This is my experience. Everyone likes to spout some bullsh*t about "So many hardcore fans would have bought these things" That si crap. I have put tickets everywhere. Here, Ebay, Craigslist, everywhere. There are not that many people lookign to buy tickets. When it comes down to it there are just enough people out there willing to buy tickets and when Pitt fans are willing to buy them at 200 and no Skins fan wants pay more than face then what the hell does everyone think is going to happen? This notion that there are so many suffering fans just unable to find a way to get tickets is crap. There are a million ways to get tickets so when 30,000 Pitt fans show up it isn't because sellout ticket holders sold them tickets it is because sellout fans were too cheap to buy them instead.
