Tickets & Ebay

Yeah, you can overpay for ebay tickets sometimes (it is still better than those online ticket houses). I know people that like to give tickets to a game to people as gifts. It's a little tougher to say to your father, buddy, etc. "Hey, I got two tickets to the game, and I'm taking you! We simply need to find a scalper before hand and hope I get a good deal."

Anywho, I am planning on paying the $1000 booster club fee next year and get season tickets. Anybody know how good the first year tickets are? Does more money get you better tickets? I won't do $5000, but $2000 is reasonable.

More money = better seats. There is a pecking order based on points. Points are calculated 3%* Current Gift + 2% * Past gifts = total points.

Hmm, but after reading that...if I give $2500 I am seated before people giving $1000. Thanks for the info.

Still wondering where a typical $1000 gift gets seats. Yet thanks for the information.

Also, season tickets look like a great deal over individual tickets. Does this mean you get a season pass that has all the tickets on one ticket? I would more than likely give a few tickets out to people, and it's much easier if there are tickets for each game. Do they do like the students and have all the games on one ticket for a season pass? Makes sense, but I want to make sure.

BTW...I knew about the deadline. I was thinking about 2006. Thanks though.

I must say after reading through the tax deductions, benefits, etc. Biggie was right! "Mo money, mo problems!"

I purchased tickets on eBay for two seperate games from different sellers and there was absolutely no problems and not much over face value. However, the seller also insured them and Fedexed them to me. Just my two cents. But if I am coming from a ways away I would much rather have tix in hand before I got to the game. Besides I love watching the team come out and the Ramp Entrance from the band.

I have been lucky enough to be able to go to the last two OSU vs Meatchicken games at home. Now I am hearing that If you buy tickets, you must show a student ID, or an Alum ID. Can anyone shed some light on this matter? I wouldn't want to get tickets, and find out I can't get into a game at the gate......

Typical Scarlet & Gray level seats ($1,000 gift) are north endzone. 3A, 5A, 2A, 4A
President's Club ($2,500) gets you Back of Endzone to Ten yard line. 8A to 16A.
There is still a seniority ranking based on # of years you have been donating to the Buckeye Club.

My Scarlet & Gray seats are 3A row 25, good seats but not great.

Also, you recieve individual tickets for each game, not a pass. You can give or sell tickets as you wish.

I know for student tickets they sometimes check your ID. I think we got checked all but one game last year. That being said. For $20.00 per ticket, students can change their tickets to regular admission and then no ID is necessary. They also let me take whomever I wanted in on my spouses ticket without changing it to regular admission.

Actually if you think about it, when they go to 12 games next year (with 7-8 being at home) the presidents club is a good route to go. If you get a pair to each game for a 1000 donation it would break down quite well.

For a 7 home game season, it would equal out to be around $72 a ticket.

For a 8 home game season, it would equal out to be around $63 a ticket.

edit: oops...actually I didn't see that you still had to purchase the tickets. So add face value to the prices I mentioned above. :(

I bought UT @ OSU tix for $250 / ticket third row. I probably wouldn't sell them for anything less than $10,000 a piece. 1. I really want to see this game. 2. It would have to be such a high number that nobody would be willing to pay it and prevent me from going.

I've had people give me tickets for free before games before. I've also bought tickets on the 50 yard line about 30 rows up for 60 for a pair. These were for Big Ten games, not PSU or Michigan, but Illinois and MSU quite a few years back. I made sure to buy them from people that weren't scalpers but instead people that look like Alumni. I sat in the Club seats during the 2002 Kent State game for $40 a piece. They were great seats and we got to use the A/C area cuz it was sooo hot. I bought them from some really old alumni who had extras. Just go to a game, hold your finger or fingers in the air for how many you want, and look for people who aren't scalpers.

It's been a few years since I have been at a game, but aren't these areas right there with the visitors?

Yes, The visitors section is now from 8AA / lower 8A to 12AA / lower 12A
(and west side south stands) My parents have Pres. club seats in 16AA and the opposing fans are nice and close so I can yell at them!!!

There may be Pres. Club seats located elsewhere. I know of these from experience only. I am not privvy to Ticket Dept. inner workings.

I don't understand how you can buy tickets on ebay and know where your seat is going to be. I know that I will have season tickets coming about 2 weeks or so before the first game but I don't know where they will be located other than they will be in the general area that I requested.
People on ebay are stating section, row, and seat number.
Also I don't think I would like to pay for tickets now and not have them in hand until 2 weeks before the game.
There has to be a better way to buy of sell tickets.
