I saw the same thing and assumed the game was in Fort Worth.

Well ... it is Thanksgiving Day and many fans probably have higher obligations than attending a horns game.

The Aggies don't seem to be having any trouble selling 100,000+ tickets for their Thanksgiving Day (evening) game versus LSU.

Wow!! What a magnificent achievement, legions of UT fans must surely be thinking! :-)

But Living Social customers are no doubt NOT impressed with the paltry 20% discounts being offerred. They're used to getting 50% or more off the list price.

Have no idea where they are getting their full value from. My tickets are $100/ticket face value for every game. And, I know of others whose tickets are as much as $125/ticket at face. I haven't heard of any tickets for less than $100 face value this season, but I may have missed some in the highest reach of the upper deck.

I can only guess that the $75 & $55 face are what UT originally offered the tickets at on LivingSocial.com and they are now discounted even further.

I don't believe any game this season has been sold out. I think there have been anywhere between 4K-10K seats available during the week before each game. That only counts the ones UT is selling directly.

Confimed that Tier 2 & 3 are top of the upper decks and end zones all the way around.
