OK PD, when someone calls the ticket office how can they tell if they are Tech fans unless they say outright. If they say "we're Mississippi State fans" I guess the telephone operator can then direct them to non prime seats. But if it's computer there is no way to tell (well practically, but our ticket office probably hasn't got that level of technology). You see it all the time on network games. One or two lone fans from the opposite team scattered in the home team section. And remember a lot of "our" staff are not Tech grads and their job is to sell tickets. Years ago I talked to an Ohio State grad. This might need to be addressed.

One remedy could be to ask the opposing team to request more tickets when they sell their first block. Of course this would be admitting that we can't sell out. I believe the rule used to be that you only had to provide 1000 tickets for the visiting team to sell. This may or may not have been true.
