"Praying I get a ticket?" What has Pollard said that would make you think you won't even get a ticket? It is all about "what seats," not if you will get tickets. If anyone was at risk of not getting tickets through the ISU Ticket Office, he would be saying something like, "You better get your order in now because we are running out of tickets." This isn't his first rodeo. Do you hear about anyone in Memphis ordering tickets through the ISU Ticket Office and not getting anything? There was plenty of complaining about seat location, but I don't remember anyone saying that they got shut out.

He has said get your order in, because they weren't sure how many more Alamo Bowl would allot to them.

Surely if we sell all the allotment, and more people have put in a request than they have, someone is going to go without.

Actually ISU has already sold out their allotment and Jamie said he was working with them to get more.

Yeah, I know. I took that as they already have more allocated by them past the 12,000 (which he does say).

The Alamo bowl will keep sending tix to ISU, they aren't going to sell all 65,000 tickets.

I'd guess attendance at 55k overall. I'd guess half ISU, maybe a quarter each WSU and randoms.

No knock on WSU, but it seems further afield for them, and they were generally disappointed how the season ended. And maybe they have a smaller fanbase, idk.

I was doing some looking around and I've come to the conclusion that I believe the band will be in section 125.

Going off purely of photos of past Alamo Bowls and the fact that on StubHub that section isn't available.

"Our allotment" is a negotiated minimum between the Alamo Bowl and Iowa State. I think our Ticket Office could provide tickets for 30,000 people before the Alamo Bowl would stop them!

Not sure if that's true, because a lot of the seats are accounted for on Ticketmaster/other 3rd party sellers. I'm sure it's a hefty amount they can get, though.

Where are you all getting actual tickets?

Turns out that paying your kids tuition doesn't make you "donor". I bought direct from Ticket master to ensure that I actually got a ticket. Didn't want to put my fate in the hands of someone else.

Jack Trice South, I like that. Has a nice ring to it. Got two tickets yesterday through StubHub. I'm driving down and will meet my son in San Antonio. He's flying in from San Diego on Southwest. Great times!
That’s awesome! I can’t wait to get down there. I’m young in the general sense of Iowa state football, but this is by far the biggest bowl we’ve been to and I’m disappointed my mom and dad couldn’t come to the game since we all work at the family business and someone had to be there to run it, but they sacrificed and stayed so I can go, and I’m glad you guys get to share the trip. It could be the most amazing trip I’ve ever been on, next to the Big 12 tournament in basketball

Yeah, I'm on the WSU side. 2 tickets in section 313 row 13 (45 yard line). Paid $200 total (including fees) on StubHub. I figure someone has to yell POWER during CYCLONE POWER cheer.
My family will be there too. Cheaper and way better seats to be had on the WSU side.

It is unlikely that the Washington State side will be full, so you could probably do some moving around and trading seats to "create" a Cyclone section. Or it may just happen naturally as some of the section on their side will have a large Cyclone presence.
