Thanks I might give it a shot. Two points can be huge. Also I am assuming there will be no other priority point events this semester.

A friend of mine claims to remember a pep rally being held in '07 for priority points but I couldn't remember.

How do you know all these things dealing with student tickets when your not a student?

You will get them for the BCSCG.

1. Students are only going to be able to request 1 seat
2. Tickets are $175 more than they were just 4 years ago

I was a student, and I helped create the priority point system in 2005.

I never even heard a number for SECCG tickets this year did they fulfill everybody? I know it was 147 or so in 07. If everybody got tickets that's good for the people on the closer to 120 end of things because fewer students with points in their ballpark are getting the 5 for this weekend.


I gotta think it'll be right on the 125-130 line. Our home schedule was garbage and a lot of people don't realize until its too late that not going to kentucky NWst or WKU is going to leave them on the outside looking in. Then add in people who only bought the 5 ticket package because of Ark being Thanksgiving weekend. There probably aren't just a whole ton of people who hit up every home game even in a huge year like this.

I still have my bama and UO ticket stubs. I wonder if the school would give me points for attending without getting them through their allotment? That would set me up nicely.

With 129? I sure as hell hope so.

They could be 200 bucks more, I just need to be in the dome. Missed out as a Freshmen in '07. This season alone made my decision to go to grad school worth it.

That's all home games plus one away game and two 2 point awards.

In 2007 it was all home games and 11 extra points. I remember everyone bitching because it was more than the home games, but you didn't even have to leave Louisiana to get all the points because of the Tulane game at the dome.

LSU will get the same student ticket allotment, but only one ticket per student. The number won't go up.

I see. Well why would 9 extra points be the number for this year when it was 11 in '07?

I'm just saying it'll be lower than the all home games plus 11 in 2007 because of the changes to the ordering of tickets.

Huh? If said student has gone to every home and away game and misses this 5 point game, they will be getting tickets for 1/9.

And the total cost of a BCSCG ticket is probably more than most students will spend this weekend in ATL. So yes, there will be some students who can't afford the $350/ticket price tag.

They might as well put 160+ on the damn field. More room for us commoners with 120+.

If you login to your student ticket account, it should tell you there.
