I'll sell my bama tickets for "face" when I get "face" for my Western Carolina or University Southern Alabama tickets.

Oh how the high and mighty refuse buy "scalped" tickets but they will be the first to set the price for 10 bucks for the shitty non conference games.

I guess in some cases it might be worth it for some, but I don't care to do it. If I end up with extra tickets, I give them to friends or family, especially those with kids.

I see these guys on the exchange trying to make $9 on a baseball or basketball ticket and I can't help but laugh.

I typically sell tickets around face value to Tiger fans. I'm not trying to make a living on selling tickets and I'd rather Tiger fans be at a venue than neutral or opposing fans. Doesn't mean the way I did it is right, just the way I do it.

Why do people buy tickets from LSU that they know they will not be using? I've wondered why that is such a popular thing.

I won't scalp to a friend but stubhub is easy and the market drives the price.

Yes and no, I'd never scalp to a friend if I did I'm not his friend. Shoot if I'm flush I'll just give them to my friend. But nothing wrong with scalping

I agree with the op. I bought my house for 250k, and even though the market now says it is worth 400k, no way I will scalp the buyers


Are you people serious with this shite? The market drives the price of goods. If you can afford the tickets, great. If you can't and someone is willing to pay more, great

A lot did. That's why at least 60% of the stadium was Crimson. We had plenty of sellouts from our season ticket holders

Is the term 'scalping' racist? What could you substitute it with?

If I leave at halftime like I always do, can you sell to me for half of face?
