I have season tickets to the Wisconsin Badgers and this weekend they are obviously playing Nebraska. The seats in my section are on stubhub going for about $375 per ticket. I am really excited about going to this game but there has to be some point where selling the tickets is the right decision. What do you think? Just go to this game since it is going to be awesome or sell them and go to a bar near the stadium and just watch while being able to drink?

I think you sell the tickets...I feel as if going to the game will make you an accomplice to rape...cause Nebraska gonna get hammered.

i love football, but i enjoy watching games on tv/at a bar as much as i like going to them.

def this. But thats just me. I totally understand people who love college football. If I had season tickets for the cardinals, and they make the world series, i dont care if my seats are going for 2 or 3k. If they get over 5k id maybe sell, but prob not

went to wisco. always found a way to sell my ticket to a random for a lot of money and then bought a ticket from a drunk girl friend who had drank to much "wasnt going to make it" for face before the game. this works very well in madison. especially at brats or kk

- if you live and die with the team --> go to the game no matter what. money comes and money goes. i've been in this situation a few times (dodger playoff games, usc-ohio state, and a couple rose bowl games) and didn't have a great financial situation, but still wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.
- if you're just a casual fan --> sell sell sell

Sell them, buy bottles, bbq, drink tons, watch game on tv. So yea just go tailgate & get really fucked up.

def sell them before MSU rapes them again, just like last yr

this. you only live once

What everyone else said

If your broke and $375 is alot to you its not really worth going to the game especially as a season ticket holder

idk about you but during my time at iowa, the bar scene and atmosphere during a game was just as awesome as being in the game itself. being able to continue drinking all you want and a party atmosphere became the way to go after going to the games for a few years. don't be afraid to try this for a big game, you won't regret it at all. if you're a die hard Badger fan then this depends on your financial situation. if you can look back the next morning (regardless of the outcome) and say you made the right decision then that's what matters. enjoy the weekend regardless. i personally think the game itself has rape written all over it and I know Wisconsin ain't hesitant to run up the score on anybody.

nowhere near as much fun as the Capital One Bowl

If I wanted to see fat white guys I'd go to a club.

Cash > experience

I agree with these guys...but mainly just for football. I'm not a huge fan of not being able to see what's going on...no matter how loud or raucous the stadium is.

Face value is $49 I think and I definitely wouldn't pay over double. But that said I don't think my tipping point is $100 because since I do have them I value them more. I Probably doesn't make sense, but even though I wouldn't pay over $100 my point of pretty much having to sell is probably closer to $500. But the only ones willing to even get close to that are Nebraska fans at this point and I don't really want to put more Nebraska fans in there.

Meh, I will probably just keep them, but I was going to buy an XBOX with extra money since wife won't let me buy one....

Whatever number that is, that number +1 dollar is the number you should sell them.
