When Georgia plays in South Bend, Indiana, on Saturday night, it will not be alone, as thousands of Dawg fans have made the trip north for such a rare occurrence. After all, Georgia-Notre Dame games are something you see less frequently than a solar eclipse or Halley's Comet.

Unfortunately for a lot of the Georgia fans that made the trip, the tickets they thought they bought for the game don't exist.

According to a report from WXIA in Atlanta, a couple of hundred fans don't have tickets after a broker named Jeff Cook apparently oversold his allotment.

From the WXIA report:

Word has been spreading like wildfire about a ticket broker named Jeff Cook, who runs a ticket site called AllSports. Cook sold tickets to hundreds of Georgia fans, but recently he has begun sending notices that he cannot provide tickets to everyone. "He kind of oversold our allotment. Myself and a couple other hundred Dog fans specifically got letters in the mail or got notified that he oversold his allotment and weren't getting tickets," [Georgia fan Sam] Welch said. It was during the drive when Welch realized he was probably one of the hundreds that won't be getting a ticket from Cook, although he hasn't been able to get in touch with him to find out.

WXIA says it has tried to contact Cook about the tickets but has been unable to reach him. Some Georgia fans have even driven to Cook's house -- his address is listed on ticket site -- to find a note on the front door. The note said Cook was shipping out the tickets as fast as he received them and that he would be out of town for a couple of days due to a family emergency.

As for what happened, the theory is that Cook thought he would have more tickets available to sell, but once Notre Dame fans saw the prices Georgia fans were paying for tickets, they held on to them and decided to sell the tickets themselves.

Whatever happened, it's unfortunate that a lot of fans will have made the trip for naught.
