I am this way as well. Bought from live scalpers most of my life. I still believe the NCAA had a crew on their payroll. No matter the Event, same 6 black dudes always had the best seats that never "existed" and had to come direct from the NCAA.

Years of buying from them and never had a problem. Even had way better seats than the Governor of a participating school. He sat about 12 rows behind me at a Championship game. Had better seats than celebrities as well.

Because they make finding g tickets easier than in the past. Plus prices drop below face value for many events as the start time nears.

face value for sec games are higher than they used to be and tier pricing makes it even higher for certain games

You could pay 100$ for 2 probably before the game, maybe free if you wait long enough. Just walk up and down north stadium dr and look for a LSU fan holding up tickets or put 2 fingers in air.

Hard tickets dont mean anything anymore. I bought 2 tix to a random LSU vs Ole Miss bball game a few years back from the Ticket Exchange on this site. $40. The dude sold hard tickets that were void bc he had transferred them electronically to someone else (even met him at walk ons right by campus). Figured ole baw needed the $40 much more than I did and chalked it up as a learning experience. LSU did comp us with seats a couple rows up from the voided seats, so wasnt a total loss, but they def didnt have to do that.

ETA: SilverStallion, if youre still reading this board, hope you enjoyed that $40 big stink

I was about to say, do hard tickets even exist anymore? I know the Saints have gone all electronic and you have to use the app or download them to your Apple wallet.

Part of me does kind of miss the days of going up to campus and holding your finger up. It almost was kind of a game.

I’m guessing seat geek, stub hub, etc. have all but put the old style ticket brokers you would see on campus out of business.

I do miss hard tickets. It was a great souvenir to hold onto.

ahh, those were the days. As a kid we used to patrol the stadium for cheap seats before the game. No way i am risking giving some random person hundreds of dollars for hard tix outside the stadium now a days considering they could very easily be just a piece of cardboard

Moving to electronic tickets ruined the secondary market.
Gone are the good old days of buying at the stadium.
F-ing sucks
