No Groupon?

[wizade]

I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been a groupon deal set up for end zone tickets last minute - maybe it's still coming. I think they have done one in previous years for the HOD bowl. Looks like a previous groupon deal on HOD tickets at $38 each sold > 1000.

Indeed.

[JRock]

Or Living Social.

[wizade]

Maybe they will release something today or tomorrow.

[Green Mean]

I would have thought they would have done this a long time ago. They have an opportunity to sell as much of the 92K capacity as they can.

[redallover]

Forces more people to buy through the ticket office but also loses out on some folks too.

I believe that the bowl website had a 4 for $99 special for the UH vs. Penn State game.

[Eastwood Eagle]

Yeah I have been holding out for groupon/livingsocial/stubhub. As far as stubhub there are not any good deals yet.

[wizade]

I suspect there are quite a few holdouts.

[redallover]

I don't think the Texas Bowl ever went the Groupon/Living Social route but stubhub tickets were apparently pretty cheap before the huge FedEx charges. I'd imagine the TX Bowl and HOD would have similar turnouts. They had fliers for free tickets at the last Texans game.

A gamble.... I would have thought that they would like to promote this deal throughout the weekend and into Monday or even Tuesday. They are making a tough call by launching later than today due to the risk of alienating those who are, as we speak, making plans to go do something on NYE or NYD.

The problem I see arising is that if they do launch one and we sell a couple of thousand easy.......they will get in through the will-call gate and if shi* hits the fan with our own tickets not arriving then you will see one VERY busy Will Call booth.

They have run on Groupon and Living Social already....

Any proof of that?

Last year's Groupon apparently came out on December 21.

It ran through Thursday, December 27 for the New Year's Day bowl.

Therefore, I would put the odds at nearly zero that a Groupon will come out this year.

Got the Groupon a couple of days ago. Living Social was first....

Do you have a link to either of those so that we can send them on to others if they are still running?

What section were the seats in ?

[Ben Gooding]

"Groupons" has to be pushed. There is no reason why the Cotton Bowl or UNT can't come up with something offering endzone seats or at least nose bleeds for 50-75% off. It's a way to bring in more money and more fans of football. It need to happen.

[All About UNT]

The only thing I see online is The "Cotton Bowl" promo that comes with a lower level ticket and a $25 food voucher for $250.00

Guys, I should have posted it. I have been scanning both Groupon and Living Social because we have Prairie Lights specials. It could have been Fort Worth Groupon, I'm not sure. But Living Social was a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry, I don't remember any more details.

I'm surprised no one else caught it - too bad, would have loved to have caught some for the in-laws.

If you select tickets in section 18 and use promo code HODSCOUTS you can pick those up for $25 apiece with no fees

Is this if you're buying them online at the HOD website??
