With the win over ULM this afternoon, the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns are bowl eligible for the fifth time in six years!
Due to the College Football Playoff format instituted a couple years ago, teams will find out what bowl they will play in during the ESPN Bowl Selection Show this Sunday, December 4, starting at 11 AM.
In anticipation of receiving a bowl invitation, there is some information that will be important regarding 2016 bowl tickets.
Fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets through the Athletics Ticket Office. Cajun Nation has established an impressive reputation for travelling to bowl games. Tickets purchased through our ticket office show future bowl destinations the amount of fan interest there is for Ragin’ Cajuns Football. Bowl selections are not simply determined by conference standings, but are also affected by past history of fan travel and support at bowl games.
Additionally, our ticket office will sell the best tickets available behind the Ragin’ Cajuns bench. Obviously, this will also give you the ability to sit with fellow Ragin’ Cajuns fans.
- Seating priority and location will be based on the following:
- RCAF Priority Points Ranking (as of December 9, 2016 at noon)
- 2016 Football Season Ticket Holders that are not currently RCAF Annual Fund donors
- Current UL students on a first-come, first-served basis in the Bowl “Red Zone”
- Alumni Association members
- General public on a first-come, first-served basis
- Ticket Quantity will be based on the 2016 RCAF Annual Fund donor level (as of December 9, 2016 at noon)
- As an added bonus, RCAF Annual Fund donors who purchase tickets to the bowl game prior to the December 9th priority deadline will receive additional RCAF Priority Points added to their current point total. These points will be reflected in the accumulative point total in the donor’s account. Fans purchasing up to four bowl game tickets will receive five additional RCAF Priority Points. Fans purchasing five bowl tickets or more will receive a total of 10 additional priority points.
- Bowl Ticket Order Forms will be available on RaginCajuns.com as early as Sunday afternoon.
