Heads up - those seeking MSU @ Southern Mississippi tickets listen up

[BulldogBear]

So you may remember that I bought USM season tickets. Went in with a eagle friend as I'm planning to see North Texas and Old Dominion to scratch off my list. He's gonna use the seats for UTEP and UTSA.

A few days ago I got an email (which I failed to read till this weekend) saying that as I was a season ticket holder I'd be able to purchase a certain number of individual tickets for the MSU game according to my level of Eagle Club Contributions. Happens to be $0 (Ha!) but still I was entitled to buy two more so I did.

Here's the deal. The deadline was today. $60 each. So, individual MSU game tickets may be about to go on sale to general public this week. I got to select my seats so I saw the chart this afternoon. Looks to be several thousand left, plenty in both upper decks including a respectable amount still between the 30 yard lines. There are several hundred lower grandstand seats on the West side along both goal lines.

So, get ready and let's turn the Pebble maroon!!!

Well, guess what? Got an email this morning at 10:03 AM. Here's the text (the misspelling of additional is real!) with stuff I obviously would delete before posting here in Xs:

---(Back to BB) And that's it. No deadline this time. So, instead of opening up to the public it looks like they are going to hold out to the last moment. I'm of two minds about this. I had no real problem with them holding out a while to see how many season tickets they could sell. That's they're business and I don't begrudge them trying to maximize revenue. I'm a little surprised they're still holding out at this point after the round of offering individual seats to season ticket holders. I kind of feel like they'd be gone if they'd just go ahead and open to the public already. Whatever. I just want to flood their stadium with maroon and make it a neutral site at worst and Scott Field-South at best. I don't really need any more tickets. If anybody wants me to get some for them, PM me and we'll figure out some way to get $$$ to me. I pay for them with paypal. I'm fixing to go use my link and pull up the chart and see if available seats are still comparable to what I posted in the OP.

They are doing it that way to keep as many MSU fans out as possible. They know what will happen if they open it up. We should never play them again in any sport because of how they are handling it.

How pathetic they have to beg their fans to support their program. This is the biggest game in decades and they can't fill their stadium. Anywhere, anytime and some more meaningless crap they have spewed for decades. What a joke!

I don't have mine, but mydogtag account tells me where in the stadium they are.

Thanks for the tip.

I can't login to my dog tag right now. It appears their website must be swamped with students ordering football season tickets. I think today was the first day for that.

My situation as well. I've seen my seat assignment but I have no tickets in hand.

[Bigedawg]

I've seen mine but no tickets in hand. Section NN. Upper deck home side. Guess they are spreading us out as much as possible. My first and only trip to the rock, hopefully..

I wonder if a third party is handling the mailing?

Today is the first day for students in the student version of the BDC- hailstate rewards or something like that. Opens up for all of them on the 19th.

They're in the enviable position of having to choose between MSU fans showing up or their biggest game of the century being half full.

Thanks for hooking me up, Bulldogbear! We got lower level end zone seats on the home side...I'm sure it's a maroon friendly section.

I think there will be few sections that won't be! Happy to help!

[sayit]

Actually should have said goal line seats...they are on the side in section B. Then there's a gap in the corner that isn't shown on the seat maps very well before the end zone addition starts.
