After also keeping my hopes low (and willing to be happy with the Navy game), my card got charged yesterday.

Ticketmaster now shows this for my account, so my hopes are now up:

Nothing happening here so I'm guessing I'm screwed. Twenty years of always buying my tix, life membership, and nothing. Meanwhile, some kids who graduated last year will get tickets. :pissed:

According to the alumni website the lottery is still in progress so you may not want to freak out just yet. Besides it won't be very tough to get tickets to Navy or New Mexico State anyway. Indiana and Purdue aren't very far away, two games which you can buy tickets right now through the alumni association.

Alumni site lists nothing for me.

I'm still optimistic, but won't hold my breath until I see this show on my alumni account.

Emailed ticket office to find when they will assign specific seats.

The lottery is officially over and results are now posted on the alumni website. The following was taken from the website about the results of this year's lottery.
The Alumni Association distributed 71,427 tickets in the lottery, roughly 10,000 more than initially projected. More than 35,700 memberships were successful in the lottery and roughly nine of 10 applicants received tickets to a game.

Ticket distribution per game is as follows:
  • Navy: 11,749
  • USC: 11,050
  • Minnesota: 3,038
  • Iowa: 2,942
  • Illinois: 2,621
  • New Mexico State: 2,193
  • Wisconsin: 2,121
To be eligible for the 2010 football ticket lottery you must be an active, dues-paying member as of March 1, 2010.

I got nothin. You wouldn't think it would be so hard to find 78,000 tickets (to cover the 39,000 applications they received this year).

Oh, well. It's not like I joined just to get football tickets. Oh wait, I did.

Sorry, I'm grouchy. On the up side, I don't have to spend $134. That'll buy plenty of brats/burgers/steaks for grilling at home Saturday mornings.

That works out to about 11% of the total tickets for the season. Not unreasonable, I think.

...I wonder if I can get tickets to the TOledo game...

I think that's part of the reason they switched to this new system last year because a lot of people's games in previous years were getting switched when they'd already made plans. In the old system it just went by the first letter of your last name as to which game you got. This meant that sometimes more people from a certain grouping were being awarded tickets than there was room for therefore they had to go back through and delegate who got to keep their tickets and who's they had to change. With the new system they can just award however many tickets have been alotted and stop at that number instead of having to give everybody with a last name that ends in certain letters to a game and then have to take them away if there happens to be too many tickets. It just makes a lot more sense and I'd have to imagine it's a lot less work for those involved trying to figure out who gets what game. I don't recall anybody saying their game got switched last year but I'll send an email to double check and make sure that what we have is final.

EDIT: I just went back and looked again at the page where it tells you what game you got and saw this at the bottom:
Note: Neither the Alumni Association nor the Athletics Ticket Office can switch your game, take your tickets back, or refund your money.

It looks to me like it's saying they can't change your game so if you have USC then that is final.
