NonUSF Bowl Ticket Sales Update

[Joe]

Champs Sports:

Clemson 10,000

Colorado 500 (yes 500)

Insight:

Arizona St 14,000 (asked for more, they were granted 2000 earlier)

Rutgers: no offical from school, being reported as 5000 -7000, but this could be off base.

Cotton Bowl:

Texas Tech: 12,000

Alabama: 10,000

Holiday Bowl:

Oregon: 15,000

Oklahoma: 11,000

(both schools asked for increase in tickets, Oregon received 4,000 extra Oklahoma's allotment was not

increased because the game sold out)

Alamo Bowl:

Nebraska: 11,000

Michigan: Unconfirmed 8,000

Every BCS Bowl has sold their 15,000 alottments

Well, I just did a very quick search on google for bowl team ticket sales and a few articles came up.

South Carolina is trying to have Spurrier market the tickets so they can sell their 12,000 allotment for the Independence Bowl.  So far about 6,000 sold.  Missouri has sold about 1,200 of their allotment.

Nevada, in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl, has sold about 75 tickets. Yes, less than 100.

Southern Miss, in the New Orleans Bowl, has sold about 2,500 out of the 8,500 allotment.

Miami is using a clever marketing tactic.  For each bowl ticket purchased through the school, you can buy a ticket to the FSU game at Miami next year.  That was an excellent idea, whoever came up with it, but it will only work every other year.

Haha I didn't know that's how Miami did it! Pretty smart. Thanks for the updates.

I am looking for updates on a few other teams:

Arkansas State - 1st bowl game wanted to see how they were selling.

A definite number from Rutgers.

The whole Gator Bowl
