Y'all slippin'! It's clearly creative accounting and an inside joke referencing the import tarrif on an ounce of gold.

That's more than $1000 per person for the flight. But what else can you do? Commercial flights would be cheaper, but a logistical nightmare to coordinate travel for 200...

This is common for the ACC, BIG, etc but in the past the MAC schools had to pick up the tab. I spoke to some folks that made the trip and they said it was a blast.

There is a ceiling to how far we can go unless there is a significant upswell in fan support. The thing is, people that went to the bowl reported far more than 1000 Ohio fans there. So, the question that follows is, how does Ohio get Ohio fans to buy the tickets from Ohio instead of online, or whatever? Ohio made $362 as it is, but if there were 4,000 Ohio fans at the game, and half had bought the tickets from Ohio directly, Ohio would have made $20,000. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top BillyTheCat General User Member Since: 10/6/2012 Post Count: 10,068 Status: Offline     RE: Bowl Profit$    Posted: 4/6/2016 10:35:23 AM  L.C. wrote: Deciduous Forest Cat wrote: Monroe Slavin wrote: $18,645 in ticket revenue for last year's bowl?

There were more than 1,000. I have no skill for estimating crowd size, but am absolutely confident there were well more than 1,000.

I don't recall the exact reason, but our party was among them. We bought our six tickets directly from the bowl itself, on line, and then picked them up at Will Call several hours before the game. There was quite a line when we picked up our tickets. The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

I believe I was guessing between 2500-3000. Of course, that's a better number, but not one that's going to make bowl committees need to change their underwear either.

Wasn't that reported at 10k in a previous Post article? I've seen crazier things happen.

Wonder if the ticket profit is established after that accounting process....though the report does not give indication.

Not sure where Ohio applies that credit from accounting standpoint, but it is definitely another positive of the bowl trip. I've seen crazier things happen.

I bought tickets through the OU ticket office when we played Central for the MAC championship and even the Central shuttle honored my ticket for a free ride to the stadium.
