Less than 750 USC vs. UVA Tickets Left

It's GAME WEEK folks!

Nothing gets my blood pumping more than coming out of summer, and into Autumn and FOOTBALL SEASON!! Strangely enough, there is a hint of color in some of the maples around our neighborhood, which seems early to me.

With the Trojan/Cavalier tilt less than a week away, tickets are going fast. There is less than 750 ducats left on StubHub with some FIXED prices as low as $55. That's only $5 above face value folks, so now is the time to get in.

I actually have one ticket in section 519 (next to me) for sale for $50. Unfortunately, my wife will have to watch our 15 month old son, Ethan, and won't be able to go to the game. So, if there is a Trojan out there interested in buying it, contact me at GSOTrojan@aol.com.

Fight On and FRY THE FISH!!

USC vs. UVA Tickets Prices Dropping Again...

As I expected, the closer to the USC/UVA kickoff we get, the more the prices will drop because folks don't want to be left holding unsold tickets. There are still a few dreamers out there with $500+ prices, maybe they'll sell, most likely they won't, not for those prices. Right now, there are less than 1,050 tickets left for the game. I expect this week most of those tickets will go because people don't want to wait until game week, they want to give their tickets enough time to get into their hands.

A number of tickets are now in the $50-$80, with the lower priced ones being sold "at auction." Remember, the face value of the tickets is $50.

Good luck!

Less Than 1,200 USC vs. UVA Tickets Left

Hey Gang:

StubHub is showing less than 1,200 tickets remain for the USC/UVA game. There are some tickets that are $75 in section 522 and, someone has put 2 tickets in section 518 up for auction starting at $55.

It looks like many tickets are going for just under $100, with more in the $100-$125 range. My guess is, the closer we get to game time, the cheaper these will become as folks get scared they won't be able to sell them at all, so keep checking. You can get quick access to the StubHub USC/Virginia game by clicking the dueling helmet picture at the top of the blog.

[8/13 UPDATE]
There are now less than 1,100 tickets left, so if you are looking to buy, act fast!

Good luck!

Donated Tickets Update...

GREAT news, Trojans! So far, the Trojan Family has donated 48 tickets to the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville, according to Sabrina Grant. There have been 26 tickets to the UVA/Richmond game, and 22 tickets to the UVA/East Carolina games sent. Awesome job!

Please donate your tickets ASAP, as it gives the organization plenty of time to coordinate which kids go to which games, and makes the Club's job a little easier. Mailing information for the Boys & Girls' Club in in the right column under "USC/Virginia Quick Info."

Those who have donated tickets, your donation letter has been delayed due to the absence of the Director, who has recently undergone surgery. We wish him a speedy recovery!

Fight On!

USC vs. UVA Ticket Update...

Well, tickets seem to be moving quicker and are pricier now that we are less than a month from kickoff. All the sub-$80 tickets are gone on StubHub with a number of tickets still available between $80 and $100. So, if you are looking for USC vs. UVA tickets, you may want to think about getting in now.

There are less than 1,350 tickets left on StubHub, good luck!

For those of you in the Southeast (GA, SC, and NC), we should be finalizing our "Conquest Caravan to Charlottesville" very soon. Georgia Trojans will get an early start and hook up with Charlotte Trojans, who'll make their way up to Greensboro to meet up with Triad Trojans, as well as Triangle Trojans who'll make their way over from Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill/Cary. We'll all have lunch in Greensboro around 12:30 at Natty Greene's Brewhouse, then have a car painting party to get ready for the 3.5 hour drive out of Greensboro up Hwy 29 directly into C'ville, where we'll then disperse to our respective hotels.

We also need to decide what we want to do about Saturday's tailgate too.

Next week, I'll try to get a final tally, as well as a meeting point in Charlotte for the Georgia/Charlotte Trojans to link up before the 90 minute drive to GSO.

It's getting close folks, football is in the air!

Fight On and BEAT the 'Hoos!

Who wants USC vs. UVA Tickets?

Apparently a number of people are looking for USC vs. UVA tickets, even as far away as India! A recent look at the visitor activity map shows some interesting locations for inquires, take a look:

(Click the image to enlarge, use the "back" button to return to the blog)
That's interesting to say the least, I'll be curious where folks come from the closer we get to the game.

Obviously, the heaviest concentrations of searches are coming from California and Virginia/Maryland/Mid-Atlantic area. Here is the U.S. map:


Here are the different ways folks found our blog, using these search words (again, click to enlarge):


It is amazing how detailed the search engines get when separating a search request: usc vs uva is different than usc vs. uva (note the period in "vs."). Still this is a great tool when you are targeting a certain market so the search engines will find you and offer your information to John Q. Public (or Samir Q. Public if you are in India).

If you are looking for usc vs. uva or usc vs uva tickets, there are plenty available, so I hope you can get some and join the party!

My USC vs. UVA Tickets Arrived!

Woo Hoo!

I received my USC/Virginia tickets (section 519) in the mail yesterday, the season is just around the corner!

There are still over 1,600 tickets available on StubHub, and still the prices are coming down. There are a number of tickets in section 524 for $70.00+ (the face value of the USC ticket is $50.00). If you want to know what your view would look like from any section, click:

Scott Stadium virtual seating chart

Just scroll over each section and you'll get an idea of your sight line, pretty cool!

Fall camp starts in early August, but the team has been working on conditioning and self-directed passing drills already. This should be another GREAT season, hope you'll be in Charlottesville with the rest of us to enjoy the opener!

Fight On!

Possible USC/UVA Tickets Available

Hey Trojans:

There was a post on the uscfootball.com site from a Trojan who may have 10 USC/UVA ticket packages available at face value for "Trojans only." I cannot vouch for anything more than the information he posted. If you are interested (and you may have to act lightning quick to get them), contact: socalhugo@yahoo.com

[Update] - All 10 tickets have been sold. =(

Good luck!

Of course, if that doesn't work out, you can always click the StubHub link above and try to secure some ducats that way too...(yes, the Triad Trojan Club does get compensated if you buy tickets using our link, so why not contribute to the cause?)

Pillaging Westwood's Recruits

In other news, the 2009 football recruiting class is shaping up nicely. The Trojans recently converted a UCLA commit over from the darkside to commit to Troy. Truth be told, Byron Moore was a lifelong Trojan fan and gave the bRUINS his commitment early, but after an impressive showing at USC's Rising Stars camp, Byron got his dream offer from Pete Carroll and will be joining the Cardinal and Gold next season. Fight on Byron!

UVA Season "Kickoff Package" is Sold Out.

Hey Trojans:

The UVA season "Kickoff Package" that included USC, East Carolina and Richmond is sold out. At this point, there are only a few options left.
  1. Wait and try to get the "Single Game" ticket on the UVA site (Bwahahahaha!)
  2. Try StubHub, which is linked via the banner ad above and they probably have some tickets for sale (though for a weeee bit more than face value)
As for coordinating the trip up, the game is at 3:30 PM, and the trip takes about 3.5 hours to make, probably 4 by bus, so if there was a thought to charter one, you'd probably have to leave the Triad about 7-8 AM to give yourself plenty of time to make it to campus, then tailgate for a few hours before going to the game.

As for myself, I plan on leaving early Friday (subject to change) to get to our hotel in Waynesboro. If anyone wants to team up for a caravan up that day, let me know. I'll get some Cardinal and Gold water based paint to decorate my car for the trek into "enemy territory."

For your enjoyment, I created a "USC/UVA Countdown Widget" for your browser, or desktop. Feel free to download it and share it with your USC/UVA friends.

Fight On!

USC/Virginia Tickets Still Available

According to Alexis P., there are still UVA "Season Kickoff Packages" available. Apparently, UVA released limited amounts of the packages so they wouldn't be sold out in a few hours. While I can't guarantee tickets will still be available when you call, at least there may still be some hope.

We are still going to try and coordinate with other Carolina Trojans to either caravan, or tailgate together at the game. Maybe we'll even get together and have a "car painting party" (there is a carpool lot near my house off Hwy 29 which goes right to Charlottesville) with some water based paints to proudly display the Cardinal and Gold on our way up to the game?

I am trying to find some accommodations to stay a night or two up in Virginia as I have a feeling the game will be an 8:00 PM kickoff for prime time, so I don't feel like driving 3.5 hours home at midnight. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Don't forget to email me at GSOTrojan@aol.com if you get tickets so I can have you on the mailing list for the caravan/tailgate

Fight On!
