpt from a ticket office email on why they are seating upwards and not outwards:

"We are lucky that the New Orleans Bowl has opened the terrace to us this year because if you remember from last year, they kept it closed. The Loge and Plaza Levels end zone seats were given to Bowl sponsors, New Orleans Sports Foundation, and other Bowl members. We did not receive these tickets for us to sell this year. We received in our original allotment 106-122, 207C-235C, 304C-320. The only end zone seats we received were for our students (126, Band 124, and students 104). The bowl also gave us 2 section of plaza seats on the ECU side but it was decided by the athletic department and ticket office that it would be a disservice to place our own season ticket holders on the opposite side of the field from our fans and team.

The rest of the end zone unlike last year is not able to be sold by our ticket office. We did receive one section in the Loge end zone (301) but the ticket office and athletic department decided it was better to put season ticket holders on our sideline between the 20 yard lines. We started with 5 sections in the 500 level and 3 in the 600 level. This has grown to sections 511-523 and 611-617. We are going to continue to place orders in the sections and keep working our way until all of the orders are filled.

The major difference in seating in the terrace this year compared to last is that we received no plaza or loge end zone seats, except for those few sections I mentioned above."

that is bs why turn down better seats to put your fans in worse seats - last year we wrapped around the whole dome and it looked great this year we will run up one side and the cameras will see empty sections - ____ poor planning on our administrations part which will come back to bite them in their ___ when we have to travel a little further and they have ____ed off fans because they ____ed this up
