So what did tickets end up going for?

[Bulldog Bruce]

Looks like you could have gotten in for $5 by game time.

 

[was21]

and for free by halftime

 

[Mayor of Little London]

Not worth it

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Not worth it

yea, definitely not worth it to see us win a bowl game on a blocked FG for 5$ at the beach in Florida.

Sounds aweful***

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Announced attendance for the game was 15,717. I don't see how anybody involved with this bowl could have made any money except maybe McDonalds or some local hotels. In its short history this bowl has been dropped by 3 different sponsors and with this kind of attendance it will probably be gone in a few years.

 

[was21]

Maybe. But from our standpoint it's 7 bowls in a row. History will record it forever and a day..builds tradition...Go Dogs!

I was there and about to fly home bought 40 yard line tickets for $25.00 each 12 rows up on an iasle even. The bowl had more people than I thought it would have. Every one was supper nice but the Miami fans where not so nice when it was over good place for northern teams to get out of the cold. Great trip for me Starkville in 2:30 min.

That seems kind of low, but there were a ton of hanger-ons that I bet just walked in. Also, no programs: one staffer told me they never arrived from the printers. The facility is decent, as were the concessions, but other than nice staff, the bowl doesn't have anything going for it.

 

[Maroonbulldog]

We were there. 15k seems awful generous. Closer to 8k imo but I'm probably wrong.

Pregame had Rangers rappel from the top ( 1 got stuck coming down but slowly got down).

Concessions were awesome.

Staff was very friendly.

Souvenirs were lacking. ( a generic mug, football, and lanyard were only on clothing items there).

We had a good time- but they did not pay attention to details at all! Lol

From the crowd noise, Miami seemed to have a pretty good crowd there, maybe half the total attendees?

 

[HomeBoyDawg]

Game day/time wasn't an issue for Ohio fans--don't think they celebrate Christmas.***

 

[Salty Sands Dawg]

Maybe true and after being there it wouldn't surprise me but it still counts on our bowl list just like the 81' Hall of Fame Bowl in BHM.

 

[Salty Sands Dawg]

The game souvenir footballs were all deflated, the purchaser has to air it up!!! I've never seen that one before.

 

[RocketDawg]

Possibly that way on purpose so you wouldn't throw them on the field.

 

[Salty Sands Dawg]

No, the staff acknowledged, they didn't have time to get the merchandise ready, including preparing the souvenir balls (with ****** printing). They didn't publish a game program (never seen that before at any game) and didn't have anything but a t-shirt and cheap looking cap to offer. They claim they ordered lapel pins but they didn't arrive for game time.
While beggars can't be choosers, the merchandise aspect was half assed at best and by far the worst bowl game I've ever attended and I've been to everyone of them since the 80' Sun Bowl.

[paindonthurt_]

I paid $65 for my ticket.
I sat on the 45.5 yard line.
We looked like *** but we won.
I enjoyed myself.

 

[paindonthurt_]

I also bought them through the university.
