Any of y'all ever have problems getting into games with GA tickets? I figure y'all have the most packed games of any team (the TCU 15 game is the attendance record).

Just trying to decide how early I need to get to the stadium to feel confident of being let in with a GA ticket from my book of tickets.

Thanks! See y'all in Omaha...err Eauxmaha


Edit for clarity - I'll be going to the 7:00 Saturday LSU/FSU game and the 1:00 Sunday A&M/L'ville games

I've never had an issue getting in with GA tickets. You might have to sit facing or in the sun, but you'll get in.

Note that you can move all the way around the park. If in shitty seat and you see good open one's and you're really polite to the ushers, they will often let you move into grandstand seats. Also note those ushers are serious about letting people go to seats while the game is in action (is a way to piss them off if you try to move into their section while in play).

Lots of people buy books and then only go to select games. Others struggle with the heat. So even if sold out, there's always seats.

If you want a seat in GA for LSU game, it's best to leave the first game early and go wait in line.

For LSU games, the line can get over 150 yards long. Not exaggerating.

If you don't mind standing, go right before gametime. Don't remember them ever turning people away.

The GA lines are long as frick the first Saturday but they aren't bad after that. It's going to be a long line for the LSU/FSU game but it's not too bad after that. Most fans and most locals go for the first weekend.

A lot of information is on www.cwsomaha.com. There is an NCAA ticket exchange. There are also limited numbers of tickets each day at the ticket office when they open. Then there are brokers - ticketexpress and redzonetickets. Finally, there are always people selling tickets outside the gates. They have to be off the stadium property, but they are anywhere from blocks away to directly across the street.

To get reserved tickets, you can buy through flashseats.

Also, TD Ameritrade holds some tickets to sell at the ticket window in the morning before the games. The lines get long, so they hand out numbers up until the time the ticket window opens. At this time, they draw a random number out of ahat and this person is first in line and everyone in front of this number gets screwed. So it doesn't really pay to get there early. To increase your odds, I'd get there a little early and everyone in your party jump in line at different points in the line.
