well, my father and i found some tickets. long story short, there was a problem the first time winning an ebay auction. the seller changed the forms of payment on us. the auction listing stated that paypal was preferred, which is how my father wanted to pay anyway. after winning the auction, the seller then declined the paypal payment and asked for a money order to be exchanged in person. he was also calling from atlanta and wanted my father to perform the exchange with someone he knew in columbus. on top of that, he had another address in philly. my father denied his requests. then, the guy asked my father where he worked and how much he makes!!! my father got sick to his stomach and contacted paypal/ebay by email to explain the complications and lack of payment. no further interaction has taken place between this shady seller and my father.
slightly unnerved, my father then bid and won an auction for two tickets in 20c. this guy is a prosecuting attorney in celina (sp.?), which was verified by a phone number that was used and linked to his office. an email address was also supplied, and that corresponded to the gentleman's email address listed on his website. furthermore, he had a discussion about the buckeyes with my father, which possibly means he's a fan and, therefore, more likely genuine.
my father is picking up the tickets tonight. i'm having him take with himself the pictures of valid tickets, along with the quote supplied through bp about what to look for in a valid ticket.
so... thanks to all for responding to my various concerns and questions. we might have paid more than others (and less than others, too, probably), but the price is virtually irrelevant as long as i can watch the game in person with my father and in good seats. the way that i see it, when our team wins, the price we paid will seem a lot less expensive. in fact, it will feel like we grossly underpaid.
GO BUCKS!!!

Stopped by the ticket office this morning and was amazed how many students were upgrading their tickets...brokers outside buying them after the upgrade. I know it is a lot of $ if you are in college, but what a bunch of sellouts. I would consider it a gift if I paid $30 or whatever and all the sudden I could take in $500+ worth of entertainment who knows when it will come around again. Very frustrating. I paid a lot of cash for mine, but there is no way I am missing this game.

Oh, by the way, said no tickets to be released
I keep taking my chances on trying to score some to replenish my now depleted bank account

it could be that students are upgrading, selling for $400+, and planning to buy tickets around gametime for cheaper. i'm sure that most aren't, but i'd like to think that they are. i'd probably do that if i knew i could get cheaper tickets. i'd also make sure that only a buckeye fan would buy my upgraded ticket.

Right before kickoff....the antsy folks will unload. It always happens and like I said there's a glut this year. |

Any final tidbits?
Well, not that it will do any good for next week or even 50 days from now in AZ ...but it will still add to the other-all, "big picture" for the year, and give a more complete perspective of what goes down at the Ticket Office in each situation:
As I was told, at about 7:35 a.m. Saturday morning Ticket Office Officials were sent out to inform everyone in line that there were no tickets and no intentions of even selling any tickets that might be turned in (however slim a chance that may be).
As we walked over toward the Schott we saw several people walking away with chairs and sleeping bags. We got closer and saw an empty "line" along the Schott wall, the only indication that there used to be a group of hopeful, early morning Ticket buyers was the garbage left behind (lots of disposable coffee cups & McDonalds bags...even a couple beer cans ). Man, I feel sorry for those who braved the late night and early, early morning cold to only be turned away. (the sheriff even told me that he broke up the "party", telling everyone that they would be arrested for trespassing if they didn't move along).
I had a brother check back periodically to see if any tickets at all were turned back in or sold and he was told "absolutely none."
So, what about everyone else? Anyone spend the night only to be shafted by "the man"?  Did anyone find a "saintly" fan who sold an "extra" for anything near a reasonable price? Did anyone hold out until right up 'till, or even a bit after kickoff...what were tickets going for then?
Anything anyone can share will add to the helpful info we can use for next season and will be much appreciated. 
P.S.
What a win! What a great year!! GO BUCKS!!!

$400 was the cheapest I found from a seller, but I didn't really look that hard either.
