CFP Game: #9 Tennessee at #8 tOSU, Sat 12/21 8 ET on ABC/ESPN

What percentage of tickets went on resale?
Why do we blame our President and AD for resale tickets?
For the first question, check this out:

Seems like a major lack of experience, versus how CBJ ticket holders get unique codes so this kind of thing doesn't happen. Maybe blaming Carter and Bjork is misplaced, but after listing to Bjork with The podcast guys I lost a lot of faith. I hold ORD opinion in high regard and he's been eroding away my confidence and I have snapped. :lol:

Serenity now. I want to be talked in off the ledge. I want to trust the coaches. I want to fucking win.

Who benefits most from the leak and lack of a unique code system? Well, the professional resellers are certainly on that list and they have a long history of paying for getting access to tickets. But my bet would be on the folks who created, maintain and operate the paperless ticket system, Ticketmaster. They make fees from both buyer and seller for every ticket sold and resold.

Holy. Shit. I was trying to plug my ears and make loud noises, wanting to give Carter and Bjork a pass, this is fucking insane. I'm just a fat fuck on my couch but Bros, it feels like the end of an era in a way. Hopefully I'm over dramatic but we are about to run out looking like Utah in all red, running big 12 schemes, after waiting YEARS to have the SEC come up north and "prove it" in December to potentially 40% Tennessee fans? What in the fuck is happening.



I have a hard time believing 30% orange in the shoe. Even 15% would be more than anything I can ever remember, not even Texas in `05.

This is fucking dumb.
If this happens we officially have terrible fans lol… in our stadium and we can’t get excited for the first ever home playoff game?

I know we screwed up letting that code get out but come on

I just went on ticketmaster, there are still a ton of unsold tickets on the resale market for under 200. Considering the lowest face value ticket is 100, tickets are just not moving that fast.
I think weather isn't helping; if you're a local and want to go keep watching these prices - I don't know if any UT fans would risk it waiting there should be a lot available.

It just kind of struck me that this is the first bad weather big time CFB game I can ever think of.

One of the by products of the old Bowl system I guess. We're not used to ever seeing a Bowl-like game played in sub zero weather with wind (or whatever the forecast is now).

That said, looking at it like an NFL playoff game, you can go to hell if you think I'm paying a premium to go fight frost bite (regardless of where I fall on the optimism/pessimism scale)

Me too. Simply cannot believe that a) tOSU allocated 30,000 tickets to Tennessee; b) that tOSU faithful would not subscribe to 100% of tickets available. Something rotten in Denmark, here, methinks. They better darn well NOT out cheer the Buckeye fanatics. Regardless, the Shoe will be rocking. Go Bucks!
