OU fans still have ticket chances

Oklahoma Sooner fans who don't have tickets to the big game yet may be relegated to online brokers or scalpers outside Dolphin Stadium.

The No. 1 Sooners play No. 2 Florida at 7 p.m. on Jan. 8 in Miami, Fla., in the Bowl Championship Series national title game.

OU announced by midday Monday that the school already had sold its allotment of 16,000 tickets through student sales and individuals who pre-ordered based on the athletic department's priority points system. Florida has a similar system, by which UF season-ticket holders are given first priority at purchasing tickets for the game. Florida will also hold a student lottery.

The BCS and Orange Bowl Committees announced Sunday on their Web sites that tickets for the game are sold out.

But the BCS and Orange Bowl are endorsing RazorGator.com as the official fan-to-fan ticket exchange, as well as VIPTicketCompany.com as the preferred travel supplier.

Dolphin Stadium has a capacity of 72,230. Face value on game tickets is $175, but several options were available as of Monday night.

TicketMaster.com had 4,306 tickets ranging from $472 to $4,279, as well as options for luxury suites.

StubHub.com lists 2,232 tickets for sale starting at $465 and going up to $4,444 and also is selling suite packages.

RazorGator.com is selling tickets 3,462 tickets from $549 to $4,472, with most of the upper-end seats in the range of $1,000 to $2,700.

Online sellers such as eBay and craigslist also listed thousands of tickets for sale.
