Jefferson, if they can cover up mass events of global pedophelia, they can certainly find a way to manipulate the supply/demand component of scalped tickets.

I'm wondering why I'm still working when I could just buy 500 tickets to a big game at face value and then sell them for $2000 each.

Thank goodness ND released 9000 tickets and not 8500 - or the prices maybe $5K a piece.

That's how it works dumbassess..:

My dear Lord.

What I'm assuming has happened here is the rumor mill has chewed up and spit out info that has made its way to you and here we are. There's a guy named Jeff something that makes a living by buying and selling tickets to all sorts of events and he's based in GA. Few of my buddies bought ND tickets from him a few months ago, and on other message boards I've seen many others do the same. Somehow, someway...somebody heard that somehow this dude had over the course of the last few years "bought up 600 tickets" from Notre Dame and is making a killing. I assume these stories are related based on the 600 number.

There are so, SO many inaccuracies with that though that it boggles the mind.

This is one of the biggest bombshell stories in world history. Yet all you hear is crickets. Pure evil.

It explains so much too. This is why there's an anti-Christian pope running around campaigning for world government and also why they want to stop Trump and Putin.

How does one control the market by purchasing 600 out of 84,000 tickets?

I will do the math for you. That's 0.71% or less that 3/4 of one percent.

Even if only 10,000 people were interested in selling their tickets, thats 6%. Hardly enough to "control the market".

Remember Katrina? Pipeline never shut down, no supply disruption at all, zero drop in real supply. Just the fear sent gas prices through the roof and took years to recover. Supply and demand is never simple.

I have tickets, I am trying to let people who can afford them and are thinking of going be on the lookout.

This is the highest price ticket by 2 to 3 x's for a reason, not because of a 15th ranked UGA and a non-ranked Norte Dame the second week of Sept.

Clearly, you are pissed you can't go, so gtfo and troll somewhere else.

I will post a pic when I am there just to piss you off.

Hate on hater.

Uga tickets are often higher and we havent played Notre dame. Tickets for concerts in Atlanta are often higher and Notre dame isn't why. Something about Georgians.

Notre Dame home schedule:

Temple
Georgia
Miami (OH)
USC
NC State
Wake Forest
Navy

Georgia and USC are the only ones that move the needle (even though NC State should be really good), and USC is in town every other year.

The Georgia game is their marquee home game this year. You know why tickets are so expensive? Because people will buy them.

The ridiculous price is what we are talking about.

No other ticket is this high. Alabama vs FSU which is a chick fil a classic vs 1 & 3 the first weekend and it costs less.

I explained my point of this thread previously. I am talking to people thinking of going.

I don't care who can't go. I don't care about your supply and demand hypothesis.

Uga and Notre dame always have the most expensive tickets. Now combine those 2 fan bases and you have the most expensive game. There is no master of puppet making this happen.

Most of the oil rigs in the Gulf were shut down for at least a week because all workers were evacuated.

Those rigs account for less than 1% of global oil supply, but prices shot up globally.

You are proving my point!

You can't compare that to this situation for quite a few reasons, but the biggest reason, is one is an elastic good and the other is an inelastic good. They are treated completely different from a supply and demand perspective. Now add in a defined supply and that 600 would not effect the cost that much, as people have other options (watch on tv, bar, go to the movies etc) for entertainment.

First off, if you know anything about college football and ND specifically, no one person bought up 600 of these tickets from the ND alumni.


He said ND Alumni Association not ND Alumni.

As to this point, bulk ticket purchase is not only possible but probable. I cite several known examples.

#1 - Certain SEC football school sold roughly 10K seats to major scalper (like T M / S H / V S / R G) before offering any seats to donors or fans in their home stadium.

#2 - NCAA routinely sells to scalpers block seats prior to donors or public for best seating at NCAA basketball events

#3 - CFP tickets have been manipulated and controlled by the scalpers from the inception of CFP games. At least SEC CCG has seats still controlled by fans who bought seats for the early CCG in Alabama.




It has been a point of contention with several AD's in the SEC for at least a decade and possibly two by now that they will have harder times selling the next generations of donors (at individual school level) if they continue to bypass some of the best seats to the professional scalpers. They also need to curb the "free" tickets to celebrities and politicians to college sports (especially as they have the money to afford said tickets and the hefty donations more than the average fan).

To me communism is when the central party says equality for all but some are more equal than others. When you give first in line status to scalpers, celebrities, and scalpers you are already at Big Brother levels in my book.

So, because ticket brokers are involved in the Final Four, and because people scalp tickets at the SECcg and college football playoff..... this means that the ND alumni association gave a "big wig" 600 tickets to the Georgia game to scalp?

Okay, dude.

As I said earlier, Notre Dame has sold out every home game going back to the 1960's. Their money funnel lottery system for getting game tickets is just about the equivalent of having a money tree growing in the backyard, or owning a mechanical money printing machine.

Giving 600 of the alumni tickets to one single "big wig" would be like chopping a giant limb off the money tree or taking a shite on top of the money printing machine. In other words, it would be idiotic and counter-productive for them. Get your head out of your arse, commie!!
