        Well you might do better, just going by my own experience. As long as I buy late I get pretty good deals on seats a little better than those, even for big games. Always be people around though that will be willing to pay more, just got to find them.

            Al, put them up on ebay. You will get your money back plus.



            Or just send them to me as a belated birthday present. (this is my favorite idea btw)

              My brother and I are going to the game. I don't know whether it would be best to put them on ebay or sell them when I get down there. What do you think?

                you can try down there and if nothing else go in. If both teams go in undefeated the tickets will be worth more.


                Guess that means no birthday present. Dang. It was a good try though.

                  Oh, I'm going in regardless. I've been looking forward to this game for about a year. I just grabbed two extras in the hopes that it would be 1 vs. 3 and they would go for $300 to $350 apiece.

                  Happy Birthday.

                          Have you looked at Stubhub?

                          There are hundreds of tickets---for about 300-400 a pair.

                          I can get a pair on stubhub for as little as 320.

                          It is going to be a tough sell for you.

                            Yeah the prices have come down quite a bit since we found out Florida sucks. Oh well, I'm gonna have a great time at the game and will lose money on these tickets.

                                  In 2005 I went to Tuscaloosa with 2 tickets for the Florida game, on Friday afternoon at Buffalo Phils on the strip I sold both of the tickets for around $450. They were Gator section. On saturday right before the game I bought two equivalent tickets in the Bama section for about $220. If you know what you are doing and need to sell them start wheeling and dealing on Friday in Tuscaloosa. Too many people without the patience to wait until they get a good price. You have to get out there and hustle

                                    I'm just gonna put them on eBay. Not a hotel room to be found in Tuscaloosa so we have to stay in Birmingham. Won't go on campus till Saturday so I'm just going to dump them early next week.

                                          If UF spanks UK's ass this week then the tickets may jump in value. If they lose (quite possible), then they will plummet. Maybe you should hedge with a small play on UK ML

                                              IMO this is the way to go... People typically overpay for tickets early because they are afraid to show up without them...

                                                Yeah you definitly want to sell them before game day. Game day its much easier to get tickets for closer to face value because people have to get rid of them.

                                                  You have quite possible the worst seat location.
                                                  Rule #1 of tickets is to sell high and early.
                                                  95% of the time tickets always go down in value.
                                                  Profits = not being greedy, being greedy = losing money.

                                                  Tickets prices normally drop about 2 weeks out and the week of they really drop due to shipping time requirements etc.
                                                  Tickets on Stubhub can be bought for $185 plus 10% plus shipping. If you sell them it's 15% commission.
                                                  Best bet is to try Ebay or Craigslist even though it says not to sell above face value, it's all about how you word it, but people will flag your posts sometimes to get it removed.

                                                  If you break even you got lucky, otherwise just go to the game and enjoy it, just hope either team doesn't lose this week.
                                                  Next time just wait till the week of the game to buy them, even if the teams are 1 vs 3 you would be able to get tickets for the same price you paid, I guarantee it and most likely a better location.

                                                  Good Luck

                                                    It happens all the time for big games and Rivalry games especially for good seats.
                                                    You don't realize how much it costs in donations these days to get decent season tickets for teams, it's insane, makes the NFL look like high school costs.

                                                    Aug 10th article:

                                                    Prices for college football games are up dramatically since last year, according to ticket search engine FanSnap.com, with Ohio State again in the top spot at an average of $523.67 for home games, up from $319 last season. The Buckeyes' home schedule includes the Miami Hurricanes -- who they topped in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl to win the national title.
                                                    Six teams from the SEC, including Florida, are ranked in the top 10, according to FanSnap's Top 25 College FanDemand Rankings. National Champion Alabama has the second highest ticket at $504 up from $204.70 last year. Spots five through nine are held by SEC teams: Georgia is fifth ($369.40); Florida is sixth ($338.50); Auburn is seventh ($292.33); LSU is eighth ($284.20) and Tennessee is ninth ($222.11).

                                                    Just for shits and grins, avg BCS Championship price over the last few years:
                                                    The average ticket selling price for BCS National Championship Game in '09 was
                                                    half the price of the match-ups over the last two years:

                                                    o ‘10 (Alabama vs Texas) - $881
                                                    o ‘09 (Florida vs Oklahoma) - $684
                                                    o ‘08 (Ohio State-LSU) - $1362
                                                    o ‘07 (Ohio State-Florida) - $1329
                                                    o ‘06 Rose Bowl (USC-Texas) - $1175
                                                    o ‘05 Orange Bowl (USC-Oklahoma) - $412
                                                    o ‘04 Sugar Bowl (LSU-Oklahoma) - $712

                                                    That's also assuming Bama beats Arkansas which they should but you never know.

                                                      should be able to get $500 easy. just gotta find the right sucker.

                                                      back in 2005( I believe) UGA/LSU in Athens scalpers were getting $350 per ticket the day of the game.
                                                      I got mine for face value from a friend of a friend , something like $35 a piece
