    I've been trying to see if I can find it on ebay to see if I could give you a hand, but I can't find it. Are you sure it was 9 tickets b/c a lot of them say "Row 9" for around $1200. (I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, I'd just hate for you to get screwed)

    I also like to check to see if the seller has sold similar items before and read the comments. Also take into consideration how long they have been on EBay. It's not that hard to set up a bogus account and be in cohorts with someone, set up bogus auctions to artificially inflate the sellers ratings.

    uuumm Dude 9 tickets for $1200.00 I think he got shafted, I have alot of experience with ebay and here is the deal, look on ebay on your spare time for Sugar Bowl tickets the cheapest for 2 seats so far is $400.00, the most is $14000.00, shit a single ticket is $150.00. For his sake I hope that the guy comes through but I am afraid he got took but Good Luck!!!!!

    I just called my friend and told him to call it off. When it sounds to good to be true, it is. What happened is he emailed the seller and said he'd buy the tickets, so the guy pulled them off of ebay, and he wants us to send him the money like via western union, which makes it sound fishy. Then we asked for a phone number, and he said I can not give you that information at this time. So this is just warning if any of yall see something thats a great deal on the internet with these tickets, its probably a sham.

    It's a scam.....nobody EVER asks for money via Western Union. They may ask for money orders, but NOT Western Union.

    Thank goodness you posted it on here. You would be out of $1200 and have no way to get it back either.

    You need to report this to ebay immediately so no one else gets screwed.
