There is also one on 93 by exit 18 in Boston.

I got that very same email. I was actually embarrassed that things have come to this. It's really quite sad.

That's a good practice anyway because if it's not the ticket office then some nerd is pumping you for money that you probably need way more than our alma mater.
No tickets yet for me either.

They always call me on Sunday afternoons for cash which is a sure fire way to annoy me when I am watching football.

Just wait until they start making calls on Saturday while the staff is shucksing away the game.

SeaCaptim {l Wrote}:BTW-I received a call from a BC ticket guy (nice guy) and I told him that I love BC football (maybe a bit of a stretch) but that I could not "give" away my "extra" ticket (i had 2 season tickets prior). The ticket rep, responded with "have you heard about our ticket exchange program". I said yes, but that I did not want to pay an extra $240 for a season ticket and then donate it to BC, who in turn adds a $10 (at least) fee for someone wants to buy a ticket to the NC State game.
Why would some guy (even an idiot) pay $40 plus $10 fee to BC thru their ticket exchange disaster program, when BC has established the "VALUE" of the ticket at $0 to BC season ticket holders??
I also do not want Gene to escape this disaster by claiming that Fenway Sports marketing "told" him to do these things. This is insanity at its core.

Are you an undergraduate alumni of Boston College who graduated between '01 and '11?
Donor-Based Seating (DBS) is used for both football and basketball as a method to help increase funding for athletic scholarships for Boston College student-athletes. At the same time, DBS rewards major donors to the Flynn Fund by providing them with season ticket options in the prime areas of both Alumni Stadium and/or Conte Forum. The program requires an annual, per-seat contribution in order to retain seats within these specified sections. To view current DBS sections for each sport, please click the "Stadium Maps" box below.
Demand for the best seats in Alumni Stadium and Conte Forum remains high. Throughout our history these premium seats are always in demand regardless of the team's performance. Yeah Right
Like cliff diving or ferret ownership, football is an endeavor best watched from the sidelines. Witness acts of bodily bravery with today’s GrouponLive deal to a Boston College Eagles home football game at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill. Choose from the following options:
For the game against Northwestern on Saturday, September 3, at 12 p.m., choose from the following ticket options:
* For $10, you get one end-zone ticket (up to a $25 value).
* For $36, you get four end-zone tickets (up to a $100 value).
For the game against Duke on September 17, at 12:30 p.m., choose from the following ticket options:
* For $10, you get one end-zone ticket (up to a $25 value).
* For $36, you get four end-zone tickets (up to a $100 value).
The team that birthed the golden arms of Doug Flutie and Matt Ryan returns to the gridiron for another season of making legends and chasing the BCS bowl. Populated with brawny engineering majors, the nation’s best run defense plans to erect the same frontline ramparts that made the unit such a success in its 2010 campaign. Quarterback Chase Rettig refuses to let them do all the heavy lifting as the second-year sharpshooter sinks his talons into the ball and scans the field with eagle-eyed acumen. Rettig will have plenty of help on his side of the field, as senior running back Montel Harris returns to break the Atlantic Coast Conference records for all-time rushing yards and whimpers elicited from opposing safeties.
The 44,500-seat Alumni Stadium allows Boston College to reap the benefits of its illustrious history, as the ghosts of former squads invisibly join end-zone crowds to cheer on their torchbearers. Fans clad in maroon and gold can take in scenic views of the Boston skyline between downs or revel at the immediate beauty of the stadium’s brick-and-glass façade.
Tickets will be available for pickup at the Gate B box office as early as three hours before kickoff. Seating is first come, first served, with the first 3,000 tickets sold in the lower end zone and all remaining tickets in the upper end zone.

So many fucking poseurs.
Tell me again about how you let the young alumni phone offers go straight to voicemail?
