Gonna be a great game and has the potential to be a special night in tiger stadium, so what gives? Obviously money is root of all things. But seriously why wouldn't you wanna attend this game? I understand things come up and all but ticket holders there is a long line of passionate fans that are waiting to be season ticket holders as well that would love to pack Tiger Stadium especially against Alabama to cheer our Tigers to victory!

Posted this on the TE board but of course they wouldn't give me a straight forward answer.

I'm confused too. It's ridiculous how many tickets are for sale.

Yeah I don't understand why you'd sell Bama unless you get someone who is just throwing gobs and gobs of cash at you. I mean games like this are the reason are for having tickets.

Sellers are scared LSU will lose and are out to make a quick buck. They should have sold a month ago before we lost to UF, though. Prices have dropped a good bit.

I agree I'd have to get a ridiculous offer. But even then I'd probably decline. Too passionate of a fan.

honestly, there are only a couple of seats around me that are occupied week after week by the same folks...a hell of a lot of the tickets in the stadium change hands every week...for some games, they are given away, others they are sold...this game's tickets are worth quite a bit, so they are being advertised for sale...

I don't understand either. I bought a student section one from a friend ($300 - fair price??). I know that you might be strapped for cash, but really? I would never sell it for $300. What is $300 in the long run? Really nothing. Going to the game otherwise, an experience hopefully that will last with you for a long long time.

Because alot of assclown fair weather fans would rather make an extra buck than show up and support our team win or lose.

Stadium Club seats are going for as low as $895 on Stub hub... that's pretty unbelievable for this game.

Well lets get some season ticket holders that are passionate and wouldn't rather be anywhere other than Tiger Stadium on Saturday cheering the Tigers on!

Most of those tickets are on sale with just some wishful thinking of getting a huge pay day. If it doesn't sell for the high price, then they'll just keep their ticket and go to the game. I've heard other people say, I can sell my two tickets for this one game and cove my cost of season tickets for the year.

I understand, but this is the reason you have season tickets. This is what it is all about. Saturday night, Tiger Stadium, #1 vs #6, Alabama, National Title and SEC hopes still alive. If you want to make some money and not be there and watch it on TV, you are just not a true fan IMHO.

I paid $500 per for 3 tickets in 423.

What quarter should I leave to beat traffic?

I was joking. They're going to have to kick me out of that stadium.

These are probably the same asshats who sold their tickets to Gumps at the BCSCG. It was disgusting how badly outnumbered we were in our own backyard.

Funny thing is that these "fans" are the first ones who will bitch and complain when there are 25,000 Bama fans in the stadium next Saturday night.
