I spoke today with Edison athletic director Bruce Belcher and Fountain Valley principal Chris Herfeld today. Here is the latest on the possibility of moving the game (Nov. 6 at Orange Coast College, capacity 7,600) to a larger venue, given how quickly the game sold out  ...

Parents at both schools are very angry that tickets were all sold, they tell me, before students got a chance to purchase them. This is always a huge game, but is more so this year because both teams are in the top 10 and both are going into this week with 7-0 records. The game is Nov. 6 at Orange Coast College (seating capacity is 7,600 there).  It is Edison's home game.

I have calls in, and left messages, to both schools' principals to find out what actually happened with the ticket sales.

Craigslist has listings of FV-Edison tickets -- $40-$55. That's a lot of money for a high school football game (I saw Led Zeppelin for $9).

For the huge Servite-Mater Dei last week, at Santa Stadium (capacity 10,000) both schools had a very intricate, well-thought-out method for distributing tickets. That method will be in the Fryer column, online Thursday afternoon at ocvarsity.com and in the print OC Register on Friday.

Come back for updates on this situation.

All the tickets are gone for the game, which is Nov. 6 at Orange Coast College.

No, they won't move it to a bigger stadium. (The capacity at OCC is 7,600). Cerritos College is taken (OLu-Servite). Cal State Fullerton is cost-prohibitive, and Angel Stadium, to play a high school game in that place, requires weeks of preparation.

Remember, the Angels were eliminated just a couple of days ago.

You will be able to keep up with the game, of course, with ocvarsity.com's live updates. There may be live video, too, from our friends at IBN Sports.
