You Like Me, You Really Like Me

Well, at least you like UGA football.  Westerdawg used to (obsessively) post about Hartman Points, and for good reason: it matters.

This year is a banner year: 23,900 points was the base points for season tickets.  Man, those LSU tickets are going to be nuts, right?

Nothing like success.

National Championship Game Tix


These have to go down, right? Right?  Get in price is in the $2100 range. If you are interested in food/drink packages, Prime Sport has some packages that include food and 'premium beverages' in the lower bowl that include guaranteed seating in Molly B's, but still, this is a crazy ticket. Click the picture to see those seating packages.

StubHub also has plenty of tickets listed, but the prices are still astronomical. I was expecting a $1000+ get in price, and it still may get down that low, but I don't see it doing that before the weekend. It could stay up, too.

It'll be interesting to see if Alabama fans dump their tickets. This is their sixth appearance in this game in nine years, so could be. I'd be surprised, even at these prices, if many UGA fans sell.

Rose Bowl Tickets and Pricing

Now that UGA has released their tickets and the Rose Bowl has given scalpers/Ticketmaster another chance to power grab all the released and sold a few remaining tickets, the secondary market is your friend.  The get in price has remained pretty constant at about $250. On a ~$175 face value ticket, that isn't terrible. 

As you can see, Georgia will sit facing the press box, which is on the East side of the Rose Bowl. Bring your sunglasses as we'll have the sun in our face. 

Funny thing about the Rose Bowl, end zone seats are lettered backwards from K-A (K basically at field level), then from 1-77 going up. It appears the seat back sections on the side lines start at row 1-7 depending on the section. From everything I've heard, the better seats are above the lettered rows, and if you are behind the benches, up around row 25-45. The ring walkway around the stadium is around row 30. I've also heard the end zone lettered seats are great, at least while the teams are playing towards your end zone.

I still think there are going to be a lot of Dawg fans in Pasadena, but given the lower allotment to the schools (13K each), as well as the sales to the locals and scalpers Web 3.0 entrepreneurs, hold backs for corporate groups, and the pre-announcement sales, getting a ticket isn't a given unless you are willing to show up with cash and hope or go ahead and bite the bullet through aftermarket.

Georgia Projected Kickoff Times

Here is my best guess on game times and TV.

Times and networks in bold are confirmed.

  • CBS still has their doubleheader weekends. Those weekends are scheduled November 5th for the 3:30/8pm weekend and November 12th for the noon/3:30. 
  • That means you can write down Alabama at LSU on Nov 5th for 8pm in unicorn blood.
  • The closest thing I can have to a lock is the noon kickoff for Auburn. I could see us playing on ESPN at Noon, but that is a tough weekend unless both Georgia and Auburn are good enough to jump LSU vs. Arkansas for the CBS 3:30 game.
  • Kentucky could be anytime. I am honestly 50/50 it being the 4:30 SECN game.
  • So there are my predictions. Kickoff times during the season are announced 12 days ahead of time (usually Monday around noon Eastern), unless the TV partners go to a six day window, which they can do twice. The weekend of Oct 10th is likely to be at least one of those 6 day window weekends.

South Carolina and Alabama Tickets

One of the big questions around the tailgate this weekend were the prices of South Carolina and Alabama tickets.  As you'd imagine, South Carolina tickets have fallen. Bama tickets are holding steady.

At $95/ticket for a get in price, it feels like there are some Gamecock fans that aren't interested in making the trip now, but I guess that probably depends on their game this weekend against Kentucky. Still, $95, with lower level being in the $200 range, seems like a solid price. Maybe look for some of those lowers to fall another $30 or so, at most.

As for Alabama, I don't know what to tell you, other than be prepared to pay super premium prices unless something funky happens.

Students mad at the wrong guys

The Red and Black has the news that not all students that wanted season tickets will get all seven games. There will be a lottery for South Carolina and Alabama tickets.

I'd say the students are mad at the wrong people. Look out for the student tickets that'll be for sale, particularly for the Alabama game. As a student, that's who I'd be mad at.

As an alumni, I'm going to be mad at those students when I see hounds tooth in the student section.

Season Tickets available

Now that tickets have been mailed, the supply of season tickets have gone up. There are some as low as $800, with some decent lower level sets in the $1200 range. Considering the combined average for South Carolina and Alabama is near $1000, that isn't a stretch.

You can always see individual game inventory, as well as season ticket inventory in the first column to the right on GSB.

Season Tickets available

Our ticket vendor has a few season tickets available in the $900 to $1250 range. When you consider the contribution required per ticket, plus the cost of just getting an Alabama ticket (around $300), $1000 isn't unreasonable when you also get South Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky, and Georgia Southern tickets, too.

Basketball Enhancement Fund deadline is approaching

I'm trending positive....for now....on hoops. I think we have the opportunity to build on some of last year's successes.

Anyway, the deadline to make your BEF contribution is August 1st, if you are so inclined.

Georgia Bulldog projected 2015 kickoff times

The first three weeks of the schedule is set. Remember, CBS will no longer have the exclusive 3:30pm window for their SEC on CBS national game. That being said, the SEC on CBS will retain the first pick, working with the conference, for the 3:30 time slot.

The way it worked last year was the SEC Network had up to 3 game slots per Saturday, typically around the noon, 4pm, and 8pm hours. Usually, the SEC worked to only have one other game against the CBS game. Also, ESPN grabs games as they see fit, such as the South Carolina at Georgia game on September 19th.

As we saw last year, the biggest upside of the SEC Network is that the SECN has acquired the third tier rights for all football games. Any game not covered by either CBS or ESPN/SECN will likely be picked up by Fox Sports South (or their other regional sports networks).

Times and networks in bold are confirmed.

  • CBS still has their doubleheader weekends. Those weekends are scheduled November 7th for the 3:30/8pm weekend and November 14th for the noon/3:30. 
  • If the season goes how I think it will, we'll be playing the night game at Auburn. Oh. Joy. If the season doesn't go the way I think it will, then it could be at 3:30 on CBS, especial if the SEC West is on the line with Arkansas at LSU. Or LSU throws their sucker in the dirt about only having five night games this season.
  • I'm an idiot. I originally had the doubleheader weekends backwards and didn't back edit times. I don't see us getting a fourth CBS game unless both Georgia and Auburn are undeafeted. Or LSU throws their sucker in the dirt about only having five night home games. Then we'll be the 3:30 game on CBS. No chance we'll end up getting in and out of Auburn at 11am local, is there?
  • I am very uncertain on the Southern game's network, as the SECN did some co-broadcast last season. The conference has eight games in their inventory that weekend, with five conference games. UCF at South Carolina is the only 'big' non-conference game in the inventory, so I'd guess that is a late SECN game, unless ESPN picks it up. I am certain that Southern will kick off at noon.
  • It is possible the Tennessee game is at 3:30 on CBS, but Arkansas is at Alabama that same week. Look for this to be a 6 day window week, with Alabama at Georgia/Arkansas at Tennessee the week before.
  • November 21st, Cupcake Saturday, has nine games in the TV inventory. Fortunately, our game is against a Georgia Southern team that should be making late season noise in the Sun Belt, so I think we'll be pitted for a later afternoon game on the SECN. 
So there are my predictions. Kickoff times during the season are announced 12 days ahead of time (usually Monday around noon Eastern), unless the TV partners go to a six day window, which they can do twice. The weekend of Oct 10th is likely to be at least one of those 6 day window weekends.

Ticket Cutoffs

6701

That's the Hartman points it will take to get tickets this year. That is up from 1001 last year. Either fans are really betting on UGA this year or the new young alumni program is paying off.

We'll know about single game tickets, away game tickets, and Florida tickets after July 31st whenever we find out about them.

Blutarsky called the jump the 'Bama effect. If that is the case, I hope all you cats out there who put up big numbers to ensure you got Alabama tickets don't 1)Sell them to some bro wearing houndstooth, and 2)you come to some of those other games that we need fans at.

Belk Bowl Tickets

Tickets? We've got your tickets. Looks like there will be plenty of inventory. I'd expect prices to start falling around the 26th, after folks make up their mind about if they are going.

According to the Belk Bowl's official Twitter account, we'll have the South Side (h/t to Brandon Zimmerman for that).

Iron Bowl not on CBS

On the drive back from Kentucky, we had a spirited discussion about the number of times one SEC team could appear on the CBS first pick national broadcast. Berniedawg was right in saying the conference and network had a negotiated limit to the number of times a team can appear on CBS.

Unless something really crazy happens in the next two weeks, I'd think the Egg Bowl is your better pick either way, considering you will have the likely top team in the nation vs. their traditional rival and all that stuff. Still, it'll be the first time since Auburn rediscovered offense that the Iron Bowl won't be on CBS.

One other thing, we discussed how the Georgia Tech game would likely be a noon game on SECNetwork. When you look at the inventory of games the conference was going to broadcast, the conference really only has four games they control on that Saturday. With two match-ups between top ten teams, Georgia Tech-Georgia, and Tenn-Vandy, it isn't hard to see why we ended up with the sole noon conference game. For the record, I think Kentucky at Louisville will be a noon kickoff on ESPN2 or something like that through the ACCs package.

South Carolina ticket prices

South Carolina's win over East Carolina has our ticket prices headed back up. I would think they could fall some this week, but with a fairly high number of UGA fans headed over, I'm not sure their is much room to go down unless you are willing to play ticket roulette.

Right now, the get in on our ticket vendor is just under $100. The visitor's section at Williams-Brice is usually in the corner of the lower level (sec 15-18) and the top 15 or so rows of sections 501-509.

Clemson Tickets Available

This won't be the LSU game, but I wouldn't be shocked if the market is still tight until right before game time. Our ticket vendor has Clemson tickets getting down inside $130/ticket (as of right now).

That's down a good bit from last week. I've had a couple of folks offer me tickets in the $150-175/ticket range, so that isn't terrible.

Clemson Tickets still available

We're trying out a new ticket vendor, TiqIQ. Think of them as the Kayak of tickets. They aggregate across several selling platforms. What sold me is they allow you to set up price alerts. Plus, we get a few more pennies when you buy using our links.

Right now, they have Clemson tickets in the $160 range for singles and $175 range for a pair. As a comparison, the best price I had on my old ticket site was over $180 and that was a 600 level seat.

If you are in the market for season tickets, we still have some of those too (as well as parking passes if you scroll to the bottom of the list).
