Curious where everyone elses pucker factor is when it comes to price. At what point is the money more worth it than the game?

(BTW 800 for SECCG is f'n nuts)

$750, but it was to witness something I thought I would never see in my lifetime. Flame away

I bought my ticket to the 2009-10 NC game in pasadena minutes after the SECCG concluded and spent 1000 on the ticket from stub hub. Rediculous, i know, but i was on the 9th row

$65 at Georgia this year. I've always had student tickets or been able to get tickets from people while I've been growing up.

I got kicked out at Georgia in the first quarter for smoking a cigarette on the ramp though, but we were winning 10-0 when I left

Most I've ever spent is about $80. I would probably go up to $150 if i really wanted to go to a game though.

$200 Bammer/LSU this year. I know I could've paid less closer to kickoff but I'd rather tailgate and not worry about tix. Knowing outcome would pay it again. That was 4 hours of an incredible football environment. And yes, I know gumps, the score was 21-17.

The LSU Oregon game wa pretty expensive. I don't remember the ticket costs but they were great seats. Wife got em for me and you know how women downplay prices.



The traveling is what's really expensive. It's different when you go with a bunch of college guys who are willin to "rough it" than going with a woman and getting suits and shite.

I had an extra ticket to Penn State in 2010 that I sold for $225. If people want to pay that much, who am I to stop them.

The most I paid was $60 for the game on Saturday.

About 7,000 for 2 to the Superbowl last year, but they were for a big customer so I got a nice tax deduction.

Granted it is not football but it shows how crazy UK basketball fans are. In 1978 a guy paid 2 grand and the keys to his Caddy for 2 seats at the old CheckerDome in St. Louis to see the Cats win the NCAA title. Not sure what that translates to in 2012 dollars but I am guessing a large sum.

Mizzou folks on here may have a clip when they blew the place up about 15 years ago.
