According to Mobile Press-Register, Auburn is having a difficult time selling it’s allotment of 12,500 tickets to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

“We’re going to have to sell some,” said Auburn tickets director Stephen Naughton. “We’re hoping to sell out. We haven’t given up yet.”

Naughton did not disclose exactly how many tickets had been sold.

“We’re hoping in the next few days to get a strong push,” he said.

Auburn must sell its remaining tickets or absorb the cost.

“We’ve got a senior class that has won more football games than any other class in the history of Auburn,” said Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs. “In 1982, when I played against Nebraska, Auburn ended up on the low side of that. So I certainly hope that we can blanket that stadium in orange and have a good run at the Cornhuskers.”
