Chick-fil-A Bowl sells out Again

For the 16th consecutive year, the Chick-fil-A Bowl has sold its complete allotment of tickets for the ACC vs. SEC rivalry bowl game.  The Bowl ticket office sold nearly 35,000 tickets to local and regional buyers. A record 94% of ticket buyers renewed their purchases for this year’s bowl game, which features No.8 LSU and No.14 Clemson. LSU and Clemson, following their selections on Dec. 2, purchased all remaining tickets for the 71,996-seat Georgia Dome. The only available tickets to the Chick-fil-A Bowl must be purchased through the university ticket offices. The teams’ allotment of tickets will remain on-sale until they sell out. The Chick-fil-A Bowl’s string of 16 consecutive sellouts is the second longest among all bowls in the country, trailing only the Rose Bowl. Over that span, the Chick-fil-A Bowl is among the highest-attended non-BCS games in the nation with an average attendance of 72,126 in its previous 15 games. The 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl will be played Dec. 31 at 7:30pm and will be nationally televised by ESPN.
