Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

but, I'd rather pay $3k for a national champ game ticket to watch Rhule's Huskers than a trip to Europe.
Everyone has their priorities.

That's a lot of schooners,runzas and green fees

I really wanted to be a pilot in the Navy, went through the process, but my vision wasn't 20/20 and back then they only accepted natural 20/20 or better and no corrective surgery was allowed.

A friend aced all the exams and the physical except he had acne that evidently was a big problem at higher elevations. The pressure on his skin was a bear to deal with and it almost kept him out of the AF. He saw some skin care specialist that had the therapy/remedy and he got in.

Myself and 2 friends went to the 2010 Final Four in Indy.  One of my friends who went could get two tickets through his Father In Law who was a donor to WVU.  He called and gave me first dibs on it.  The ticket was $250 and was good for Saturday and Monday night.  However, he didn’t know where the seats would be. He told me when his FIL got tickets through the school for the Fiesta Bowl a couple years prior they weren’t very good seats.

I declined and told him to offer the ticket to our other friend and I’d find my own seat.  I went through Stub Hub and paid over $700 for a ticket (also good for both nights) in the 4th deck of the 6 deck Lucas Oil.  It was a center court ticket, which I wanted.

Looking back, I can’t remember the details of why it was a mystery where his FIL’s tickets would be but they weren’t going to know until they picked them up at will call the day of the game.  Anyway, we get to the stadium and they get their tickets. After tearing them open we immediately go find a seating chart and realize they are about 12 rows behind WVU’s bench.  They go nuts and I immediately feel sick I paid $450 more to sit in the 4th deck.

Of course, WVU lost to Duke and before the game was even over two Duke fans offered them $500 apiece for their tickets.  Meanwhile, I’m trying to sell my Monday night ticket but no one wants it because it’s a single ticket and it isn’t lower level.

I finally beg a scalper to just give me $50 so I can leave and he finally does but seems annoyed to be doing so.  As he’s giving me the money he says “I’ll never be able to sell this.”  I’m sure he made a nice profit, though.

Not my best night.

Ed Zachery!

2016 I got game 7 for $550 a seat. Took my wife and my parents, even though the outcome wasn’t ideal, the experience is still unforgettable. I was also at game 1 and 6. Budget was a little different with 1 newborn Vs 3 kids.

My son was there. His only fault (other than being too heavy) is that he's a damn Kubbs fan.

2005 series was my favorite, as a Sox fan.

My interest in baseball has waned.

Mine too. My family was very lower middle class growing up and the only place my parents spent money was taking us to the ballpark.. no vacations, but we saw 7-8 games a year. Baseball has ruined itself. Ticket prices in the 2000's started becoming stupid. Over the last decade, they don't give a damn about true baseball fans, they only care about it being a place people want to hangout. What cleveland has done to their stadium is perfect proof of that. They've removed thousands upon thousands of seats on the second level so they can build open air, bar hang out areas for people to just congregate. And guess who foots the $450 million bill.. you got it.. tax payers in Cuyahoga county. And left behind, is the diehard baseball fan that's on a budget.  It's not that i can't afford to go and take my kids, I'm just simply not going to pay $200 in tickets and parking and another $50 on food to sit in the nosebleeds and see a garbage product and outside of a few teams, it his become a garbage product.
