My family has a set of tickets that a set of season tickets that have practically been given to me. I have been the one who has used the tickets for the last 15+ years. Three years ago when I gave my sister the tickets to a SEC game (Tennessee)she did not use the seats. However, since this time she has married an Auburn fan and felt the need at a family gathering last Sunday to ask for the Alabama ticket. It is the only game she wants and said she can not make it to any other games. She also did it in front of my entire family who said we should find a fair way to resolve this. I am coming to the rant to find a fair way to resolve this. Any ideas? No pics..


ETA: yes, I know I am lucky and spoiled because my family always lets me use the tickets. It is just the cherry picking concept that bugs me about this.

If your sister came to you with season tickets and said, you can have these for 15 years, I just want one game.....any game I choose.....If not, no deal......


What would you choose?

In a polite way, say F off. That or charge her $500 a piece. That'd be a fair price.

Clarification is key here.

Tell her to focus her efforts on getting tickets to the Iron Bowl.

If everyone cannot agree, I would sell the tickets (they should fetch quite a premium) and donate the money to charity - everyone can watch that game together, as I believe it will be televised.

Easy.. You go to the game with your sister and leave the Auburn scumbag at home. Tell her LSU fans only.

First off disown her for marrying out of her species.

2nd tell her and her dipshit husband to frick off for trying to cherry pick games. Bitches don't appreciate football anyway.

So you're mad you've had the chance to go to every game for 15+ years and your sister asks for one game? You sound like a dick

Tell them they can have next years Auburn tickets and any other game(s) this season. If he were a Bama grad, it might be different.

Here is my question, why would your sister get to use the tickets with her husband? If she has never shown interest then she obviously is using them because he wants to. Tell her the deal is simple, she can have HER ticket to the game, but you are using the other. Ill bet she gives up on that argument real quick.

How convenient the 1 game all season she can make just happens to be what could the biggest game in TS history. She sounds like a selfish bitch. You've gone to all of the games, she's fair weather. Tell her the tickets are hers if she can name 5 starters not named Mettenberger.

you probably could have avoided this had you chipped in something for the tickets so at the very least you could claim an ownership stake

Tell her to quit being a dumb arse

What does her marrying an auburn fan have to do with Alabama? They are going to the game to root against Alabama, you're going to root FOR LSU.

She's being an idiot and her dumbass husband is to blame

Gladly give the tickets to your sister and her husband.


Then... go to the LSU ticket office and say that your tickets were lost. They will issue you new tickets and invalidate the old ones. Go to game very early and enjoy.
