PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[billbeck451]

We should be hearing soon from the athletic department. I made my reservation today and it was $89 for 2 tickets and was told that I would receive a call to choose seats soon he also said that those would probably be 100 level seats. The gentleman in the athletic department was very helpful even though he sounded like he hadn't stopped all day long

they told me on the phone today at the ticket office that you would not be able to select that they would begin filling from the center out with the deposit seats then move on from there.

not sure if this is accurate but, just what i was told. if anyone has any insight i would appreciate it.

thanks

It is my understanding that RCAF members will be seated first (The higher the contribution, the better the seats) then season ticket holders with no RCAF membership will be seated second, then students will be seated third and finally the general public with no season tickets or RCAF membership who called and reserved tickets will be seated last.

OK, Was just checking. i'm not sure they are really sure how they are doing it since this is all new to them and the first time through it. but, she told me that the deposited people went first in the order described. then the people that ordered once it became first come fisrt serve would be seated in the order listed as well.

so was wondering if since we deposited early it gave precedence over the ones who chose not to?

Chances are that CUSA will not have the necessary eligible teams to fill all of their bowl slots, and that a couple of Major conferences will have too many eligible schools.


Would you rather play SMU, East Caolina, or Marshall.....or Iowa State, Iowa, Purdue, or Syracuse?


To me, if SMU is not coming, I 'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for a shot at one of those Major programs.

This could possibly happen. I would love to see us play a Big Ten or a Big East school.

i get what your saying but they are in the business of selling fan apparel, do they really have a choice? its not like a resteraunt flying a flag or catering to certain fans. They make their living off of selling those items. Not sure I would translate that into support.

People open businesses to make money, therefore they stock merchandise that sells. For many years UL did not produce many items that people wanted to buy. That has improved quite a bit in recent years, but still not to the degree of items produced by LSU. I have purchased a number of UL items from both Bell's and Louisiana Hot Stuff and I've enjoyed everything purchased from either store. I don't think Cajun fans ought to discount any outlet or store selling any amount of Cajun items. It is up to us as fans to create the market for Cajun merchandise and if we do, I'm sure all stores will add to their inventory.

Just like the BCS, it's all about the money!

Spoke to friend who called to get his tickets today. He bought them outright (no deposit) and was told that the $62 seats are sold out.

This is new to the old timers at UL, but this is not new to Scott Farmer. Therefore, Scott has a good handle on it and is coaching his staff on how all this works!

thanks Duggie, so i guess i'll just wait till they call and maybe get to select seats. i thought it sounded odd that you wouldn't be able to select seats??

Looks like our dreams of the N.O. Bowl have been crushed! Apparently we aren't going to any bowl game

Yea, you can always go to Parkway if you want the second best po-boys in New Orleans. Or you can go to Domilise's on Annunciation For the best po-boys. Tell Nu-Nu and Josh that Tony sent you.
