Not surprisingly, Pittsburgh and Kentucky are struggling to unload tickets to the BBVA Compass Bowl. Each school was required to buy 10,000 tickets for the Jan. 8 game at Legion Field.
Pitt has distributed between 2,000 and 3,000 tickets, athletics department spokesman E.J. Borghetti said. Borghetti declined to say how many have been sold and how many are allocated for free, such as to staff members, band members, cheerleaders and players’ families.
Kentucky media relations director Tony Neely reported the school’s ticket sales at 4,000. He also did not elaborate on the number sold compared to distributed.
