[NU Sports] The tickets are in

[cherron604 at aol.com]

Got my NU officially-requested and approved Sun Bowl tickets.
 
Sec. 7, Row 50
 
In looking at the seating charts, these look like 30-yard line or so, on the West side (probably shaded by the press box as the sun goes down).
 
The Sun Bowl web site was selling 50-yard line seats for $55, 40-yard line for $45, so I guess 30-yard line was decent given that the ticket office was selling $37 seats.
 
Not sure how the rows lay out, but I prefer sitting higher (Box 230 at Dyche), so hopefully row 50 sets up well.
 
As Mike pointed out, when 30-yard line seats are the best the University can sell you, it is not surprising that fans look elsewhere to buy. 
 
Instead of lecturing the fans on the need to buy only from them (these guys enjoy lecturing more than Robert Eisner did), the high-priced marketing talent on Central Street should be MARKETING THE PRODUCT !  I still have yet to see RW on any of the local TV stations...maybe newspaper or radio ads would drum up some sales.
