Why did Vandy announced they sold out their allotment of 10k? While we were only given 3k and apparently sold 9k thru GTAA?

Seems like a difference in ticket allotments between GT and Vandy.

Where do you see a 10k number? Their tweet only said they sold their allotment. Probably just the 3,000.
 
Why are the allotments so low? This stadium is gonna end up looking so empty when it should easily be full. It's not a big building. Feel like we should at least bring 15-20k.
 
Does that mean that those 6000 orders are now on their own to get their tickets through the bowl?

GT is supposedly working with the bowl to get additonal tickets. With 47k stadium, I'd be shocked if they don't give GTAA the full allotment of 9-10k that they have sold.

Just wondering why there was such a massive difference in the initial bowl ticket allotment between the two schools

Because people in these bowl groups think we don’t care about our football team and don’t have fans all over the country.
 
I submitted my bowl ticket request form a couple weeks ago and was charged the $50 bucks. Was a little unclear when tickets would be allocated, I saw something about Monday 12/16. Has anyone received their tickets yet?

Disregard. I see on GT site that we're on the west side. Which is strange as I read on the bowl site that we're the visiting team and that the home team is on the club side.

Yeah, I have a big group going so we used the initial bowl site as guidance and bought tickets apparently in a Vandy section. Oh well - I have a feeling there will be plenty of GT people all over the stadium, and our group of 12 will be loud...

No, because they’re allocating the tickets on Monday 12/16.

Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt won’t be playing only for the rights to take home the Birmingham Bowl trophy, the two teams also will play for a prize cowbell, an award given to the winning team in the series between the two schools that first played in 1892 and last met in 2016 at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
The winning team in the series, since 1924, has held the rights to the silver cowbell, which will have the year of the game and final score engraved on it. Tech has held the trophy since a 38-7 victory in 2016, one of six consecutive wins since 1965. Vanderbilt has not beaten Tech since 1941, going 0-12-1 against the Yellow Jackets since.
According to an article on ramblinwreck.com, the trophy was the brainchild of Ed F. Cavaleri, an Augusta native described by the Atlanta Constitution as, “a faithful Georgia Tech supporter though he did not attend the Jacket institution. While on his way to the 1924 game, Cavaleri bought a cowbell at an Atlanta hardware store to use as a noisemaker. Vanderbilt won 3-0, but afterward, someone suggested that Cavaleri should award the bell to the winning team.”
Any time the two teams met between 1924 and 1967, Cavaleri gave the cowbell to the winning team. The schools were members of the SEC together for the 1933-63 seasons.
The trophy was located ahead of the 2016 game, the first time the two programs had met since 2009 and just the fourth time the two programs had met this century.
