I would very much like to do both of these. Hopefully they don't conflict so I can just emaw my face off all day long (on my birthday too!  )

If you call them, they will tell you where your seats are.  I like to know things like this.

Oh nice. I'll probably do the chat thing tomorrow. Every time I call them I get a busy signal.

Why are we once again at the off site facility?  This is rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

Because the actual site location sucks for out of town visitors.

Guess what just arrived at my front door. Section 124 Row 3

[MadCat]

looks like they scanned in some football card from the 60s and used that for their ticket graphics

Yes truly awful

[Emo EMAW]

Any section 123ers?   

[asava]

This is pretty bullshit. Just learned that my tickets were bumped from the $225 ticket to the $144 ticket. Sitting in Section 445, Row 23. Btw, shouldn't this be saved for the Roll Call thread?

Same here.. Did you talk to the ticket office and get any explanation? Was pretty pumped for EMAWshing behind #Life and yelling your turn is coming.

When you pre-ordered you did so knowing that this could happen, or at least you were supposed to know. The reason being that we were too far down the list and that the $225 tickets were all given to people above us.

If it makes you feel any better we got bumped from $144 to like the upper corner because we have literally no Ahearn points.  Not sure how much ours will be in that section, but at least we'll be in the stadium and it's a lot cheaper than the Cotton Bowl at least.

[irishpunk]

I'm right beside you in 124.

Yes, these tickets look like crap, so does their website....All the other Bowl websites look good and have good format.

[daBish7]

Just found out I'm in 139. Am I gonna get bumped?

Your upper corner tickets are probably still $144.  The original $144 option included the upper corner of the KSU section.  The only other option on the order form was $105, and they screwed up by making that an option as those are the student tickets.  We put in for the $105 and got an email a right after the announcement saying we were getting bumped up to the $144 because they screwed up.   

[Tobias]

they haven't actually "bumped" anyone who was told they were getting better seats, have they?  i'm assuming you guys mean that you were initially charged like everyone else for the max selected ticket price and didn't get your selection? if not, that sucks

i remember being told that i would be getting the $225 seats, being charged and then refunded as of yesterday and told the tickets were no longer available. i don't think it was so much "bullshit" as it was me being deeply saddened that i am not elite enough to warrant field passes.

[AbeFroman]

Section 122 here. Looks like we're going to own 75% of that stadium

[Phil Titola]

Here is how the elite are getting to the game

http://Http://fiesta.bowlbus.com

Only 5 spots left from Scottsdale. Seemed like a good option versus paking all day then trying to battle the white hairs driving 40 min. Can pak on the bus it appears.

[irishpunk]

Shows up too late though, missing all the good tailgating.

Yeah, I got hosed too. Was pissed about it, sent a really nice e-mail to the guy who told me that my tickets were secured, and nicely explained to him how disappointed I was about the process. I mean, really, we couldn't fit 20,000 people (if they paid for it) on the lower level?

I'm sorry, just not good logic. I don't know what section I am in yet, but I'm sure I'll know once he replies back to me tomorrow.

[Tobias]

there was a lot of available info about the process well before apps were due, dunno why people are surprised at the seats they got (mine suck, knew they were going to suck)

[bones129]

If I had enough money, I would fly by private jet to the nearest airport, hire a chopper to get me as close to the stadium as possible, then walk in an hour before kick off. During the game, I'd make sure one member of my entourage bumped someone out of the best hotel suite in the area so my folks could have it. The next day, we'd head back. Then I'd say we had kicked a lot of ass.

I think this is going to be a fun game with lots of purple, hopefully we don't fall on our faces during the game
