Heading to the big city for a long weekend. My friends in New Jersey suggested I just go down to the stadium and wait until the game kicks off, then get some from a scalper trying to unload them. I'm looking to pay about $300 total for 3 tickets.
All the usual stubhub and craigslist type websites are way too expensive, most starting out about $265/ea.
Has anyone had recent success at a Giants home game with the scalper-10-mins-after-kickoff method?
***12/19 UPDATE***Getting tickets outside the Meadowlands couldn't have been easier. There were at least 4 guys with handfuls right on the sidewalk where the bus from NYC dropped off. I got 2 on the 25 yard line, 43 rows up from the field on the lower level, $120 each. I missed the first three plays of the game walking into the stadium, but we were in our seats for 4th down of the first drive.
*One hilarious side note. A guy from craigslist called me Saturday morning and claimed to have great LL seats for $125/ea, and sent one of his "employees" to meet me in a hotel lobby. The guy that showed up was this huge black thug who had prison tattoos on his hands. His tickets were fake as hell, just hilarious scan/print bullsh1t. I just told him I wasn't interested because they didn't look real, and I could tell he knew he was getting called out on his scam. Luckily I wasn't born yesterday and got excellent seats 5 minutes before I was sitting in them. Moral of story: go with scalpers, they're still making money on $70 face tickets and I was glad to pay $120/ea for 25-yard LL.
