ND/MBS Tickets

[yeti92]

Does anyone know what Notre Dame’s ticket allocation is for this game?

I did a deep dive into the inconsistencies for the designation of games at MBS as either Home, Away, or Neutral. There are several reasons it matters.

1. The GTAA may mischaracterize true neutral games as home games to pump up ticket sales. I don’t have a problem selling more tickets, but if they are deceitful about it, it’s unethical, if not illegal. Fan complaints about “Giving away home games” have some merit in these cases.
2. Designation as a neutral site game could induce more opposing fans to buy tickets, even if the seat allocations are unequal.
3. True neutral game status could explain some of the gripes about seating locations for STH’s.

To summarize what I found about this – it’s “consistently inconsistent” depending on the source of the information.

• GTAA refers to all games at MBS as Home games.
• MBS’ web site refers to all as Home games for GT.
• All games at MBS are considered Neutral site by ESPN.
• Sponsored season kickoff games appear to be true neutral games based on field markings and some opponent schedules pages, but not all. Louisville called it Neutral in 2023, but Clemson says it was an Away game in 2022. I don’t recall the ticket allocations for these.
• In the last mid-season game at MBS (2021 UNC), the field was clearly marked like a home game for us.
• For our upcoming game at MBS, Notre Dame lists it as a Neutral site game, but Seat Geek lists it as an Away game for Notre Dame.

In my opinion, true home games should treat STH’s better than is being reported. If it’s a true neutral game, let’s call it that.

Playing there was negotiated between MBS and GTAA, so those are the sources I would trust.

I called yesterday. They said parking codes for STHs will be sent later this week or next week.


They really are dropping the ball this year.

Reminder, there is no Home Depot Backyard parking this year. GT took it over for their "paid" tailgate.

If we are the home team why are my tickets on the ND side of the field? I am not a huge AT donor but have had ST in 111 for 10 years.

For UT I was in the stratosphere with GT side, sideline tickets. For the other years I have had corner seats in 104/103 (where 106/105 would be closer to my Grant Field seating) which have been on the GT side of the field.

This year the seats are in 122.

It is almost like they use a random number generator with the seat assignments.

My son plans to sell our friend's seats and move us to the VIP club section. He thinks he can do this at less than $150 per ticket. I am not much in favor of it but he thinks it is our best option and is setting my max cost at $150 and eating the rest if necessary.

The "VIP" club section at MBS was disappointing. You still get in beer & food lines unless you're in the real VIP Club sections. The cheapest ones I saw in the real club sections were $375.

Because they decided to do it differently this year and let a blind monkey choose your seats at MBS with no consideration to your seats at our actual home games or what’s happened in the past. In other words, we’re Georgia Tech and we did it to you again!!

Including our season ticket ptice for sec 106, our gross price for the seats are close to that price. His net price is minus the profits from buying and selling his friend's Falcons club seats at market price.
All I really know for sure is I will be paying a maximum of $150 for upgrading to sitting near the 50 yd line with free food and drinks, which will be a hell of a lot better than sitting on the 15 and paying MBS prices for food and drink, in my opinion.

Separate issue, same game: Anyone secured parking yet? Our game is not one of the listed events on the MBS website to buy parking for.

Just to follow up here, parking became available today. You need an access code provided by Tech.

All season ticket holders got the code and looks like parking access for everyone else starts next Monday.
