Finally got into Tide Pride.

So my number finally came up to get into Tide Pride. I must have put my name on the wait list in 2007 (I can't remember now to be quite honest, but I'm pretty sure it was in my last semester of Grad School, right after Coach Saban was hired). I got a call from the ticket office yesterday that they had some packages left for this year (minus the ArkST game of course) if I was interested. Of course I was and went ahead and bought a pair of tickets for this year's remaining games.

One caveat, because I'm so low on the Tide Pride priority list, I'm not guaranteed the tickets during the 2020 renovation of BDS and technically will be put back on the waitlist, but will likely be back with tickets in 2021.

I felt like I won the lottery yesterday. It's been a long wait, but I know the reason it's been so long is because of the current state of the program, so I'm cool with the wait.

What happens after the renovation is my fear too. I got in with 3 seats this year in U4 EE. Of course the Aggie wife might not be upset if I lose them...😂

Congrats...

Same here... we signed up sometime in 2008 and got the call this June saying we had been selected... Needless to say, we were excited.

Already have my hotel booked for the AU game... Can't WAIT...

Thanks! Unfortunately my fall Saturdays was already planned out so I probably won't make more than one game this year. (It's a bit of a haul to make it there with two young kids now).

I'm in U4 MM somewhere. Tickets should arrive first part of next week. Just called to verify.

My parents live in Tuscaloosa...translation, free lodging, a hot meal, and good company at the game (my dad would go with me).
