anyone else buying BCS tickets on TicketReserve

Dr.Pepper · Nov 16, 2007

I've had a great time getting ticket rights for my favorite teams. Obviously I took a huge blow with Oregon's falling out last night, but I've got Oklahoma/Mizzu ticket rights to the BCS/ National Championship games.

How that Oregon is out, I don't feel the pressure.

Who else is using this site with me? Last night was crazy. An incredible number of transactions.

For those who don't know what it is, just read their FAQ. Ticketreserve.com . I believe they are affiliated with CBS.

Mods, if this is a post in the wrong forum, sorry - please move to correct one.

If WVU goes to the BCS championship or the Orange, or Sugar I will be using them for tickets

Have you already bought your reserves? WVU ones are still at a pretty good price. But they went up last night big time. My friend is convinced they will make N.C. That would be a great way to see them if you have a few of the fanforwards for them. I was tempted early on.

WVU, if you dont have them now -- you got to do it before they blow up. Otherwise you might have to pay a lot more.

If Kansas state can pull off the upset tomorrow then I will reserve mine. If WV is in the championship game I will be more than willing to pay a premium.

I thought I would just update the before and after today. I know some games are already going on, but here are the current prices for the contenders.

All the following are the costs for the rights to purchase national championship tickets at face value should the following team(s) make the game.

LSU - $333 (Will probably remain steady)
Kansas - $78
Oklahoma - $126
Missouri - $32 (Great value, initial cost still -- tough road)
West Virginia - $76 (Great value, initial cost still)
Ohio State - $37 (Original, initial price was $37 - all these sellers are taking a hit)

I've got rights to Oklahoma and Mizzu.

Updated prices for the national championship:

I've got 2 WVU reserves for the N.C.

LSU - $318
Kansas - $85
Mizzu - $64
WVU - $76
OSU - $67
ASu - $32

Yes. Most of the tickets are bought very early on by scalping websites and a large allotment goes to schools who then give them to season ticket holders/donors. Many corporate entities are also given big time amounts of tickets, as they sponsor the bowls and give millions.

The ability to grab tickets, at a low-low markup, when compared to other options is a huge advantage and a great opportunity for folks who don't have the season ticket, corporate affiliation with the bowls.

I wished I jumped on that earlier.

Do you still get to choose your section? I would hate to be wearing green in a sea of Jayhawks fans!!!

BuzzRavanaugh · Nov 19, 2007

I bot 4 of Kansas-- for 32 or maybe less, i thought it was 25. About 3 weeks ago.

It is fun.

Orange Bowl would be a great game to go to. Tickets should be plentiful though if no Florida presence.

I don't believe you do. But I dont think you are sitting in either teams section. I went to the Holiday bowl 2 years ago, and we did not sit in a specific section. It was still very exciting regardless.

Basically, you get a seat and get in the door. What you do after that is up to you, but I would not expect you to be stuck in the incorrect section.

Kansas is starting to make be a believer. Not because of the team, just because of how much fun it is to watch Mangino coach. He is a Rhino on the sidelines. I can't imagine he stands that much during an entire week.

This is the best season I've ever seen. And my team is out of the N.C. picture.

Dr.Pepper · Nov 23, 2007

well, my oh my, those WVU N.C. reserves are looking mighty fine.

Dr.Pepper · Nov 23, 2007

and of course their site is getting HAMMERED, and I can't login.

bombay24 · Nov 23, 2007

I had it set up to buy 10 WVU reserves since the midway point of the 4th quarter of the LSU/Ark game. As soon as the 2 pt conversion failed all I had to do was make a click to execute. I now have 10 WVU reserves at $76 per. I also grabbed 6 lodging for gits and shiggles. Now I just have to Hope that Uconn doesn't have the game of their lives tomorrow.
