7aa row A? URGENT...

[bubbadu]

Hey fellow Buckeyes,

I was looking for tickets to OSU / Texas and just won an auction on ebay for 7aa row A?! I have never seen a letter used for a seat before and was just wondering how this is possible. I know I had 13aa row 10 last year, and always assumed this was the way they numbered the seats. If anyone can help me out that would be awesome. THANKS.

I've always had numbered rows and seats.

i think the first 5 or so rows(maybe not 5, i'm just using 5) are lettered

[bubbadu]

I hope you are right then because I just got an insane deal for 2 tickets. :P

[tedginn05]

how much was it, give a link to them

If it sounds too good to be true (especially where Tex-OSU tic are concerned), it probably is. Be Careful.

Just don't send the money by wire transfer

The rows are numbered down there, but he could have made a mistake...

You should get him to upgrade the student ticket to regular ones...it'll cost around $30 (I don't know what the exact price is this year) but you'll be sure to get in and won't have to rely on having someone's ID...you don't need to upgrade the Spouse ticket though

i have set in 5AA(right next to 7AA) and that was in 2003 and i seem to remember there being lettered rows in the very front, but i've only been to one game so my head could be messed up right now


if i was you i would call ohio state and ask for stadium management and ask them yourself

just tell me you didn't pay with Western Union

[bubbadu]

Heres the reason I think the tickets went for much less. The guy only listed them as OSU vs. Texas, instead of "Ohio State" which means less page views. I even called him up and he sounded real nice, grad student. The guy I bought my tickets from last year was super nice and didnt have any info either. He is sending a picture as we speak.

tedginn05 could be correct about the lettered rows in section AA. I have always sat in section A so don't know how section AA is.

The only problem you may have with the seats you just won is you're going to be down so low and in the corner that you're not going to have much depth perception once the team gets past the 25 yard line.

I'm still jealous. I was supposed to be there for the Texas game. I laid claim to tickets at the end of last year but the big wigs came in and pulled rank and took them. Oh well. Have fun.

[tedginn05]

i see the guy has 100% feedback, that makes me believe its real, have him take the pic of them on top on a current newspaper, that way you'll know for sure

[bubbadu]

Just got the pic. WOW looks very legit. I will edit and post in a minute. Definitly says 7AA row A. DAMN.



Looks good to me, still have no clue if row A = row 1

That feedback doesn't mean much with only three transactions - you could do that yourself to set up for something like this. What would make me feel comfy about it is that he has been around eBay with that ID since 2002.

Also, if you look at this seating diagram notice that the endzone sections (including 7aa) extend further onto the field. My guess is that the standard row numbers are 1 through n and for the extended sections you have rows 1aa, etc.

[tedginn05]

have him retake the pic but this time tell him to put it on a current newspaper or a have him write on a piece of paper "THESE TICKETS ARE REAL, TED GINN JR." and put the tickets on top of that

he could have got that pic anywhere
