There will be tickets at the stadium. Lot of them were available for UK game


Absolutely the best way to buy tix. It can be a little risky depending on how many tickets you want and the game. We walked up for the Arky and had 2 given to us right behind the Arky bench. We offered to pay the guy....no dice.

Not tickets.. Ticket. Singles are $22 at the very top of the Pmac in the corner or behind the goals.


So what you're saying is, you just don't want to pay a premium price for a premium seat. Gotcha.

Whatever. It's sad that you play the Capitalism Card to defend a bunch of creeps. Stubhub has a lot of problems.

There has been cases with Stubhub where the seller retains the rights to sell the tickets for a higher price and renege on the deal. The Kobe Bryant Final Home Game example is a prime case.

I can see the same thing happening for LSU. Suppose that you buy the Texas A&M ticket on Stubhub for slightly over face value in August, and then LSU is undefeated and aTm is in the top 5 in November. The ticket prices skyrocket, and the seller decides he will make enough money on a new sale to pay the 20 percent fee to back out of the deal. Is it right to tell the guy that the ticket he bought for $150 is no longer his unless he wants to pay $1500 to get it back?

I have enjoyed my 60" screen for two seasons now after letting go of my football and basketball season tickets. Best seat in the house and it has paid for itself.

If I want to go in person, I can find tickets around the stadium or PMAC.

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing like the "live" experience of the game, and I did it for years. As I have aged into my 60's, it just doesn't hold the same magic for me anymore. That said, nothing wrong for those who want to spend the money (sometimes money they don't really have for entertainment) for season tickets and parking. In my younger years, there was nothing like being there.

I think it's a good thing for buyers and sellers. A centralized marketplace will lead to more sales volume at a "true price".


Good thing for buyers??? True Price??? Are you serious??? I used to be able to take my two boys in the grandstand for a non-conference game (3 tickets) for roughly $50. Now for sec 218 for the Cincy series next weekend it cost $90 a ticket!!! That would be almost $400 for the three of us. You'd be hard pressed to convince anyone that $90 a ticket is a "True Price" for this series!!!
