We noted last week that the minimum point total for new season tickets would be lower, but the exact number hadn’t been announced yet. Marc Weiszer lets us know today that the figure has been set at $1,550.

It’s worth repeating the points we made last week. First, Georgia still has more demand than they have season tickets. Some orders will be refunded. That’s an enviable position considering the economy and how many schools even in the football-crazy southeast are faring. Second, though the stories are mostly about the decline in demand from 2008’s insane $10,000+ minimum, 2008 is looking more and more like an outlying spike. The current minimum of 1,550 is more in line with the 2007 minimum of 1,991.
