This is how the MLB does a lot of their tickets now too. Like a previous poster said, screenshot for your fail safe.
Alamo tickets

We're just buying tickets off of Stub Hub, went to the last 2 bowl games in Memphis and family has been season ticket holders for 20+ and gold members but against Tulsa we were Corner of ISU endzone about 45 rows up and last year for 4 of us we were 2 rows from the top next to the press box. Almost could have reached the Fed Ex plane when it flew over. Had friends that decided late to go and bought tickets about 25 rows up on our side at the 30. May pay a little more but if were going to spend $2k plus for the trip might as well have good seats.
Yep super legit, never had an issue with any of their tickets.
I don't agree that they are the same price as Stubhub. I find them usually much cheaper on Vivid and SeatGeek in my experience. Fees are about the same though
Has anyone ever not gotten a ticket by going through the university before?
And if so, did you have a hard time finding tickets after finding that out. I put in for tickets through the university within an hour after finding out we were in the Alamo.
Have only had season football tickets for a few years, so not very high priority obviously.

Honestly, I'd just cancel those by Wednesday and go find on a 3rd party site.
I cancelled mine today and did it this way.
This whole ticket allotment model is a mess. Basically, the bowls use the allotment to dump thousands of lousy seats on the schools to sell, and then backcharge the schools if the schools can't sell the crappy seats.
I have 8 tickets now... Only need three, but after finding out the first four I bought on ticketmaster are in the opposite corner I got some through Vivid. Hope this thing gets sold out so that somebody buys my section 308 tickets.
Email [email protected] with your order number and tell them you want to cancel. I did this today.
Just picked up 7 in section 138! Used a 10% off promo code (only good today, and only on the app) with StubHub and the total with fees was just under $1k.
Promo code was COLLEGEFOOTBALL10, came up automatically when I opened the app.

Allotment is 11,000 and we'll have 30,000+ in cardinal and gold in the stadium and flooding river walk. I wouldn't be too worried.
30,000+? Even at that wee won’t be at 50% off the stadium. Let’s shoot for a record and 65-70% Cyclones!
The Alamodome seats 65,000 for football. With temporary seating, a Valero Alamo Bowl record crowd of 66,166attended the 2007 Valero Alamo Bowl.
What a racket. I have sold two of my four tickets on Ticketmaster. Bought for $55 paid $11.50 in fees. Sold two of them for $70, which I get $63 each so I lose $3 each ticket. And the buyer surely is paying another $12 each. So if I'm doing the math right, my "$55" ticket is going to make tm $30 for each ticket. No wonder why they only allow e-tickets. Prevents me from printing and selling and they control every transaction.
My donor level last year was $1500 and my Liberty Bowl tickets were not good. (row 70ish on about the 10 yard line) With these allotments and the number of tickets people further up the food chain can buy it's nearly impossible to get a decent seat through the university.
If I don't find something online I like, I think I'll just take my chances and buy outside the stadium. Surely there will be someone with a post Christmas break up/family issue that will have an extra ticket or two. LOL

How long did it take for you to get a confirmation that they cancelled?
I went ahead and bought tickets in 138 row 25 on stubhub this morning.
Sorry I am just seeing this!
I just emailed the ticket office at [email protected]. They did it for me. But I think you can do it online somewhere, too. Didn't want to mess with it. Just be sure to do it by Wednesday.
