Bowl Game Seat Limits

[UK78ALUM]

After having season football tickets since 1978, I was informed by letter yesterday that I will only be allowed to order 2 tickets for the Chick-fil-A, Outback, Capital One and Sugar bowls. :thumbdn:

However, I can order as many as I like for the Independence, Liberty, Music City and Cotton bowls. :icon_rolleyes:

Puts me in an interesting predicament. I guess if I want to see my family over the holidays I need to be hoping for either the Cotton or MCB.

As far as the four big bowls go, damn right I'll be ordering 2 tix and probably turning right around and selling them and watching the game at home.

Well, I'm in the if we get to you category. Just missed out on being high enough to get 2. :shrug1: I'm definitely putting in for them and hope for the best. Haven't had season tic that long, but feel I lost out on a couple of points which would have moved me up a couple of notches.:icon_frown:

would love to see us go to Catlanta for the peach bowl we owned Catlanta if we cant be there winning the East heck lets go down there DEC 31st lol

I had the same response when I got the email from UK about bowl tickets. :icon_rolleyes: We have a group that tailgates together and has gone to other bowls together. Now we'll have to sit separately, if we all get to go at all. UKAA is giving the bigger donors the right to get more tickets and probably turn around and sell them instead of letting UK fans go to the games. Jeez.:shrug1:

Where do you get your information that UK is offering more tickets to big donors? If anything, those with multiple season tickets are the ones being penalized.

Simple logic shows that in most of these games there wouldn't be enough tickets to allow even a 1 for 1 Bowl ticket for every single season ticket holder at Commonwealth.

For example, Raymond James Stadium (Outback Bowl) holds 65,700. I would estimate that locally in Tampa that 10-15,000 tickets are sold to local fans and particularly to the big name sponsors. That would leave roughly 50,000 tickets to be divided among the two schools playing.

Logically, 40,000 (or more) season ticket holders from Commonwealth can't buy an equivalent number of tickets at the Bowl. There just aren't enough seats. If this was allowed, not all orders from regular season ticket holders could be filled, and you would REALLY see widespread scalping and price gouging from your fellow UK fans. The ones that WANT to be able to buy more tickets than needed.

I've got four season tickets at Commonwealth, and I'll happily buy two at one of the larger Bowls or four at one of the smaller ones.

I suggest we appreciate the fact that we could be in such a "pickle", buy the tickets we can get and enjoy being a 'football school'!!!

(Plus, I bet if you sent in your individual orders in a single envelope the ticket office would seat you together.)

I was told by the ticket office this morning, that the order forms could not be mailed in. We had to apply online or by fax. :shrug1:

Perhaps because the number of tickets you can order is based on the K Fund priority rank which is determined by how much you donate.:shrug1:

"Big donors" includes years you've been a season ticket holder as well as K Fund seats. I imagine everyone with a suite is in the 1-100 priority.

BTW, who do you think #1 is? A company? owned by?

Guess: Seth Hancock?

Fax them in together?
Got to be a way to be able to purchase tickets together.

OK, after reading all of this, I called the ticket office and asked them specifically about a group getting seats together. It CAN be done, but you pay a price. Here's how it works -

You get your group together and submit the ticket request to the ticket office. The ticket request must be delivered as stated earlier, can't be mailed. I would assume faxing as a group would work as well.
Your tickets will be delved out as a group.The NEGATIVE is that the tickets will be filled in order based on the lowest ranking person in your group, in regard to that point priority thing that each season ticket holder has.

IE, if you have season tickets and your priority number is 1000, and your friends priority number is 15,000, then your tickets will be filled at a time wayyyyyy down the list, not early as you would get if you ordered tickets alone.

I think they go from small numbers to large, but you get the picture.
