Title: rose bowl tickets on sale Tuesday 8 PST

the servers will be jammed on Tuesday at 8 AM PST, so it's a matter of luck if you're fast enough.  if they let you through, expect a high resale value around 1k each.

Such high hopes for the Hokies this year...

most of the auctions are for corner endzone seats.  i bet the good seats will sell for a few thousand.  every auction has over a thousand hits.

None of the good seats will ever hit the market.  They all go to private vendors directly and are then funneled to the wealthy for large sums.

It would have been close....

Tech would have had to have beaten Miami and FSU.

ah, what seats does ticketmaster sell?  the rose bowl holds like 100k...

are nfl playoff tickets popular?  it seems like they have a few seats.  do you think the colts afc championship game will be sold out because there are a few cheaper seats on ebay for like $200 each.

Tech would have had to have beaten Miami and FSU.  Woulda, coulda, shoulda--but an 11-0 VT out of the ACC would have made more than a good case for the Rose Bowl, considering Texas' schedule wasn't exactly difficult in the second half of the season...


yea, i'm not sure what the bcs formula is, but texas had that close game with OkSU that almost blew it for them.

Anyone have any luck?  I was on the phone and online for about an hour with nothing to show for it...

Actually, now that I think about it, don't tell me if you got tickets.  I don't wanna know.   ;)
