Would you spend $500+ on a ticket to the Sugar Bowl?

I wonder if I can remember the e-mail address to the investigatory attorney I used to date at the Attorney General's Office...

Jcrack_corn...Remember the rest of that song you got your name from?

Jimmy Crack Corn...and WE (instead of I, like in the song) DON'T CARE TO GET RAPED BY SOME PRICK LIKE YOU.

WHY NOT SELL THE BASTARDS AT FACE VALUE LIKE A HUMAN BEING INSTEAD OF ACTING LIKE A WHORE?

 

Thats a good way to put it!

 

Wow, that's polite! Thanks. Sorry for offending, but blame the market, not me. Why aren't cars sold for a 10% profit (instead of the industry average 25-50%)? THe bottom line is that both of these schools sell out there stadiums (about 170,000) and they will be playing in a city that will already have a few hundred thousand visitors. Supply and demand is a bitch, but not my fault.

Anyway, I'm only selling them for face value, pluce a procurement fee based on my hours spent searching for them, along with fees for various LSU merchandise.

All you have to do is not buy them. Others obviously have great interest.

 

I have deicded to apply my student loan to purchassing a ticket.

 

jcrack_corn:

cars are sold for so much because it's a business. LSU football is not a business... it's about bringing everyone together to pack that stadium as we root for our TIGERS! it's not about making money, it's about fraternity and winning and singing the fight song! it's about being proud and supporting your fellow fans! it's not about making a buck a fellow fans expense.
i'm not hating on you, i can understand your reasons.
i'm just saying let a few good ole boys go to the game of our lifetime. if you start, maybe others will follow suit.

 

Re: A Little Advice

Where is this going on? Classifieds section?

 

disagree here

All of college football is only a business. If it wasn't LSU would let students have first crack at the 16000 tickets they get. Instead, what is the student allotment? 1500 tickets?

I do understand that TAF members are the lifeblood and that is why they get 90% of the tickets and I dont disagree with that (where do you think that 50million x 2 came from for the first renovation and now the second?).

LSU "only" profits 2.5 million per game, yet they need to add the extra 400 bucks to season tickets to "remain competitive."

The only reason we dont have a playoff season is that the 110 million generated by bowl games now would jump to probably close to half a billion (tv contracts for a 10/12 team playoffs, the revenue from the games themselves, plus the boon to local economies because the games would likely be played on home turfs (some would obviously be bowl matchups).

Like i said in my original post (before I got boondoggled, lol) I dont feel "morally" great about selling them for such a premium, but I can get that much, I did speed a LOT of time getting them (thus the "procurement fee") and I have to eat too!

Some people make a good living selling tickets for premiums, I'm not one of those people, I just happen to have been lucky this time.

Yeah college football is big business and if we want to do business on E-Bay to be scalped for tickets, we ALL know how to get there. You got no b'ness here, move on frog !
