Go to New Orleans, enjoy the atmosphere and find a bar with a nice large HDTV. To hell with being in the stadium. That does not interest me anymore.
This is what my brother, sister in law, and several other friends and I are doing. My brother and sister in law live on the North Shore and we have several college friends coming down. We're renting a van with driver and going downtown late that morning, eating somewhere nice, and then watching the game at an Alabama alumni watch party. I'll get by only spending about $250 while being able to soak up the atmosphere and not have the hassle of overspending for a ticket.
I have an Alabama relative coming to the game that can afford to pay some of the ridiculous prices that tickets are going for but he won't pay that much for a ticket on principle. Says he can't in good conscience spend over $1,000 for a ticket and doesn't care that it's a ticket to a national championship game.

there are a limited number of tickets and a lot more people who want them at face value than there are tickets
whatever the fair price should be it is obviously more than the face value they were originally sold for
Yes, they are bought up by ticket brokers who inflate prices because a certain aspect of society has the financial means or connections to purchase them. These ticket brokers are as crooked as it gets.
Are there not laws against scalping tickets?? This is legalized scalping. No one is saying it's a constitutional right to be able to buy tickets, but there is price regulation in our country on certain items and I feel sporting events should fall under this umbrella. There should be a fair market value established. When tickets to a SPORTING EVENT that last two hours are going for $2000 in the nosebleeds, there is something fundamentally wrong with that...sorry.
