Have any bowl games sold out this year?


Jan 3, 2014, 8:56 AM

I know the Sugar bowl wasn't a sell out and our game isn't going to be. I would assume the NC would be but has any bowl game this year sold out of tickets?

A bunch of the bowls will report sellouts

The CFA bowl was a sellout because they sold their tickets and the rest are the schools problems.

The only 1 I've seen even close to a complete sellout was the Rose.

Yeah I know most bowls say they sell out because 1/2 the tickets go to the schools but based on the attendance at the games I don't think I have seen a single sellout this season. Very sad for college football.

3 of the 4 NFL games this weekend aren't sellouts


Jan 3, 2014, 9:06 AM

and might be blacked out. Attendance issues aren't just a college thing.

Ticket prices and HDTV are hurting football.

I pretty much posted the same thing. I think this will eventually effect attendance for home games in the future as well. TV is becoming a big equalizer. So maybe I will think about that before I go and complain to the cable company about my rates being to high! :)

This is just not a problem for college football.

Yahoo was reporting that 3 NFL teams were still trying to sell tickets to there playoff games this week. Green Bay, Indy, and Cinc all had ticket that still needed to be sold.

I think it just goes to show that the payouts the bowls "tout" are not realistic. People do not want to pay $100~$200 a ticket on top of gas, hotel, tailgating, concession, and parking expenses.

The next problem is time. Bowl games that fall outside of New Years will be tough for most. I am lucky in that I get a paid week of vacation between Christmas and New Years on top of my vacation days. Most people only get Christmas and New Years and what vacation they have.

Given the cost of the trip and the time required to go, most people are just opting to stay home, grill some food and watch the game on TV. Its cheaper, more comfortable, and it does not require you to take vacation days. That said, its only a matter of time before they start making the events pay per view. Then again, I think it would still be more realistic to pay $50 for the game on TV versus paying $1000's on a trip.

So far, the Rose Bowl....


Jan 3, 2014, 9:12 AM

is the only bowl game I've seen that appeared to be even remotely close to a sell out.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
