Absolutely nothing about that chart makes any sense.

My account shows 2500 (rounded) out of 40,641. I assume that’s all Foundation members.

Simple math shows that’s around 6%. So WTF is up with those numbers on the chart?

This is what I’m wondering. I’m like 2187 so wouldn’t I be in the top 10% using conventional North American math?

OK...after looking at the chart on a computer instead of my phone, it makes sense.  Carry on...

Ok, I went back and looked at my points. It makes sense now because I’m stupid.

Just found out that face value for the Houston nosebleed seats is $450.  Don't know what the others levels are...

Also found out that Sugar Bowl cheap seats are $200 face.  My buddy upgraded us to $315 face, but I have no idea where they are.

Geez, haven't bought tickets on the usual suspects in a while and didn't realize how much their fees are:

YOUR ORDER SUMMARY
Ticket Price
2 × US$ 1,958
Fulfillment and Service Fee
2 × US$ 786
Tax
2 × US$ 226
Total Price
US$ 5,941

I'm looking at a 10 day trip to Italy next year for about $8,500. If the Horns make the championship game I'm going to try and sell my wife on saving $2500 and go to the game instead.

It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Besides, there are plenty of other wives out there. And Italy ain’t going anywhere.

You realize that if we make it to tickets will not be the same price as they are now, right?

Just got this:

 

Thank you for your loyalty and support of Texas Athletics. Your passion is unmatched and has directly helped elevate our football program to its first College Football Playoff Semifinal appearance. The future has never looked brighter for our Longhorns, and you have been with us along the way all season long.  
 
We received your request for tickets to the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl on January 1, in New Orleans. The demand for tickets from our donors and season ticket holders was the most in Longhorn Foundation history, and that doesn’t even include the demand from our nearly 20,000 UT students with the Big Ticket.
 
Congratulations!!! We are excited to inform you that we will be able to fulfill your request based on your ticket request and priority limits. We will notify you of your seat location and price by December 15 when we charge your card on file.
 
You will receive your mobile tickets to the Allstate Sugar Bowl via e-mail the week of December 18.
 
If we are fortunate enough to advance to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, we are excited that we will be able to fulfill even more Longhorn Foundation members’ requests as we would receive approximately 20,000 tickets for that game, compared to only 13,000 for this CFP Semifinal game. If you requested tickets through Texas Athletics, we still have it on file and will notify you by December 22 whether we are able to fulfill your request should the Longhorns advance to that game.

Where's @EddieMoney been? Didn't he start-up a ticket brokerage or something?

I haven't talked to him in a few years, but I'm pretty sure he's out of that game and moved onto other bigger, better ventures.  Though I'd bet my first born he'll be there January 8 if the Horns make it.

Rejected at 2500 rank

13,000 tickets to UT for the Sugar Bowl.

When did they move it to Cougar High Stadium?

2500???  Wow, I wasn't even close.  For the  2006 NC game I missed the cutoff by $2, although I did end up getting tickets at a decent price from a person that had to cancel last minute.

So Dec 18 before any unused hit the market. Anybody know when Washington gets theirs?

That is crazy. I guess it is a good time to know the right people - doesn’t sound like much was allocated for LHF.

I got em. I like how the manage to tell us we got tickets but the location is a mystery for another week. 

Annoying that the price is a mystery too. For the Big 12 they never sent any confirmation or receipt which listed the price. Was just a guess until it showed up on my credit card.

We got our six for Sugar Bowl.

I finally read to the end of the email…

Expecting around 20,000 ticket allocation for the Championship Game. That’s a huge difference over 13,000. What’s up with that?

Wasn’t there similar shit around the 2005 Rose Bowl because since Pasadena residents get allotted some number of seats; it didn’t happen in 2009 because that wasn’t the actual Rose Bowl, it was played a week later. Maybe there’s the same bullshit because it’s still technically the Sugar Bowl game. Stripping that shit away should be a condition of being in the CPF rotation…

So the cutoff was somewhere between 1713 ~ 2500 

Demand for a game in Houston will be even higher so ~1k

I’m just over 2100. Fucking bullshit. Got my decline email.

Only 13k tickets. School gives some to students, some to the band, some to employees of the university, football probably keeps some for parents/recruits = not much left for LHF

Gotta keep those corporate sponsorship shills happy.

Man this is going to get pricey when playoffs go to 12 teams and you potentially are shelling out for 4 "away" games 

That’s why the first round MUST be at host school stadiums.

3600 and was obviously rejected.  Going to be hard to break into the top. I’m guessing each of those who got tickets are getting 10-12 each?

IIRC, players/coaches get 4 or 6 each. At least they did for the 2004/2005 Rose Bowls. That alone is a lot of tickets.
