I still hate ND.
Even though most of them really are nice people.

I love...
that there are people successful enough to contemplate such decisions, but GD that's a big price to pay for lower prices on student bowl tickets.
Good for them, though, they'll need every advantage they can get.
Go Blue!
honestly if I were
a student and would buy one or two and sell them. With ND and Alabama this should be a high demand game.

Forget poverty or cancer research... You know who really needs help are those notre dame students who can afford 50k a year to go to school but definitely not 100 for a football tick (and I say this bc I'm jealous. It is pretty cool)
Not much different than Michigan.
60k a year, out of state, at least.

I havent looked in a while
but in 1995 it was about 35k. Sigh

My step dad is an alum and said someone offered him tickets for $10k.. Out of control.

Stubhub
I wonder if the students will pass the savings on to whomever they sell the tickets to on Stubhub.
On the money
I think you are right on the money. The students at ND are not MSU-like. They do have brains. If I was there and I saw how much money these tickets are going for (Thousands), I think I would try to get one for myself and gobble up as many as I could to resell them. You could literally make 10k off of this game, if you had access to $150 tickets. There are two sides, obviously. ND will likely never make it back to the National Championship, so going to the game might be a once in a lifetime experience. Buying one ticket and selling how ever many you can get your hands on, would easily pay for the trip and give you put some extra cash to put on bama...
Conspiracy of the day
Too bad you can't.
Students can't resell the tickets. You only get one ticket, it's tailor made for your ID, and you have to pick it up with ID in hand at the Stadium directly before the game.
But how can they?
The tickets must be redeemed by the student at the bowl site and are non-transferable.

Such a joke that student
Such a joke that student ticket prices are that much. Good for this guy to shell out some cash to help offset the outrageous prices that these bowls want for tickets.
"They will meet a dastardly fate here for that! There isn't a Michigan Man who wouldn't like go out and scalp those Buckeyes right now."
Frankly...
...I think it would be better if the rich alumnus did something else with his money and students simply refused to show up in protest of the $350 ticket.
$350?! Even $150 is a pretty absurd price for student tickets. Given how much these big games make in TV money, they should literally let the 10,000 or so students in for free just as an atmosphere enhancer. Whenever they pan the crowd, who do they show? Students, not the fat cats.
First World problems.

Frankly I don't know what
Frankly I don't know what everybody's whining about, $350 is a little steep, but hell I know I would pay a grand just to see Michigan play in the National Championship.
As of today, the average ticket price appears to be >$1,700.00.
I believe the face value ot the lowest priced ticket is $350.00. As of a few minutes ago, it appears that the average price on stubhub, ebay, ticketmaster, etc., is >$1,700.00. Price has gone up after Bama's win. As far as I am concerned, it is alot of money for sitting in the so-called nosebleed sections of the stadium.
Pretty cool booster!
That was a nice gesture! Now go get your beat down Irish! The reduced price is just a bonus!
They
are probably even taking the band too!! And letting them spend the night. Imagine that.
That is very generous
Honestly, though, even though it's the Orange Bowl and not the BCS Championship game, I think NIU giving any students who will be attending a free ticket is a better deal.
That is awesome.
I like that the donor requested anonymity, too...speculations on who it could be...Regis Philbin? Mike Golic?
