PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[leeman]

Just left the dome, they had quite a few people reserving tickets for the bowl game. Lady taking payment said it has been steady crowd today.

why would people stand in line when you can order with a few clicks online?... just like when someone tells me they need to go and drop off their electric bill payment..I'm lke 'what'?...lol... maybe some individuals just like things the old way?..

Some may want group seating. You need to go to the dome to get that.

Anybody have any idea what the biggest # of fans brought by a Belt team was ?????

Guaranteed payouts are a misnomer. Payouts in almost every bowl (especially the minor ones) are
determined by the no. of tickets you sell. a 750 grand bowl allows you the opportunity to sell tickets up to that value. There is no other bowl available in which we make as much money as New Orleans. After we
collect the half million, we get half of the additional revenue beyond that point. Scott Farmer discussed
this briefly on Jay Walker's show yesterday.

Being a patriotic American & understanding the right of the public to question the leadership of its institutions in the decision making process, I applaud the discussion on this thread. However, when the topic of why THIS bowl comes up & three reasonable, intelligent, highly informed posters confirm that the AD made the case for buying tickets through the school in PUBLIC, then the questioning of other bowl sights & who gets what money & how, should be brought to an end with a role call vote for all the yeas to establish their approval of such a swift & bodacious move.

My vote is yea, amen, & furthermore, let's take some of this money & continue to pad the pockets of this coaching staff so as to feather those pillows & make it real hard for them to think about spreading their wings to fly away.

"Louisiana Lafayette Ragin Cajuns Football Tickets at U. SW LA-Cajun Field" This is the link to UL tickets on the Cajundome ticketmaster page online. They think we are still USL!..... Wow!

The athletic dept doesnt know their head from their _____. Called to reserve tics, but they couldnt tell me the price of tics that i was reserving for $30.. They stated from $70-$120.. Why should i pay that much for tics from UL when i can go to NO bowl website and get them for $40?

Maybe it's you that doesn't know. They can't quote prices because they don't have any info yet. That is why they are taking a deposit to go towards the price of the ticket.

You won't be able to buy the same seat for a better price by going to the NO bowl website ... you also won't be helping the university, but by the way you want to blame someone else expect that doesn't matter to you.

These type of posts really need to go away. I know it is America and everybody has the right but this is just stupid.

Does the Sunbelt Conference get any funds from this bowl game, and if so, where does that money come from?

Must UL "share" this potential 500K payout with anyone?

Does the opposing team receive the same payout (assuming they sell the same number of tickets)?

[CajunEXPRESS]

The seat is not important, I just want to go to the game. The reason I asked about the other team's allotment is because money is tight at the moment. When I do have the money for it, I want to make sure that I can get a decent seat, even if its on the other team's side.

You people need to get the hell over your sensitivity.

The reason you buy the ticket option though UL is so they get maximum benefit. The bowl knows who is buying the tickets, the team gets a split on sales above the miimum. I have been to many games in the Mercedes Super Dome, and there are hardly any "bad" seats. Get your tickets now, support UL, you will be glad with your choice. Do not support our opponent by supplementing their income flowl.

Can't wait to go party in the lovely French Quarter that Saturday. Hell, only 12 people got shot there on Monday this week. Or was it 15 and 3 died but 12 still survived? Either way, hide yo wife and chillrenz.

Will be there regardless.

I'll be booking at least 12 Saturday at the ticket office.
