PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[SteveAztec]

Here is the official wording on the info for this great cause...
____________________________________________________________________

San Diego State Athletics, the Aztec Club and the Marshall Faulk Foundation have teamed up to provide tickets to elementary age children in New Orleans. Aztec Fans may call the Aztec Ticket office and sponsor a New Orleans youth to attend the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl pitting Marshall’s San Diego State Aztecs versus the Ragin Cajuns of Louisiana Lafayette. For every ticket that Aztec fans purchase, the Marshall Faulk Foundation will match that purchase. Tickets are priced at $40 each. To sponsor a New Orleans youth, please contact the Aztec Ticket Office at (619) 283-7378.

I don't really have anything to complain about since I just found out that I will be able to attend the game. I just called a few minutes ago to buy tickets, and was also told that no 300 level tickets were being sold. He said I would be in the end zone most likely in the 200 level, which I am fine with. My question is this? At what point will we stop taking orders for tickets? If it is taking this long to call everyone back, and the game is only a week away, it would have to be really soon.

He did tell me that the number of tickets sold so far is over 17K. I'm still a little disappointed in the number, but it is what it is I guess. With the time remaining until the game, I don't see us selling over 20K. Hopefully, they'll learn from this year, and it will be handled much better next time around.

FYI, the tickets in that listing are on the Aztecs side of the field.

Wow

Sometimes it's hard being right.

Sometimes it's hard being right.

Not to be confused with a Hard Right. And if there is going to be a Hard Right, better to be Givers than takers.

If the school sold 17000 then I would guess 5000-10000 from other outlets and 5000 or so freebies then 5000 or so from San Diego and bands the dome will blow past any previous records

Okay, I may just be stuck in lafayette for reasons we won't get into.. (grins)

It just is hitting me.. I probably not the only one.. Have just made a call and "hopefully" will have some details soon to be able to join other Cajun fans at a place to root..

ps. Yes the "definition" of "root" also forthcoming (God willing.. (smiles)

Got mine today. I must say that my experience with the "UL" ticket folks has been great, but the "Cajundome" box office could use some customer service training. The person who left a message on my voicemail called me by the wrong name. So I called back to make sure those tickets were mine, because I didn't want to waste a trip to the Cajundome (I'm on foot). They refused to check. In the words of Chris Christie, "What the hell are we paying you for?"

Section 325, Row 13, Seats 5, 6 and 7. Sorry to those who donate more, bought tickets way earlier and didn't get these. It's on the Visitors' side. Are Cajuns fans actually sitting together? I hope that, since I purchased through the University, that I'll be sitting around Cajuns fans. Seems pretty random to me. But I'm happy. i've got my tickets, and I didn't even think in a million years that when we finally got to a bowl game, I'd actually be able to go. So I'm thrilled.
