do you think scalpers would have 3 together?
|
If one of you is willing to sit 'alone' (has anybody ever felt alone in the Shoe?) I would strongly recommend it. Groups of four are rarer and much more expensieve. Singles are the cheapes of all and you can sometimes land a really good seat that way.

The purpose (supposedly) of the upgrade is that when you buy the tix as an employee or a student, you get them at a big discount off the full price ticket. They figure if a non-student/ non employee is going to use the tix, then they should pay the same price as a full price ticket.
|
That is correct. My tickets are third party faculty tix also and - although I wouldn't suggest they aren't already making all the money they need - it is fair. I have no argument that I am entitled to a discount the rest of the general public doesn't get.
Also, if a family member is using the tickets they can get a special ID that entitles them to use the discounted ticket. And for a pair of tickets only one person needs to have such an ID.

URGENT: 4 very cheap season tickets on sale (includes texas)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...536930921&rd=1
You can delete or get rid of this if you'd like, i spend a bunch of time on EBAY and this seems extremely rare and extremely cheap, i simply don't have the money and the auction ends in 4 hours, so figured i'd give someone else the oppertunity.

Has anybody here ever tried to:
1. wake up your wife at 6:00 am (when she works at 9:00)
2. talk to her about football
3. convince her that buying $1000 season OSU tickets is a must-do situation based on going to games and still making money on extra tickets?
Not as easy as it sounds. :P

So I sent the seller this e-mail before I venture on.
Three questions.
1. Do you take Paypal?
2. When are the tickets actually shipped, being they haven't been mailed out yet.
3. How did you get a hold of OSU football tickets, all the way in the U.K. (if you don't mind me asking)?

There's an article on the official OSU website that explains the new Faculty/Employee ticket upgrade for this season. Its a good read for anyone that has questions about the new policy.

I believe eBay's insurance only covers a very small amount (up to $500 is what my brain is telling me, but who can trust that.) | |
