Where would it be next year? You figure Dallas is out of the question since this is their year. 

Going off the last time the CFP rotation had the playoff games at the Rose & Sugar Bowl my guess would be the Fiesta Bowl.

How many did UConn bring to the Fiesta bowl or whichever one they lost all that money?  

We'd have about 250 more than that.

How many were at the Sun Bowl? That may give kind of an indication ...

We sold 3,400 and gave 1,000 away to students.

They sold 2,771 out of their 17,500 allotment. They lost $1.8 million.

So 3,000 it is.

Just curious how many tickets you think we would have sold if things had broke our way and we were in the Cotton Bowl? Over $100 a ticket gave value plus travel. Could we have hit 5,000? 7500? We all say we want great things but how many would have actually ponies up the $ to go to the game? Surely a possibility in the years to come. 

As much as I would like to be wrong I don't see us hitting 5000 at any bowl game (other than NC) where fans have to fly. If we were to get QF some real Heisman attention and he continues doing what he does maybe we could. We would need a significant increase in home game attendance before we will do really well at a travel game.

If we went to a NY6, I would buy 20 tickets and give however many I don't need to students (probably 12-14).

If we go undefeated and play in the Cotton, Peach, Orange, or Sugar Bowls, I think we'd bring at least as many as we brought to FSU the first time we played them. At least 5,000. Driving distance likely is the key limitation.

But how would you guarantee they show up?

Thanks, so roughly what we had in B'ham ...

3,000 does sound about right unless we're playing a UF, FSU or a really high profile national team...

That was in response to the OP

I think between 5,000 - 7,500 for any New Years 6 bowl that isn't in Arizona.  Miami is three hours, Atlanta is 7 or a quick/cheap flight (10 min drive for me), New Orleans is a party, and Dallas flights shouldn't be horrible.  Arizona would cost a bit to get to and would likely result in very few tix purchased.  If somehow it was the Rose Bowl, people would go regardless for experience, but that likely would never happen.  

Tix to cotton we going for under $30 dollars on secondary market.
