Any season ticket holder

saintswhodi · 08-30-2007, 11:05 AM

I've got my eye on a couple of e-bay auctions, but yeah ticket prices are off the chain. Same with the Houston game, which is another one I am intent on going to. Good looking out Venturi, let me know if you hear anything, and anyone else who hears something on this game. I may have to just roll in town and take my chances on a scalper.

Why not just go to the Saints ticket exchange site? If you dont mind upper deck, you can find something reasonable. With a scalper, you don't even know if you're buying valid tickets.

yep that is so true
I got burned 2 years ago and it sucked bad
There si nothing more embarrassing than standing in line…
Your friends all get in (because they bought there tickets out right)
And you are at the gate and they tell you…
“Ummm sir. This is not a valid ticket. Will you please come with us”

I can remember being mad about that for months after that day
I swore if I ever saw that guy again I would beet him to within an inch of his life
Needless to say I never saw him again

oh well...
live an learn

Several times last year I saw scalpers selling "E-tickets" on the street. How do you know he didn't make a hundred copies of one ticket? I can't believe they get buyers.

well to make a long story short
I went to meet a few friends at a local bar for a few drinks before the game. I had just went through a divorce so light drinking was not an option nor was it in my vocabulary. Anyway they were all going to the game and I wasn't some guy came in the bar overheard us talking (them ribbing on me for not getting a ticket), asked if I wanted to buy a ticket I said "Hell YEAH!!!"
the ticket looked real so I bought it
and the rest is history

not one of my finer moments if you know what I mean

As 1313 said, I can get tickets cheaper on e-bay than on ticket exchange, but I trust members of the forum more than anyone else, so I asked here first. It's just like ticket exchange here if someone wanted to sell.

No problem. I've never sold tickets on the Saints exchange so I wasn't offended. I always give my extras away ... well ... not actually give them away because I get favors in return and I can write them off.

I was just offering a suggestion.

Much appreciated. I had gone to the ticket exchange, which is basically like going to stub hub. Cheapest ticket, $105.80. And I have to buy two, when I only need one. So $211, for a seat so high up I am no longer protected by the ozone layer. I am gonna do a little more digging, but thanks.

They fixed the SuperDome's roof so you don't have to worry about the ozone layer. I've never checked but I wonder if the prices go down as the game gets closer.
