I would have put us and UNT over SMU and UTSA. I would also have put Houston and Tech over Texas.
Never cared for the black unis until now. Those are really nice...

A black out game in the coliseum would be a really cool idea. Give away black out t-shirts. That along with the purple and white stripe idea.
Oh. And getting most of our home games at or near capacity. That's another good idea.

A blackout or whiteout for the Bama game on national tv would be amazing.
So it looks like you can only by tickets for the Bama game by either getting season tickets or buying the mini plan. Just some back of the envelope math, but given that the mini plans are general admission only, that prices the Bama tickets at around 30 apiece.
Do we have that much demand to justify that price?

I've mentioned this before, but unless they are jacking up admission prices by more than 100%, then the mini plan makes 0 sense. I asked the college girl who called me on the phone trying to sell the plan why the price was so high, she said she didn't know but would find out and get back to me. The next day she called and asked, "did you decide to get the tickets?" I asked if she found out why they were so much, she said her supervisor didn't know.
Agreed Nacluth. I clicked through a few single ticket games and it looks like General Admission runs around 6-10 per game if you pre-buy.
It just doesn't make any sense. My Dad was looking at the price $51, and was like, oh that must be a plan for half the games (given that GA for all season is $100).

Big thing to note, the transfer ticket functionality is live.

The Bama game/GA ticket still doesn't make sense, I agree. At some point the Bama game will be available to purchase individually, I'm assuming they are waiting as long as possible to get Season/Mini plan ticket sales in. I also think it's fair to have the Bama game priced higher than the other games. The majority of the schools season tickets that I've seen (my parents season tickets at Texas for example) have a few games at one price, and then a premium price for the bigger games. So I think that should be taken into consideration here.
I again still think we should at least look into getting rid or minimizing the amount of GA tickets. Just make different tiers of reserved seating.

That's awesome!PurpleOut said:

I might get season tickets now, I didn't want to buy and then leave the games we can't make it to open.
How's the transfer work? Do I have to know who I want to transfer it to, or can I just add them to a list of unused tickets that people can claim?
I agree that it's definitely worth more, and maybe Ivey has some data that suggests they can still sell out at a higher ticket price. If that's the case, it's basically like free money.PurpleOut said:

I'm just concerned because to me, the most important thing for the Bama game is to have as full and raucous of a crowd as possible.
Can you tell if you can leave tickets at will call? Or can you explain more about it? Maybe a ticket thread?PurpleOut said:

You'll have to have an exact individual to transfer them to (name and email). It looks like they would be transferred via email. Doesn't show an option for will call. However I'm not sure what options recipient will have when they get the email.TallTexan said:That's awesome!PurpleOut said:

If anyone wants my tickets for SAGU next Thursday (the 8th), I can go ahead and see how it works and transfer them.
What? you're skipping the game against Screen Actors Guild U? They're a powerhouse!PurpleOut said:

As well, if anyone want's my tickets to the WBB games, I won't be making those games. Sorry ladies.
I'll happily help you out test out the transfer function.
So do ya'll think it's a bad idea to just get GA tickets for the games I can make since I don't live in Nac?

Depends on how many games you think you can make, as well as how much you want to spend. If it's not a lot then the Mini plan may be the best option. But again now with the transfer ticket option, you've got a chance to get rid of the unused ones (whether you want to charge someone for them that's up to you).
Also, any season ticket holder that's on Twitter, if you tag the @Lumberjackfans account that you have tickets you want to transfer, I will retweet it to help.

Is the transfer function on the SFA Athletics website? I don't see it there.
Never mind. I found it. Had to log into my SFA ticket account first.edstile said:

Yeah, this will be at your individual ticket account page (SFATickets.com).
Just transferred my two to nacluth for next Thursday. Took 20 seconds, very straight forward. Korbin said they will still be releasing some documentation so everyone understands the new system.
Ryan, let us know when you get the email and how it works on that end.

Pretty simple! Got the email. Clicked the link.
I did have to make an account on the ticket exchange, but that was no problem. It gave me the option to print the tickets or mobile delivery. I chose mobile and got an email with the tickets. They were added to my iPhone wallet. Pretty sweet. I guess I'll let someone scan my phone at the arena.
Thanks Matt!

Awesome, good to see how it works.
Guess it doesn't work if tickets were mailed to you?

This is just for electronic transfer, someone can still give/mail you physical tickets. Is that what you mean?
This is a very nice feature. We need to keep butts in the seats at every game.
"On campus visit day saw a 27% increase..." Not bad for a NCAA win.
Wish this could be shown to some of those knucklehead professors who encouraged their clueless students to vote down the athletic fee referendum.nacluth said:

SFA at #19 on College Insider MM Top 25 ranking. CI usually does a good job at ranking us unlike mid major madness

They do. It's because their selection committee is midmajor coaches not wannabe sportswriters and fanboys. Danny Kaspar, Jason Hooten, and Willis Wilson are all on the committee, so at least three voters know how good we are.
