Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 4478226, member: 3850"] Some may not know that some bowls have changed ticket allocation methodology... [URL='https://floridastate.rivals.com/news/why-demand-has-far-exceeded-supply-for-fsu-s-bowl-tickets/printable']Pretty decent explanation:[/URL] [I]There was a day when Florida State and Oklahoma would have each been allocated and required to sell 15,000 or more seats to the Cheez-It Bowl. If you are a Florida State fan who didn’t get the number of tickets you requested, you are asking yourself why did the Cheez-It Bowl allocate only 4,800 tickets to Florida State and to Oklahoma? “The landscape began to change six or eight years ago,” Florida Citrus Sports (FCS) CEO Steve Hogan said. “The allocation used to be 12,500 to 15,000 tickets.” Instead of looking to the schools to sell large block of seats, the bowls are now taking responsibility for selling more on their own with year-round sales teams and in the secondary markets. The new system, where schools get fewer tickets, generates more ticket revenue for the bowls, which means more money for the conferences and thus their schools. So what happened? All too often schools were unable to sell the seats they were required to sell to their fans, which cost the schools, conferences and bowls tens of millions of dollars in ticket revenue, not to mention stadiums with seas of empty bowl seats. “The bowls were willing partners,” a bowl rep said. “The bowls wanted to build out their local sales staffs so they could sell into their local market throughout the year. And the bowls knew the power of the secondary market.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
