section 13 row 8
I am in 15 as well. But any seat is better than no seat (at least I keep telling myself that...). The view from the TV will be much better, but oh well.
section 29, but i did get all four I requsested.
TMF really came through for me... Section 30 Row 58. Whoop.
Per Byrne's Wednesday Weekly:
quote:
The not so good side of the ticketing situation: seat location. I'd like to tell you otherwise, but you're likely to be disappointed in where our seats are. The SBC Cotton Bowl gives all of its best seats to the lead sponsor, to FOX TV, and to other sponsors and patrons such as the corporations and fans in the Metroplex that support the bowl year-round. This is not something unusual; all bowls do this to generate the guaranteed money required by the NCAA.
section 17 row 30
I should have bought tickets through the CB instead of TMF.
Most should remember that sugar bowl and alamo bowl were the same--expected the seats to be in the end zone. Bowl sponsers get the yard lines for the most part.
Just sad that we are on the end opposite the band and the students --would have much preferred to be on that end zone.

Not true. I asked for upper deck seats in 1999 when we played Penn State at the Alamo Bowl and got tickets on the 35 yard line through the TMF. However, anyone blaming the TMF for their bad seats is clueless. They have nothing to do with where the tickets are that they receive.
Section 13 Row 45
Section 15 row 30
We asked for lower deck seats--and were in the end zone at the sugar--and our entire endzone was Aggie.
We have people in our family with acrophobia--more than one in fact--so always ask for lower deck if there is an option.

Section 36 Row 59. Seats 1-21.

Section 123, Row 31. Read 'em and weep. (Actually, I ordered them off of Ebay.)

Section 101, row 1. On the UT side, but still pretty good.
It's not what you know, it's who you know.

I think I'm getting a heavy dose of Rocky Top!

Sec 8 Row 39, Spider I think there will be lots of maroon around.
A&M side, fifty yard line, row 5.
Section 14, Row 9
At least the endzone plays on that side will be nice. Bringing a radio is a good idea. I doubt binoculars will help much when they're on the other end.

Section 124, Row 2
Obviously not TMF tickets, but I'm excited just the same.

(SBC tickets ) hopefully lots of Ags since SBC is HQ'd in San Antonio...

SBC's CEO is a tech guy. Ironic that his company sponsors a bowl in which his alma mater will never play.

about 80,000 people got crappy seats.
Section 32, Row 23. I knew the seats wouldn't be good going through the TMF. It's always this way for bowl games. Maybe next time I'll order directly from the bowl.
I sat on the 40 in the Alamo Bowl and on the 45 at the Sugar Bowl.
Every bowl game that I've gotten tickets from the 12th Man Foundation have been very good seats.
The only exception to that was the Cotton Bowl. Every seat that I've been given from the 12th Man Foundation to the Cotton Bowl have been horrible.
While every sponser may take the best seats, the bowls do give out good seats. The only exception is the Cotton.
Reason 34,976 the Cotton Bowl flat sucks.

4 in Section 22 row 18 ! @35 yd line. I got my tix late last week but figured they were in the end zone so I did not open the envelope. I had a chance to check them out today and was pleasently surprised!
Anyone on the lower bowl, rows 10 down, it will be extremely hard to see anything. The field is not lowered nor are the stands raised at all and there will be a s--t load of people, bands, camera people, security, etc. walking around the sidelines behind the team the whole damn game. Good luck.
Try this one on for size: Section 34 row 64.
Not only am I in the Nosebleed... I am in the SEC corner of the endzone.
This should be interesting.

Section 21, but rows 8 and 9. I'll bring my stilts.
half of the seats are crappy because sponsors get the tickets at midfield. It is the way the bowl game works. Since the cotton does not have a full second deck like Alamo or other stadium we are stuck in the endzone.
