good for you two ....how did you both get those for that price?

I had been looking pretty hard for tickets, as of last week I have pretty much "given up"...being a married guy with a young family I just can't justify spending thousands of dollars for a football ticket

We got lucky as hell. The woman that babysits my daughter has a sister in Ohio. The company she works for had a raffle for two airfares, hotel room and two tickets to the game. And she ends up winning the damn thing. Well, she's an Ohio State fan and doesn't care about the game. She just wanted the plane tix and hotel so that they could get out of Ohio for a few days. She paid a little over $1100 in taxes for the winnings, so I paid her $1200 so she didn't have to come out of pocket. However, I'm thinking seriously about offloading these things if I can get that kind of money for them.

wow....that is awesome

I know a couple of ticket brokers, plus my cousin is also personal friends with the people that run Stub-Hub. All of them predicted that the price of the BCS title game tickets were going to go down after Christmas, so I was sort of being patient expecting the prices to go down. I figured if I found a ticket for a "reasonable price" (even by the end of this week) I would drive out there....but it looks like those folks were wrong in their predictions of the prices going down
