Get Pumped Up: The BCS National Championship with Alabama and LSU

January 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Tonight marks the final game of the 2011-12 college football season. After all the wins and losses, upsets and surprises, it all comes down to this one game. Tonight LSU and Alabama will face off in the New Orleans Superdome to find out who is number one, once and for all.

Alabama and LSU is a rematch of the defensive battle these two schools waged in the regular-season; a game the Tigers won 9-6 in overtime. The big questions are whether LSU can defeat Alabama twice in one season and whether either team will score a touchdown in the Championship Game. Crimson Tide Head Coach Nick Saban is playing for his 3rd championship ring, while Tigers head man, Les Miles, is trying to win his second ring with LSU.

As we speak, these two great fan bases are living it up in the Big Easy, knowing that tonight the champion will be decided steps from Bourbon Street in the New Orleans Superdome.

Below are some videos we’ve found on YouTube to get you pumped up for the game. Who do you think will emerge victorious?

Bowl Season Starts Off With A Bang At TicketCity!

December 7, 2010 By 2 Comments

It was an exciting weekend for us in the TicketCity offices as we watched the college football regular season end (save the Army-Navy game), and the bowl annoucements come in. Since Sunday night, our web site and phones have been blowing up with fans trying to snatch up seats to their favorite team’s bowl game! We thought it would be cool to let you guys know which tickets are flying out of our office. The number one game isn’t much of a surprise since we are the lead sponsor of the TicketCity Bowl, but we like that there are a nice mix of BCS and non-BCS games after that.

  • TicketCity Bowl – Texas Tech vs Northwestern
  • Cotton Bowl – Texas A&M vs LSU
  • Sugar Bowl – Arkansas vs Ohio State
  • BCS National Championship – Auburn vs Oregon
  • Music City Bowl – North Carolina vs Tennessee
  • Capital One Bowl – Alabama vs Michigan State
  • Alamo Bowl – Oklahoma State vs Arizona

For a look at the current average price for these, or any other bowl game tickets, we’ve got a list for that too!
