OU Tickets.... 2012 cutoff??

[Referee13]

A friend of mine got a letter advising no OU tickets. She didn't say how much their LHF donation was, but she suspects her husband's company(ExxonMobil) did not match this year or there was a mixup on the matching donation process. Anyone else get a no OU tickets letter yet?

I donate $450/year and since the expansion of the stadium have not had a problem.

I have not seen a letter yet, but I have been traveling the past two weeks and my mail is sitting at home.

In past years, I've never gotten an acceptance or rejection letter fro OU tickets. When I didn't get them, I just got a credit on my visa statement and when I got them, they came in the mail as a surprise.

I would guess that sort of response about no OU tickets is about not getting your priority donation in before the due date and being summarily ineligible for OU priority, not related to the cutoff.

I noticed on the season-ticket renewal form that Oklahoma was one of the games (along with Tech and Ole Miss) for which not everyone who ordered would receive (not sure if that included non-Longhorn Foundation donors).

Following the 2008 Cotton Bowl expansion, all Longhorn Foundation donors (from $150 on up) who ordered OU tickets received them. Last year, that also was the case: texassports.com

The warning on the season-ticket renewal form and the OP's story make me wonder whether there will again be a donation-level cutoff for Longhorn Foundation members to receive Oklahoma tickets...

Just out of curiousity, where are the LHF donation tickets located for the OU game? I assume that the amount of yearly donation influences the quality of the tickets and they're spread out around the stadium in the Texas sections based upon amount of donation. I'm totally ignorant about the system and am interested in how it works. (I live in California.)

Thanks to anyone willing to educate me.

My understanding of the distrubution is basically common sense. The higher the donation, the better the tickets. The lower the donation the more in the end zone and higher up you go. The students are basically in the sections behind smokey and towards the 50.

Does this mean the cutoff was lowered?
