College football tickets are always so high right now on the web. Is it cheaper to try to get tickets from a scalper on game day?

I live 2 miles from TS, I've never had trouble getting tickets and I've never paid more than face on game day.

I used to have season tickets, but it's cheaper for me to buy off scalpers.

Trick: the closer to the stadium, and the closer to kickoff, the cheaper the tickets. Occasionally I've missed pregame or kick off, but oh well.

I got tickets to the 2003 Georgia after the kickoff. went back to the same person twice after kickoff and was trying to stay firm at $150 a ticket. I bought them at face, called me a cheap frick and stormed off.

Same here. I bet I've save a few thousand since I gave up my season tickets in 2006. I've had 2 games that I paid above face in 5 years. Patience is the key.
