I will be back in Ohio watching the game with my dad, we have watched every single Ohio State bowl game together since I have been alive. That being said, seeing the ticket prices and flights out there, I am tempted for a change of venue.

I just bought my tix last Sat. & flights on Sunday (as everyone on here can attest...please ask @lvbuckeye to make an in-depth post about it :lol:). Just a bit of advice FWIW tho, if you can't bring your Dad it's a 100x better watching with him from Ohio together (my Dad is financing our trip in spirit).

I guess you're the expert here on the ticket resale market. Do you think it's worth buying meh seats on the Ohio State site to resell on Stubhub for a bit of a profit? I'd feel bad about gouging someone but figure we could offset the cost of groceries if I sold them for say, $50 more each? Yesterday I looked up my approx seats in section 9 about 3-4 rows up (same side). They were posted for $300. But, I put in my request on Saturday early.

You think I could sell endzone seats in the tOSU section for $210-215 before Christmas or right after?

Thanks man. Wish I could bring him, but I can't. Thinking I will have to see Pasadena in person another day. I just want to watch the game with my pops, that is worth more to me than going to the Rose by myself.

My dad and I have watched New Years Day bowl games for over 35 years in a row now. I can't really remember when we started. I am 46 now an it has been since I was very young. Every Buckeye bowl game we watch together. Priceless.

In the early days of TV college football coverage(NBC) we got to see only 2 or 3 games a year including Bowl games. Keith Jackson was the "voice" of college football and did a great job. Curt Gowdy was big as an announcer also. President elect Nixon was at game with Ohio Gov. Rhodes.

lol, that game always kills me. The late hits, the throwing of the ball into the stands after the TD, the poor, poor passing.

It was great.

No, I'm not remotely an expert. I speculated on a couple extra Indy tickets last year through Shoowin. tOSU's spot in the championship was not decided until quite late, so there was very little time to list them. They didn't move until, IIRC, the Thursday before the game. I did make my money back and paid for my own front row ticket. I would have made a fair profit if I'd sold all of them and stayed home and watched on TV. Definitely did not finance the entire trip.

Some people apparently do make nice money selling tickets. Some people do OK at the track, too. It's a crap shoot, and no one should play with any money they can't afford to lose. Walking to the stadium last year, I walked past guys on almost every corner hawking game tickets. No idea if they were even real tickets, but I didn't miss being one of them by much.

If anyone is trying to sell tickets, I'd recommend backing up your Stubhub offer with Vividseats. Vividseats (last year, at least--you'd need to check current policy) asks for confirmation before they settle a sale, so you can get away with a double listing (in case you'd have both sites simultaneously find a buyer.) Vividseats is where my tickets sold, but only after reducing the price more than once.

"Ohio State fans - this is a song they play every game: 'Hurry Up, Sloopy!'"

edit: You've gotta love OSU's kicker, Jim Roman, with the straight-on (i.e. not soccer style) kicks.

I went to one Rose Bowl with my Dad, back in the Archie days. My Dad is gone now, but I still have that game ticket and keep it in my shaving kit so I can often be reminded of it.

Thanks for taking me to that game, Dad. Gotta stop posting now, must have something in my eye.

Well now I've got something in my eye too and I'm in public. That's really cool. My dad bought us tickets for The Game in '06 before the season ever started and the build up once we were undefeated was almost as good as the game. That was an unbeatable experience, but one day I'm returning the favor with bowl tickets once I'm able to.

Edit: Sorry for the sentimental non-related post. Let's beat the damn Huskies.

We need to get back to a winning record in the Rose Bowl (currently 7-7 all-time). After losing our first Rose Bowl in 1921, we won four straight to go to 4-1 at the Rose Bowl (the last of those four was the 1969 win over USC for the 1968 national title). But then we lost six of the next seven Rose Bowls in which we played, before winning the last two to get back to .500:

L 1921 Cal
W 1950 Cal
W 1955 USC
W 1958 Oregon
W 1969 USC
L 1971 Stanford
L 1973 USC
W 1974 USC
L 1975 USC
L 1976 UCLA
L 1980 USC
L 1985 USC
W 1997 ASU
W 2010 Oregon
