It is my understanding that "scalped" means over face value. In which case, I dont think you have to worry about scalped tickets, they should be available under face value. If you feel like it, just go to the game a little early and look for someone on the street who needs to get rid of some tickets, not someone trying to flip tickets for money. My guess would be that you can get a pair for $60.

a random street corner dude yelling out "I got four", he'll quote you 20-30 over face, but if you offer him face and you're less than 20 minutes before kick off, he'll give it to you every time. Sometimes you can get them less than face.

I was going for this route since my parents are using our (my???) tickets this weekend, but I received  the most wonderful call just before I left work.  A couple I know had to bow out of this weekends game and wanted to know if I would like her tickets of course I said yes! What and end to the day.

for $50. I think you should be able to wait, and get them off a random fan (rather than a pro scalper) for basically anything. $20 for a pair maybe is better for the guy who just wants to get into the game and get what he can for the otherwise useless tickets.

Last year I was stuck trying to sell my dad's two seats (40 yard line, row 50ish) while trying to make it for kickoff.  I wanted to sell them for face, but some guy offered me $50 for the pair and I said "Sure, screw it, I want to go watch the game."

 

Moral of the story: wait until right before kickoff and get them for cheap.

 

EDIT: This was for the Purdue game, not OSU, but still, $25 a piece for those seats isn't bad.

I have two extra tickets for the game. I am STILL trying to take some friends, but nobody is taking me up so far... I think they are in the corner of the endzone about 50 rows up. I need to double check the exact spot their in.  Repy to this if interested, and by tonight I will stop calling people and just drive up there myself.
