We've been on the waiting list since January 2007, and we haven't heard anything, either.  :(

Ive read somewhere that $25,000 is the magic number, Im fine with that.  I really just need to know how to go about doing this.  I have cancer again, and this is important to me.

Well NavyChief thanks for your Service first of all. If I have never told you before. I will as of right now start praying with you to be moved up and all things fall in perfect place by direction of Jesus Christ. No not despair my brother only God has the last say. I know my mother had cancer and it was put in remission 8 times by the Grace of God. RTR!

Hello Chief, first of all, I will be praying for you. You may want to call the TP office, and make sure you are on the list..sometimes things get lost..ask them what it will take to get moved up..and tell them how long you have been on the list, somone told me last year that there is a 15,000 list of people waiting on tickets, my nephew has been waiting for 2 yrs. I have had mine for 24 yrs...thank god ..I wish you the very best.

Thanks Reel, and others for their prayers.  I called them and they could not even tell me where I was on the list.  I have family members on staff...just dont want to get them involved.

I'm not sure how important it is for you to get your tickets through Tide Pride vs. just getting season tickets, but I know I see season ticket packages on stub hub every year, right after the Tide Pride folks get theirs.  These are Tide Pride tickets and they sell all of them together for the entire season, not just the individual games.  These are people who got their tickets through Tide Pride and either can't use them or need the money, but don't want to give up their spot so they can keep getting the tickets in the future.  If you are willing to pay 25K you can buy them off stub hub every year for years to come and not spend that much.

Just an idea.  Let us know how it turns out.

First of all I want to offer my thoughts and prayers for you as you are going through tough times with your health issues.

If I'm not mistaken there were some openings in the South Zone. If money is no problem for you, you might have a chance there. If there isn't anything available this year you might have a good chance at next year. Good luck to you!!

Yes, I buy tickets in the aftermarket, though not usually stubhub.  Often, they are faculty/staff tickets -- an employee of the University padding their income...

Most importantly my prayers are for you also navychief. The one who created us has the power the heal and make new. Put your faith in Him.


On to ticket: Luckily I joined before the rush (2002). Aftermarket tickets are a great way to go. One year we had to sell our season tickets because my wife and I lost our business and needed the money. We bought, and then sold our tickets so we wouldn’t lose them for the future. A lot of that happens every year so you can  buy season tickets that way.

One thing that I suggest is look at the medium high levels for tickets if you didn’t check all the levels when you signed up. The lower levels will have the longest wait line and the highest levels are usually old money and will never come available. The medium to medium high levels have the biggest turnover.
