Starting tomorrow, the University of Hawaii will sell its remaining Allstate Sugar Bowl tickets through etickethawaii.com and at its bowl ticket office in the Marriott New Orleans.Ticket had been on sale today at the Stan Sheriff Center for the general public, provided they showed a Hawaii driver's license. More than 100 tickets were sold, UH officials said.
Tickets go on sale online at 8 a.m. today and and outside Preservation Hall on the second floor of the Marriott (UH's headquarter hotel) beginning at noon.
New Orleans' Central time zone is four hours ahead of Hawaii. There will be no more tickets sold at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Customers will be limited to six tickets and those purchasing tickets online will need to pick up their tickets at the Louisiana Superdome Will Call window the day of the game.
"Now that we have taken care of ticket requests from our season-ticket holders and UH fans in Hawaii, we're going to make the remaining tickets available to mainland fans and members of the general public," Herman Frazier, UH athletics director, said. "We have worked diligently though this process to take care of our affinity groups, while also doing our best to help other fans secure tickets."
Seat locations for the remaining tickets will be determined based on the order in which the tickets are purchased.
The UH ticket office does not have an exact number of tickets remaining for sale, since they are continuing to reconcile tickets from various lists, according to Walter Watanabe, UH ticket manager. "The ticket count is fluid but we'll make as many tickets available as possible."
