Canary in the Sanford Stadium coal mine?

Georgia is offering a “4-Game Mini-Plan” for the 2019 regular season, including two SEC games.  I am presuming those are returned tickets from the visitors, but in any event that’s not a good sign for the it-just-means-more conference.  (Although I have to admit if I were a Mizzou fan watching a team on NCAA suspension, shelling out bucks for road trips this year wouldn’t exactly be my highest priority.)

    Section 102 for the non SEC games and 608 for the SEC game. Yes likely returned tickets.

        Same here but then again I have only been out of the 100 level for an Olympic Soccer game.

        I watched the Fail Mary Tennessee game a couple years ago up there with some Vol tickets a friend of mines parents couldn’t use. Put it this way, if there was a flyover before the game, I’m pretty sure we may have been able to look down on the planes.

        I’ve been up there once a long time ago and it’s as bad a seat as I’ve ever had at any football game. Visiting fans have wised up to the 600 level. Just no point in traveling so far to see a game only to sit in seats that make you feel entirely removed from the action and atmosphere.

    ADGM has a take: “We just want to offer some of our fans who aren’t big donors an opportunity to see some games in person.”

    Hmm… $1040 to see two cupcakes, an SEC bottom dweller, and UK team coming back down to earth, IF I go alone without my son or wife. $1040 can by a badass 4K tv nowadays…

    Usually, if you’re trying to seek to sell something where there’s less demand, you offer a discount or an add-on (think hotdogs and a Coke). The fact these tickets are being offered for face value is laughable. Anyone who pays face value for these games to sit in the Fech deck is a fool.

    The good thing about 600 is if those seats are never sold, nobody misses them anyway. B-M should now be to the point that any tickets sold in 600 is just gravy.

      For some games the 600 level serves its purpose … to give visiting fans seats in the stadium but not close enough to the playing field to make a difference. I remember the years of the west end zone as a virtual home field advantage for visiting fans.

    I sat up there – once. And it will be only once. Free tix my dad picked up for the Colorado game. Ralphie looked like an ant. They should have filled in the bridge end zone If they were going to increase stadium size.

    Get rid of 600 and make the stadium symmetrical again
