Not really the same IMO. I'd rather not be a dick to a fellow tiger fan and just make back the money for face value. When I sell/give away tickets my main objective is for the tickets to be put to use and getting back most or all of face value is secondary.

I don't see how this is taking advantage of anyone. If the prices seem outrageous don't buy it.

How is this considered being a dick? What planet are you from with this type of logic? It's a voluntary transaction.

Not apples to apples, but it is a similar situation.

Understand and agree that I want them to "go to a good home". In fact, I've sold at a loss the last few years b/c I like to keep a game or 2. However, to not consider the TOTAL cost just doesn't make sense.

I know it's voluntary, I would just choose not to overcharge a fellow LSU fan. I think it's a slight dick move on a seller's part. I understand it's a two-way street and if the buyer agrees that it's his own decision.

I love how Tiger fans are complaining that people are not showing up for games but now are complaining about Tiger fans who are now selling their tickets to people who may actually want to go.

My tickets and parking pass will probably be going on the market as well if the weather forecast doesn't change by tomorrow.

I'm going to be disappointed in myself if I can't swing 2 west side chairbacks for around $75 or so, depending on how long I want to wait it out.

If I buy a Taylormade driver for 400.00 online and after shipping pay 440.00. And want to resell..with the TE logic I will sell it for 1000.00.

Doesn't make sense to who? If I sell my tickets once a year, I don't feel the need to tack on an extra 30 dollars or so for the amount of TAF fees equal to one game.

Well don't. TOTAL cost is TOTAL cost. As another poster mentioned, no one is forcing anyone to buy tickets.

If you could get $1,000 for it, i'm sure you would only ask for $200

Weather Report:

Saturdy in BR... High 59 Low 39.

60% chance of rain.

There will be tickets galore if our fair weather fans get out there to sell their wive's and children's tickets.

Tell me which tickets {to good/great games} are available for "face only", just where would I go to secure good/great lower bowl "face only" tickets ?
I'll sit back and await your answer....

I would sell you my Arkansas tickets face value because I'm going to be out of town, but you kind of seem like a dick.
