Cotton is always up towards the top. It usually has a good match up. This year....it will be a good one I think. I wouldn't mind getting tickets to it.

Surprised where the BBVA Compass (Formerly Papa Johns) bowl is on that list.

I am not paying that for a football ticket along with the money for a plane ticket and hotel, and food and tourist attractions.


Hell no.


My arse watching a TV will be just fine.

I didn't pay the average for the Gator Bowl but then my seats are in the West upper. I just want to be on the inside and am not willing to pay ridiculous sums to get close.

I don't know about this one. Forbes is going by the asking price for fansnap.com, not the actual market value of the tickets. I have 6 to this game and tickets in my section are averaging about $50 per. I think face value is $175 each (or something close to that).

I think the fact that Bama was in the Rose Bowl may have made it more special but it's an experience I'll never forget.

Auburn hasn't won a national championship in almost 50 years. If Auburn were to go 50 more years there's a good chance most of us will be 6 feet under.

It's an experience of a lifetime. It's not going to cost you 1000$ to get in the game.

If you have to take out a loan, I would do it. Mainly because it may never happen again and you would be kicking yourself if you didn't go.

My costs so far for me and the wifey:

Plane tickets: $1100
Condo: $300
MNC Tix: Either $800 or $1800 depending on if my hookup comes through.

$2200 or $3200


Still gotta get a rental car and spending money. Figure I'm anywhere between 3 and 4. Gonna be worth every penny.
