Has anyone heard how well ticket sells are going?

I assume they aren’t going well. I’m hoping now that the dust has settled that it will pick up has anyone heard anything? Has the University said anything about how well they are selling the allotment they have?

Insight is happy with their sales, on pace for record attendance; no mention of how either University is selling their allotments.

Allotment can't be going very well.

We ordered 2 lower level tickets and we got a personal email from Pam asking if we wanted to upgrade to the Loge seats (seat backs, biggers seats and free pop and snacks). Didn't do it though as they were worse seats.

Interesting, the news just reported only 6,000 sold through the University. Maybe people are catching on to the fact that the University seats are not the best. Could also be the Snowbirds and transplants buying them up.

Sounds like the schools themselves are having so so sales but still early.

The one thing they don't mention is that the Fiesta Bowl tickets are being sold as a package in some cases. Insight Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, and BCS Fiesta Bowl tickets are sold as a package deal. That probably is helping sales a bit.

When figuring in their number the Insight figures in 11,000 for each school or 22,000 total because what the University doesn't sell they eat and the Insight Bowl still counts as sold.

So taking that 22,000 out of the total that would mean the Insight Bowl has directly sold around 28,000 themselves, they may say in the end that they sold 55,000 tickets but no way will there be that many people at the game.
