Thanks Aaron, but this would not work for us as we don't have dedicated staff to triage the tickets... Every net admin in network services has the ability to put tickets in specific queues based on the ticket itself.
Most tickets would be opened from them self and put in specific queues, but in some cases, second line will opened tickets via email as they wont have access to RT directly, only Net Admins will.

By default they are assigned to "nobody". So you can make a saved search on the homepage that views all Helpdesk tickets assigned to nobody. Your "Helpdesk Staff" (whomever you decide should triage tickets) can then go through, resolve any items that they can and set the appropriate queue and priority on the remaining items. Our queues are Helpdesk, Systems, Applications, and Projects. Set the appropriate watchers on each queue. If you don't have a dedicated Helpdesk or First Call person, then use your emergency on call rotation to determine who is responsible for triaging new tickets. I have attached a copy of the process that my team uses for Helpdesk, feel free to plagiarize it.

This get's put in the UnAssigned Queue. All admins should get an email saying there is an new ticket created in the UnAssigned queue. An admin will assign the ticket to a specific queue. The admin/s in charge of that specific queue, will get an email that he/they have a ticket to work on. Is this the right way to do this or is there a simpler way...? We have to segregate queues per sections, and we have about 6 sections, but I don't want 1 email per section...

As to setting up notifications, that's should be relatively easy. There are plenty of example in RT: Essentials.
