I looked today and they did start to fill in. I did move to better seats. I keep moving around. I have been section 20, 04 309,308, I am back in 04.
Season Football Ticket Sells.

I agree with this. It's next to impossible to secure a place to stay, and if you do, you have to purchase two nights at an inflated price. Unfortunately I don't think it's a fixable problem. These hotels are otherwise sitting empty and losing money most of the time.
You didn't mention if you were a season ticket holder in any other sport or not. If you want a chance to buy those tickets you will have to pony up and "pay your dues" and decreasing your Bulldog Club rank number.
Thats the bulldog club donation for the seat. All tickets are $420/each for the season.
None of it is designed for going to a game. It is all designed for TV programming. Overall they are happy that people want to come, but it is mostly an afterthought in the big picture. I think the schools individually try to give those people that come, the best experience they can and also try to maximize the income. Unfortunately there is very little room for growth in gameday attendance.
Wait, the Devil is married, she doesn't drink, and you have a spawn?
I know children are amused when it rains while the sun is shining, but you've really got to give you wife a break man.
Yes the Devil is married. She is not a drinker that is her choice not some mandate I put out. I am a very lucky Devil in that I have a beautiful and supportive wife.
The Marriott was/is sold out last night and tonight. And The hotels in Starkville are not as empty as you think during non-game weekends.
This is so true. There have always been some repeat champions. But it's been ridiculous for the past decade.
If you could go back in time to 2010 most football fans would think - if we can get the right coach and string together some good recruiting classes, we can play for the NC. There were a lot of different teams that shined through the 80s, 90s, and even early 2000s. Other than Miami, most would be up for 3-4 years and then fade away. But then you look over this last decade and it's dominated by teams who've all been there before.
Bet she hates it when it rains when the sun's out.
Ticket sales are up. Excitement level seems to be up. Sorry for raining on everyone’s bitching parade
There are occasionally events in town...graduations, seminars, conferences, travel ball tournaments, etc, that will lead to full hotels. But as a statement of fact, they are not full all year. It's a problem and it's why we don't have more of them.
Yup. You've got to have some serious jack to justify it. Season tickets and going to Starkville for 5 or 6 weekends would be more fun than doing watch parties with friends, but when you compare it to doing watch parties with friends and having another $6k-$7k to spend on vacations or whatever your next favorite thing would be, it's hard for season tickets to win out unless you've got so much money that you just don't have any other big wants.
