SEC chatter has big results in Aggieland

First time in aTm history the Aggies sold out their season tickets.

I think this is the first time since they added the end zone seating in the late 90s.

The SEC talk helps some too but is definitely 1B, behind on field success being 1A

I would think this as well.

Winning is a HUGE plus. I also think a big difference is that the price of a ticket is less than the perceived value of a ticket due to it being final season of Big 12.

You can buy a season ticket now for less than you will be able to buy an OSU (Championship implications), BU (End of 100+ year Battle of the Brazos rivalry), and the game we officially say good bye to Texas University.

It will be interesting to see the scalper values this year.

Folks wanting to get on the list for future schedules has definitely been a factor. Would have sold out even sooner if a move had been announced.

The top 10 ranking and expectation of winning is huge. I think there were something like 76k in the stands to see the game against Stephen F. Austin last year.

Aggies kept showing up even when the games were seemingly less attractive. Stadium expansion has got to happen if we go SEC.

And if you buy season tickets now, you get first option to buy next season when the big boys come to town.

I think that was a very big factor.

Mahootney- Because demand is going to increase.

This does not compute with this:

yes it does

Unlike the ACC and B12, every team in the SEC would have a good number of fans willing to travel to College Station.

I get it. I get it. Damn. Nobody has a sense of humor.

Uh, if you think this is our first sellout... We've been talking about stadium expansion before this. This just intensified it.

I'm just going off of what the OP wrote.

quote:

First time in aTm history the Aggies sold out their season tickets. Looks like the SEC is already having an impact.
quote:
"We sold 1,400 tickets in the last two weeks alone, since all of the SEC talk started," said Miles Marks, president of the school's 12th Man Foundation. "We've sold out of season tickets for the first time in history."

So you have a sell out. You will most likely continue to sell out. SEC schools consistently sell out. Stadium expansion happens. Consider me informed.
But when the article says this is your FIRST season ticket sell out, and you're already talking stadium expansion, it makes it seem like you're reaching just a little.

I think you are misunderstanding. Every seat for every game has been sold through season ticket sales with the exception of visiting team allocation and overflow temporary seating that we used for only sell out games in the part.

There are NO single game tickets this year.

In the past we would sell out about 3 games a year. This year we will have a sell out for Idaho.

There's a difference between "talking stadium expansion" and "doing stadium expansion". It's probably wise to start planning something a few years in advance if you think it might be necessary down the road.

Really? I guess you're right.

You guys need to get some thick skin. You can't even take a light-hearted jab.
