They said it was a sellout yesterday, so I assume that UF sold all the tix, even though it was obvious that not everyone who purchased a ticket showed up. I don't know if season tickets sold out. We've gotten multiple emails in the last few months offering opportunities to buy additional single game tickets. At one point, only Miami, Kentucky and Appalachian State remained available. But just last week it was announced that tickets were available to all home games except USF. I interpret that as meaning the schools other than USF all returned some of their tickets. Interestingly enough, the USF game could be the hottest home ticket of the year. In addition, single game tickets were still available last week for Tennessee and Vanderbilt games. I think it is likely that the economy is having an impact, both in reducing orders for season tickets and reducing interest by opposing teams' fans in traveling to away games. Plus you have the fact that this is the first year post-Tebow and some people no doubt bought tix just to see him. Plus even-numbered years have a less attractive schedule (in odd-numbered years we get FSU and Tennessee at home).
