Ding!
That's the norm for most major programs...as first home game in 9 months are generally hard sellouts and can easily get higher prices.
Great opportunity for "Killin and Company" to explode on the scene. Maybe, I can go for $55
Hawaii as a program has been around for ages. I even remember them before UCF. Take the glasses off, lets win some games on a regular basis and maybe more people will show.
Remember the JJ catch at Temple? Lots of fans dressed up like chairs.

Yes, and just like any road game for UCF, the GKC Members get first crack at available tickets in the UCF Allotment followed by non-booster season ticket holders.
I know a lot boosters that have planned this road trip...as this will probably be UCF first and only trip to ever play in Ann Arbor.
Great. Thanks. Always more fun to sit in our sections. I now have a decent amount of GKC points so that should help.
Got my airfare and hotel. Btw.., hotel prices are crazy expensive within 10 miles. Must be the demand for a stadium that will have 110,000 fans.
Yeah...generations of UM Alum basically have and have had "standing orders" for hotel rooms for every UM Football Weekend...but Ann Arbor is a great college town..and that's not on a football weekend which only amps it up 10 fold...so I've recommended to everyone going...since this will probably be UCF's only gave ever played at UM...skimped and save $$$ elsewhere (before or after the trip) and stay in Ann Arbor for the weekend...as it will be a blast!
Get a clue. Marshall has been around for ages and I doubt they would draw a higher $ amount. Winning games has nothing to do with this. Hawaii hasn't done squat in decades. They have won 17 total games over the past 5 seasons and haven't even sniffed a bowl in that time. Know when to play the "glasses" card.
Stay in Detroit. Nothing like it, you'll never forget.
Is that like the "seeing your parents naked" kind of never forget, or the "first time to disney" kind of never forget?
Hahaha! I got a hotel in Ann Arbor! I decided to choose life.

1.6 miles from the big house. Glad I booked way early. Everything there seems to have now gone up to $250-$400 a night![[cheers]](https://ct.yimg.com/mr/uploads/891/5628.gif "Cheers [cheers]")

I'm excited for this one too, even if our chances are extremely low of keeping it even competitive. A chance to see UCF in the Big House almost as rare as seeing UCF in Dublin.
Watch the Temple game again. Weren't most of the fans dressed up as chairs? Can you at least answer that question?
What else can UCF do besides win more games? Obviously there's more, but its a start. Dont forget 0-12.
It doesnt matter what Hawaii hasn't done in 5 seasons, they're still a brand name over us. Theyve been around for decades!
Seriously take the glasses off its ok. Oh yeah your boy GOL is gone. Coach Frost is gonna turn this around so maybe your trash talk will sound convincing the next go around.
I'm confused, what does Temple not selling out their own stadium have to with us?
I was wondering the same thing. Did they sell more against Hawaii or something? And why is he tying the JJ catch to our 0-12 season? Nor is Hawaii a brand name over us. 10 years ago? Maybe. Now? No. Everybody knows who UCF is and the product we have. And has been reported by other P5's and Bowl representatives, UCF has one of the best travelling G5 fanbases in the country.
It means we are not a name that will put butts in their seats....at least not yet. So they have to entice people to go like lowering the prices?
Didnt Bright House Networks stadium adjust prices for certain games? I recall they did for the so-called marquee ones.
Gotta love when trolls use 0-12 to define the program. It's like the 4 years before that conveniently didn't happen. UCF travels great. We filled up our allotment forOhio State and I'm sure we will do it again for Michigan.
Yeah, everywhere does that. UF does it for FSU. Ohio State for Michigan. It's called simple supply and demand.
Temple didn't even sell out Notre Damast year. They have no fanbase therefore you have no argument.
In 2013, Temple sold just as many tickets against us as they did ranked Loserville and every game sold for the same ticket price. Your argument doesn't hold weight.
And G5 vs P5 prices will differ. That's a no brainer. But my argument was G5 Hawaii vs G5 UCF prices.
How many of its own fans UCF brings isn't the same how many overall fans UCF will bring to its own game.
Next time you whine about some of our opponents at home next year will be the next time i point this out to you...again.
I don't whine about our attendance and I'm not worried about it now with Frost.
But your argument regarding Hawaii, Temple, UCF, or whatever you were arguing had no merit. I'm done with this discussion. Another added to the ignore list.

Lol always refer to yourself when others have complained about topics like our opponents...not attendance.
You and eng are the ones resorting to personal attacks. Sorry that a difference of opinion is going to affect you that badly.
All i'm saying is by its longer existence, Hawaii Rainbows football has a better brand name. Are they a good team recently? Of course not. Is there budget any better than ours? If June Jones was offered more money to go SMU then there budget should be questioned. Dont pretend we're heads and toes above them. I do think CSF is the answer though and in upcoming years (short time) we should be heads and toes above programs like Hawaii. I mean we're taking their recruits already. Thats a start.*
You said to take the glasses off. I told you to get a clue because you haven't had one yet (even now). It's not like I called your mom or sister out or something.
I told you to take the UCF glasses off because youre being too much of a fan. I respect you being a UCF fan just like i am believe it or not, but i'm pointing out examples that lead to why a UCF ticket would be $55. Someone left a comment about our Fiesta Bowl season and how this had the potential to be a big deal if we maintained that kind of season going into 2016.
Which leads me to this. Sure if UCF had consistent one or two loss seasons after 2013, i would feel the same way. I'm sorry but 9-16 in the last two years which included a last second loss in Ireland, a disgusting bowl loss to NC State and 0-12 in 2015 isnt going to cut it.
Sure we had solid seasons before 2013, but overall still 7-23 versus the P5.
That doesnt scream big time G5 team.
Yet im the one who needs to get a clue.
You have said nothing to substantiate that claim. Longer existence means nothing. Are you saying Western Michigan is a better brand name because they have been around longer? Or the 50+ other G5 schools that have been around longer? C'mon man! Longer existence means squat. I can provide attendance records, merchandising numbers, achievements, and personal accounts if need be to show that UCF has accomplished more and means more than Hawaii ever has or ever will. Get out and travel to some of these away games. The country knows and respects UCF above most other G5's. That is better brand recognition!
Western Michigan has done squat compared to UCF....and they are not on an island half around the world. To downgrade the history of Hawaii football, is to ignore the history of how visiting teams do when they play them, how long have theyve existed, the coverage they get on TV.
And yes I understand whoever attends away games will respect UCF. That is whoever shows up and thats my argument. Not enough are showing up. And im not talking about our fans, not once did i mention how much little we bring. Im aware of the increase of fans we bring on the road which was the highlight of 2015. Im bringing up examples of how their home fans respond to us. I go back to one of the examples i read about how in 2014, the Missouri fans weren't pumped to watch us play. Its comparable to how our fanbase wasnt excited to watch SMU on Senior Day in 2014.
All im saying is, if we keep having positive years, enough to where the casual fan starts comparing us to the original Big 3 of Florida, then they'll treat us like we treat big time P5 teams when they come to BHN....and we won't have the lowest priced tickets.
We are just under 25% winning percentage against P5. You will be lucky to find a handful of G5's that are better. And by the way, you are steering way away from your Hawaii longevity brand recognition argument. But anyway, the average winning percentage for G5 vs P5 over the past decade is something like 8%.
UCF goes 0-12 and is STILL on the lips as a top 5 candidate for Big12 expansion. Man, nobody must know who UCF is.

I already mentioned Hawaii. I mentioned that i have faith that with CSF as our coach, we will easily surpass Hawaii in perception....and ill add the talk of UCF to the Big 12 will turn into action - slam dunk style or three pointer if youre a Stephen Curry fan.*
What screams big time G5 to you? There are only a few.
BYU in the past. Boise during their run. UCF for 2010, 2011, 2013, and maybe 2014. And Houston right now. That's it. These are the only times a G5 team went on to win at the big stage.

All I can say is someone has had their eyes closed for the past decade. UCF has already accomplished more than Hawaii ever has.... except age.
