Was listening to 104.5 for After the Review's BCS talks down in Nola. Ole boy had a caller wanting to know the skinny on what the percentages would be in the dome.

He made a pretty valid point that I think all you delusional gumps should realize is that after each school gives out its tickets to its TAF/(insert Bama organization here) members and students, the vast majority of the rest go to Sugar Bowl Committee members. Guess where those members tend to be located, guess what team they cheer for. He said look for a 65-35 spread LSU-Bama although I think it will be closer to 70-30. So quit being delusional gumps and thinking your going to take half the dome, freaking gumps.

Could possibly be germs but didn't see much in search, but this is for my peeps that didn't listen to 104.5 and ESPN Radio all day like myself cause work is deathly slow.

I call BS. Ohio State had more than that. It'll be 55/45 at worst.

He called them out as well saying 65 percent at least for those games and all he heard the week before those games was how it was going to be 50-50.

Just saying, might want to join the brethren on the streets, cause thats where they'll all be.

60/40 lsu, that is not bad at all. I think it will be a little closer than that.

Ohio State also had more notice and did not have to compete with LSU fans for tickets till the last minute.

LSU has an inside track on tickets through Sugar Bowl and local sponsore,etc, and they are also buying more online.

"Jennifer Swanson, a spokeswoman for TicketsNow, said 32 percent of its ticket sales have been to Louisiana residents, 15 percent each to Texas and Alabama residents, 8 percent going to Florida and 5 percent to Georgia."


This is also a little different than the previous two LSU title games as we are undefeated and knew we'd be in the game for weeks. Many LSU fans dumped tickets in 2007 after the Arkansas loss.

Advantage LSU. I guess 60-40 LSU if not 65-35.

Here's the ohio state sideline, with their school allotment on the right.




Here's LSU's sideline...




That sure doesn't appear to be much more than 25/30%

Where do I find these "local ticket brokers" you are referring to?
Also, is it not reasonable to assume that there are local ticket brokers in both Louisiana and Alabama and that the online ticket sales would closely mirror the local ticket broker sales?

Or does that not compute in Gumpthink?
