PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[leeman]

Ok, the confusion continues.....Does Anyone have a physical ticket in their hand?... I called today to get tics and was put on the list.. Jay just said on his show just now you can walk up and get a ticket... I don't think they are right.. he needs to interview the head of the box office to clear everything up..... I understand they have to place those that have put down a deposit first... so, how can they sell tickets before those seats are filled?.. unless they are gen admission.. the tic guy told me the 62.00 tics are VERY limited and are being reserved for VIP's then whatever's left over will be sold.. if any.. anyway... that's my take.....

Yeah, they have never sold out a Sugar Bowl or BCS championship game at the Superdome before so they don't know what they are doing in NOLA for any college football games.

It's UL's first trip to a bowl game in 41 years and you might not go if you can't sit in an aisle seat???

C'MON MAN!!!

Stay at home and watch it on TV then!!!

No I will be there. You must not be married. = - )

Oh Santa Claus... it's "ceremonies"... apparently it didn't sharpen your IQ quite enough. Keep trying...

Ok Turbine. I'm lobbying for spell check & J1M you aint getting tickets on the 25th either. Be expecting lump of coal in your stocking.

If you're giving em out on the 25th, won't they be a little bit worthless??

I would agree with this ranking although I am having a hard time with 3 and 4. I think I would have them switched.

I ranked them that way because of expectations of the programs involved, and the amount of exposure winning in the NCAA tournament brings in comparison to the WCWS. All four choices are fantastic though!

I don't think any "tickets" are out yet ... with there being a heirarchy of ticket redemption, it seems to me we need to hear about a deadline for anyone to get in their seat "reservations". Now I am speaking mainly of RCAF, season ticket holders, etc. that have yet to respond ... they would get the best of the rest available seats; then tickets would open up to the casual buyer.

Just my take.

I believe Jay said "You can walk up and buy a ticket". Not get one in your hand.

It sounds like these people are basically putting a deposit down with 100% of the money instead of the $30 that we all did.

[USL1970]

70 out of 120 FBS teams make bowl games. That's more than half.
16 out of like 350 basketball teams make the Sweet 16.
8 out of like 300 teams make the College World Series.


Just because we've underachieved in football doesn't mean making a bowl game is more impressive.

good statistics and good point

UL Won the national powerlifting championships this year - biggest national sports achievement so far this year.

UL football is a "breakthrough" year, but not greatest football season so far .... #1 Oil Bowl 1944 , #2 Grantland Rice Bowl 1970 (9-2 regular season?) ... however, after this season is over plus the bowl game results, then we decide how this year's team ranks.

Yeah, but I'd bet you that jay thinks you could walk away with a ticket... he has no Idea... he doesn't have to worry about that..lol... so, I guess what has to happen is the ticket office has to bust ___ to 'catch up' and assign tickets even while reservations are still being made! They cannot sell ONE physical ticket until that is done...It must be hectic in that office.. I'd be curious to know how many reservations were made just today! Geaux Cajuns!

[Turbine]

Are they going to issue generic tickets that don't have the actual opponents playing in the New Orlans Bowl?

I would hope not. Hang tight.
