Posted: 2:34 PM- Utah, which was given an allotment of 17,500 tickets for the Jan. 2 Sugar Bowl will put its remaining tickets on sale Friday at 10 a.m.

for the general public to purchase.

Only Crimson Club members and season ticket holders have been allowed to purchase tickets in recent days.

Tickets can be purchased online at utahutes.com, by phone (801-581-UTIX) and at the Rice-Eccles Stadium ticket office.

Utah ticket manager Zack Lassiter said in a release the Utes expect a "heavy demand" and hope to sell their allotment. The Utes received 3,000 orders before the bowl announcement and on Monday Lassiter said orders were steadily coming into the ticket office.

Utah fans who hope to get tickets through the general sale shouldn't delay Friday because many Alabama fans are expected to buy the tickets too. Alabama's allotment was filled by season ticket holders in mid-November.

Alabama has more than 60,000 season ticket holders and Sugar Bowl tickets are in high demand with the Tide making their first appearance in the bowl since 1993, when it won the national title with a 34-13 win over Miami.
