Have any of you ever been to the BCS Championship Game?

I went in 2001 when My skers got their shit rocked against Miami. Paid $75 for mine . But got them for face value through the University. Are you an OU season ticket holder? Im guessing not?

No, i'm not an OU season ticket holder...there is a waiting list and we have to wait for people to die before we can get them.

the OU tickets office said they have already stopped taking requests for tickets, their allotment is gone already if they go

It isn't like the old days anymore. Went to Florida/Nebraska in the 96 (Fiesta) and people were giving away tickets outside, yes giving them away. Went to Florida/FSU in 1997 (Sugar) and paid face value outside. Used to go to the Orange Bowl every year and tickets were always easy, even when it was for the national championship.

All that has changed with Stubhub, Ebay and a general loosening of scalping laws. Tickets are a fucking fortune now because everyone is a scalper. Went to Florida/OSU 2 years ago and paid a thousand fucking dollars per ticket. The price almost never went down. I know people that did ok but they bought singles and they had to sweat it out. Also you gotta worry about fakes.

Not sure how much the "weak" economy will affect prices this year.

Good Luck. Hopefully I will be in the market for tickets since I am big Florida fan and the game is in my backyard.

I am going this year and would like to know everyone's thoughts on the ticket situation. Right now they are $800 and up on all the sites and fleabay. If any of you have had an experience with buying tickets from scalpers outside the stadium, were you able to get tickets cheaper than what was available online? Any insight would be appreciated as I would much rather spend around $500 than $1000.

Way to jinx the sooners Will...
