Has anyone gotten the TP e-mail yet?
- Thread starter BocaLance
- Start date
FYI,
Look out for correction emails from the ticket office. I think emails may have been sent to folks that should have received tickets stating they did not get their order filled.
Hopefully more on this board will receive good news tonight!

Official note I am like a few other my points total is 240, so I think I'm going to get them? anyone have a sweat towel?
Dear Crimson Tide Fan,
BCS Championship ticket requests exceeded the allotment the University of Alabama received, thus your request for BCS Championship tickets could not be filled based off Tide Totals priority points.
As stated on the 2009 Bowl Ticket/SEC Order form: "If orders received exceed the University allotment, refunds will be issued by priority points." After all BCS ticket requests were submitted, individual accounts were sorted by point total (highest to lowest). Requests by Tide Pride members were filled in point order until the allotment was exhausted. Individuals with 230 points or more received BCS Championship tickets. If you submitted a credit card with your request, your card has not been charged. If you submitted cash or check with your request, you will soon receive a refund from the Alabama Ticket Office.

If the cutoff was 230 I still dont qualify. They need to allow some of us low lifes access to tickets.
If you don't get an email correcting the mistake by tomorrow evening, call the Ticket Office immediately. According to the person I spoke with, there were a good many people in the same boat. The cutoff point remains the same 230 and above.
I'm right there with you. Been in TP since 1998 - a year after I graduated.
I just can't see a real benefit to ponying out $2K a year anymore when there is no hope for SEC or big-time bowl tix.
The thing that particularly sucks about Tide Totals is it takes into account the total amount of $$ you give the Athletic Department - including other sports like basketball, baseball, etc., which is totally unfair to those of us who can't throw ridiculous amounts to UA, or buy tickets for other events when we live out of state. It costs an arm and leg just to make it to Tuscaloosa for 6 or 7 football games each year.

They need to fix this. Its BS! TP since 2000, and I was able to get Sugar last year but not BCS this year. I'm also not eligible for SECCG. Something is wrong here. How about allowing 2-4 per donor. I saw where the highest level could get 8. Thats ridiculous. Allow more fans to go, not only the select few.
I agree on the second part. I live in Atlanta and I drive over for every home game. I spend my money on campus. I cant participate in every sport. And I cant donate hundreds of thousands just so I can goto the big bowls. I suffered through the Independence and Music City Bowls. Surely I thought I would be rewarded with a trip to Pasadena. NOPE!
But hey they will never change it. There is a waiting list of people to take our place. Oh well they get their money and we get left out. Thanks UA!

I remember back during the final year of the Mike DuBose debacle, I was actually able to move from the upper east deck down to the lower bowl on the 45 yard line (same level - Touchdown Club) because so many people were bailing out of Tide Pride. Went from nosebleeds to preeemo seats at no additional cost. Suddenly the waiting list is a mile long (and Tide Totals was created.)
Supply and demand, I guess.
But nobody can ever preach to me about selling excess tickets for a profit as if I am doing a disservice to the Bama "family."
There is still the possibility for Ticketmaster on the 15th if my fingers and computer can move quick enough. :frown:
Only if you sell to opposing fans. Then I have an issue with it. I hate when I goto Tuscaloosa for a big rivalry game and I know all the TP'ers around me. Then I get there and I see that ugly VOL orange sitting next to me.
I'll try ticketmaster, ebay, stubhub, and whatever to get tickets.
Just received my corrected email from the Ticket Office, so those of you in the same boat may want to start checking.
I know you have to reward the upper echelon, but it'd be nice if they did...say a 1% random allotment among the non-qualified...to let a few of us plebeians go
I guess this person got their email confirmation too! Always nice to see others making a profit while others wanting to go get left out for not having enought TT points!
Am I a little upset? Yes. But what can I do...

Delta has added another direct flight roundtrip from B'ham to LA since the first one sold out so quickly. I think it leaves on Jan. 6th and returns on Jan. 9th as the first one did.
Congrats to those of ya'll in the second group. I STILL don't qualify. (Didn't even get a letter this time!) Like some have said. It's hard to rack up points when you live out of state. Guess I'll be watching from the house! Thanks Tide Pride for giving bigger donors more tickets. This is the reason I'm still on the Upper East Side after the expansion. They offered ADDITIONAL tickets to Tide Pride members first. ie You could keep your tickets and buy up zone tickets and the waiting (and moving list) stood still. I'm all for capitalism, but come on.:mad2:
