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.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Give her the tickets. The joke is on her anyway. The game won't count if LSU wins.

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

bullshite. His sister sounds like a twat for trying to cherry pick the big game out from under him. She should pony up the bucks and buy her own damn tickets. She won't even watch the game just talk to some other skank the entire time.

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.

I don't understand this response.

Because he's had the tickets for the last 15 years, the reasonable assumption by every member of the family has pretty much been that they are his tickets.

But now, since there is a big game at LSU and his sister's husband realizes how big the game is, she asked for those tickets, and in such a way that would put him on the spot.

I wouldn't give her the tickets. She's trying to manipulate the situation because she knows she shouldn't get them.

Best answer by far. Spend quality time with your sis, look like the best bro in the world to your parents, piss off the POS auburn fan that wants to live variously through your team because his sucks.

I agree 100% and probably what I will do. Thanks.

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.

Sounds like they aren't exactly his tickets to begin with. If they are the family's tickets and she can't go to any games except one it shouldn't matter which one she can attend. Give her the tickets, she is your sister. Going with her is the best option.
