Calling All Adwords Experts! Google Analytics and "Goals"

    I have the following scenario I was hoping someone could help me out with:

    As an example, let's say I have the landing site football.abcdef.com and would like my traffic to eventually get to buygiantstickets.abcdef.com (both subdomains are on the same domain name), how do I properly setup a goal for this? I only want the traffic to go to this subdomain, I do not care if they buy at this point.

    I setup a goal as view page http://buygiantstickets.abcdef.com within the football.acbcdef.com report, and google seems to think that every visit to football.abcdef.com is a conversion when I want google to only count traffic to the other site.

    Is this because I have the same domain name, and google only looks at domain name when counting goals? I changed the goal setting to be http://buygiantstickets.com/index.html as it says to put the actual pagename that you want counted, but now nothing is being counted as conversions.

    Can any adwords experts that have this setup help me out? Thanks!
