...including 1995, our record v. aggy is 12-5

thus, and therefore, abracadabra

Quoting one of their erstwhile quarterbacks: "nahbruhnahnah".

Its so fucking clear that aggy values this game more than we do. They are nothing without us. Even their ticket prices for this game say so. Next year, ticket prices will be half of what they are this year

Don't kid yourself.  If this game was in Austin this year the prices would be out of control as well.  It's the combo of rivalry renewal bump (it would be an expensive ticket if both teams were 7-4) combined with play in for the SEC championship game.  No doubt plenty of Texas fan demand keeping prices high.  Of course it will be cheaper next year because you don't have the 13 year gap novelty.

You are really committed to making everyone believe this is most biggestest importantest game ever. I commend your tenacity.

I follow ticket markets as somewhat of a hobby.  This has been consistently hot ticket since game was announced when people assumed it wouldn't be a meaningful game.  I actually think ticket prices would be higher if in Austin this year because a lot more hotel inventory.  Ticket prices were plenty high for UGA but I think probably depressed by 25% at least simply because there was hardly any hotel inventory (and hotel prices 200%+ of typical game weekend) with F1 in town. UGA would have traveled plenty more with a normal hotel situation. 

I wish the professional ticket broker that used to post here still posted as pretty sure he would verify.  I bet they loaded up with extra aggy season tix year to profit on this game.  I think get in would be over $300 even if nothing at all was on the line and both teams were average.  People underestimate novelty impact on ticket pricing and starting up game after 13 year drought was obviously going to increase demand.

aggy sold 56k season tix last year and this year

i would be curious to know how many didn't renew from last year

This is what we need to be telling them post game.

I'm betting there will be a meaningful drop off after this year as professionals tapped in to profit off the ND, LSU and Texas games.  3 games with guaranteed profit.

I still think prices take a meaningful dip over the course of the day tomorrow for anyone on the fence.  Hold firm - would be great to have a good TX crowd.

the SEC Network morning show dweebs sucking aggy cock. Do they realize the fans in stands do not actually play in the game? Ask ND
