Any news on Team Hotel yet? I booked the Westin and Sheraton as one of them will be the correct one. I will cancel whichever is no longer needed.

Get ready for ridiculous ticketmaster fees. A $75 ticket quickly turned into 95 Hate to be a Dukey Downer here but Old Boys like cornhole get severe crick in his neck sitting @ 5 yard line! Just too old for "binocular" seating. Time's running out. I'll spot Troy Athletics the margin on a couple seats and sit in an ocean of Blue (I doubt they get treated any better tho')!! Likely be sitting amongst a bunch of UAB Drs. and Bluebloods. My experience with ticket resale sites is minimal but things start shaking loose game week if you can stand the excitement of waiting.

Looking at tickets…We only have three sections for Troy section? Club level is available as well. I just got off the phone with the ticket office and the club seats are not available for Troy to get the money from them so if you want to support Troy, you got to get those three sections that are on the Ticketmaster link that could change but as it currently stands, those are the only tickets that are allotted for Troy

Why would Troy Athletics bother selling anything for no $$ cut? Just doesn't pass my smell test.

I'm still waiting on one out of town sister to provide details on their Christmas plans. If they come to town early in the week when my other sister plans to be here, alls good. If they are here for the weekend only, then Saturday will be the only time we can all gather as a family. If things work out so that I'm able to make the game, I'll buy my tickets, good or bad, from TROY. I will make it a day trip and forgo the overnight stay. I can leave home by 5:00, be at the stadium by 9:00 and home by 7:30. Birmingham is an ideal location for a bowl that occurs on a Saturday 2 days before Christmas. Give me a midweek bowl the week before or after Christmas and I'll enjoy the Bowl experience.

All the tickets Troy has to sell are the 3 sections for $75. Someone had bad information.

Only the 3 sections in the link and possibly adding some endzone seats. If you have other information please share it.

I have cancelled TWO hotels in Tampa, but still have TWO reservations in Birmingham! That 29 mile trip from home to the hotel & bowl game is going to be rough, but we are always willing to sacrifice for Troy Athletics Birmingham Bowl in response to my question regarding "Team Hotels" OR "Team Headquarters" ... "We are still working on that."

If club seats become available at a later time, then I’m not buying the seats that are available now. I will wait. How long my Trojan Warrior status guarantees me tickets is the question.

Oh yeah, and if I already bought those shitty seats and Troy comes out with better later, I would be pissed off.

I can’t find the info now, but I read info from the ticket office a bit ago that stated they were in conversations with the bowl to add additional sections in the end zone to TROY’s allotment. At this time, there is no indication that more favorable seats will be added.

Idk who dropped the ball on that one but good grief I think the bowl is anticipating a lot of locals to come to the game so they can sell the “premium seats”? Not sure but I’m sure dukes tickets are about the same.

I emailed Chris. I will go with what he says. If he says nothing, then I’ll spend the money on throwing a watch party.

Yessir, Gary @ Troy Development contacted me this am with a handfull of Club Seats to offer. If HE'S on it, there must be a buck or two in it for the cause!

Not sure but I’m sure dukes tickets are about the same. Correct and correct. I checked Ticketmaster yesterday and there were just a few available between the 35's. When I checked back late yesterday nothing was available in my preferred section. . Somebody's anxious to see the game.

Marketing. The fans that are going buy the tickets from the teams' athletic departments (TROY and Duke) are a captive audience. They are going to buy those seats regardless of where the seats are located. If you or I were in charge of ticket sales, we would be wise to give a lower quality seat to the people who are going to buy regardless and keep the more desired seats for sale on the open market to those who might not be willing to buy a corner seat.When dealing with entertainment, it's much easier to sell a premium product to a person with a casual interest in a product than to sell lower quality. I don't like that practice, but I understand it.

I did not realize Gary handled tickets he’s in fundraising. He always tells me to contact the ticket office, so I guess I will reach out to Gary.

Duke is losing starters to the Portal, including the star QB. The HC left for A&M. Troy strolls to victory on this one against this depleted and leaderless Duke team.
