"Billy Cannon" plan.
Just using that term tongue in cheek, long before the Tiger Mafia Athletic Foundation took over the extortion racket that is todays' way of obtaining tickets, Cannon, while a player, would work during the summer and buy a section of seats, at face, during times, as you pointed out, that sellouts weren't common. As the Tigers became better, and more people wanted to see them, he would sell those tickets on game day. Presumably for a profit. Documented story.

South end zone for many years (1969-77). First game ever for me was the 21-20 Auburn game, and the last was a home win over Mississippi State in 1977. In 1978, the west upper deck opened for the Indiana game.

Yes, yes! Damn the TAF and their outrageous use of the supply and demand curves! It's bordering on capitalism. I'm sure you sell your services for a low price to the most needy.
