Stubhub is so expensive because they kill the seller on prices. Just sold a concert ticket where the buyer paid 105 and I get 76 bucks out of it. That's the reason you only see 200+ tickets there

Nah.

Whats it like $500 minimum donation for the cheap seats, plus the face value, say avg 55 x 7 ish home games.

Lets say there are 4 that are actual good exciting games. Those are really what you are buying the season for.

Breaks down to about $220 per ticket, for a cheap seat, cost to seller.

If you as a buyer get it for $150, thats a pretty good deal, all things considered.

Haha no...I had a concert out of town the night before the Clemson game that I decided to blow off when I got an offer for Clemson tickets at a reasonable price.

the donation has nothing to do with the market value of the game. Could be more, could be less

That posting has been put up at least three times that I count. I doubt it's legit.

His point was that you can forgo paying the donation and full season package and pick the "good games" at market price each season and end up paying less

Hell yes, I was planning that until the DD backed out. If you have the patience, wait until after you hear the Gooooooooo Dawgs, Sic em woof woof of the kickoff and walk up to a scalper and name your price. Did that for an Auburn game some years back. Gotta have patience and forgo the kickoff.

Tell your wife to put on something cute and stand on the bridge right before kick-off. You should be able to get tickets for a reasonable price.

That will work...but this is a better plan, one that I have used numerous times...


Find yourself a little girl...preferably one you are kin to, say a niece or cousin, but at any rate get one that is about 5 years old and blonde...you know, insufferably cute. Dress her (or, if your squeamish or afraid of molestation charges have someone else do it) in some sort of UGA cheerleader outfit....there are many manifestations of this and you can get them at a thrift store for little or nothing when the Honey Boo Boo they were bought for outgrows them. Have her hair done up and put a UGA tatoo on her cheek (one of the temporary ones unless it is your kid or you real close to the Mama). Now, here is the part where most people balk...take that kid to the book store / bridge area and pinch her...HARD...as soon as the little red clad darling starts up with the catawallowing produce your sign asking for tickets and explain that your little girl is nearly sick with heartache over you having lost your tickets to the game and you fear the resulting trauma will send her into all sorts of vile behavior like drug abuse, prostitution, and possibly falling in love with a Gator fan if she doesn't get in the game. Someone will take pity on the two of you and give you some tickets. As soon as you get tiekctes (and it wont take long) return the kid to her Mama (who the hell wants a little girl hanging out with them when they are consuming mass quantities of alcohol and talking up coeds).

If your worried that the tickets you get will be claose to the people who have them originally, resulting in all sorts of nosy questions about the presence of the busty waffle house waitress you picked up in the parking lot instead of the cute little girl you have a couple of choices...I find that drunken, abusive language usually quells any sort of enquiry into the whereabouts of the little girl, or you can simply find someone and swap tickets.

If you want in the game bad enough there is always a way....

since you need just one ticket you will be ok at game time. find a sclaper, walk with him to the gate, have the ticket scanned there.

do not buy a ticket far away from the stadium - you'll get burned and the scalper will be long gone.

last, since you need just one ticket, there should be several season-ticket-holders trying to unload a spare for less that what a scalper will charge - still pre-scan it at the gate

I need 4 for UGA - Vandy. Is there a UGA ticket exchange or do I just post on the general SEC ticket forum and hope someone sees it?

Newbie question
