where the scalpers are

Submitted by cargo on
Quick question, where is the best place to buy some tickets this saturday. My girlfriend has the day off and wants to go so I have to try and unload my ticket/ find one in my section or get two.

On Saturday they will find you, you won't need to find them. The guys on Bikes at the corners, in front of the stadium gates. On all of the paths to the stadium. It should be easy to buy..hard to sell

Selling for the DSU game will be pretty impossible I bet. You can probably get 2 tickets together for about $40-50 depending on how close to the game it is, right outside the stadium, but I wouldn't count on getting anything back for yours.

just walk around and enjoy the festivities, and someone will walk by selling tickets...i wouldnt pay more than $30 for a pair...for the IN game, my friends dad needed a ticket and just waited, while we were playing beer pong on corner of main and hill, some dude just walked by and sold him 2 tix for $10, like 30 min before the game!

Always a few right in front of the Union on State as well. There's always a decent number on Hoover for pretty much the entire stretch to the stadium too.

If you go to Main & Stadium - either in front of the gate or on the Pioneer corner - you will find dozens of scalpers. At about 30 minutes before the game most will be frustrated season ticket holders who are starting to think a ticket or two will go unused. There is way more supply than demand for a game like DSU. You can literally go up to them ask where their seats are located and pick from the litter. If someone is selling a single 30 minutes before game time I wouldn't pay more than $10 or $15 (not much more for a pair). For some of these types of games in the past people have actually given me a ticket just so it wouldn't go to waste. Stay away from anyone who looks like they are a professional scalper (lots of tix in their hands).

Based on the other comments, seems like the guys I have seen are charging more than they should. Although the 1AA nature of the game probably significantly reduces any sort of street value.

I have 2 extras and would be willing to part with them for a pint of Mr. Daniels in return. No really if you want some decent tickets, section 10 row 66 (I think don't quote me on the row, it's in the 60's). I will give them to you for free. If interested let me know... don't really want my email posted... so post back the best way to get in contact. I will be tailgating on the golf course before the game. I assume we can just meet on Saturday.
