2009 SEC Football Discussion Thread

tickets are averaging $1k each. plus flight, hotel, rental car, etc.

I'd love to go, but don't wanna drop $5k total on a football game. (but I know those who are!)

I'm in Tide Pride, as is the rest of my family, but I didn't have enough points to get tickets (Tide Pride cost was $200 per ticket). Tickets actually went down to about $650 but I still passed. I'm regretting my decision....

yeah... I've seen some end zone and corner seats on craigslist recently for $600 bucks.

I'm betting a bunch of tide pride folks bought them because they could get them with the idea of selling them and haven't yet. D'oh!.


Did you see where Auburn played in the Capital One bowl? the whole upper deck was almost empty. I blame this on the economy somewhat as people can't spend as much, but hotels were outrageous, airlines tickets were $500 each (with 21 day advance) (even on Southwest), etc.....

seems to me they were more interested in trying to make a few bucks figuring that everyone would come. BUT THEY DIDN'T. D'oh!

If you guys got to the big show more often tickets would be easier to come buy.

You mean the Outback bowl? We watched Auburn's game from the comfort of our hotel room in Nashville. I also blame the empty upper deck on a 10 a.m. game on New Years Day. Who does that?

I am just kidding you, kind of. Congratulations with the SEC Championship and I will certainly be cheering for my fellow SEC and southern brethern....

That's very big of you! The Auburn fans that surround me are not so kind.

I meant to get that second post accomplished quickly so you knew I was kidding but you beat me. You are quick!

What else you would expect from farmers and the like. Roll Tide!
