Twice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to come home for the Temple game last year, and my family had a trip planned to Puerto Rico that forced me to leave State College the Thursday before the Michigan State game.  Now, rather than let those tickets go to waste, I was able to recuperate a good amount of money for those tickets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look, it&amp;#39;s inherently a not fair system: I know people who were on Ticketmaster hitting refresh at 6:55 AM who didn&amp;#39;t get tickets last year.  But as someone who couldn&amp;#39;t get to the games, that wasn&amp;#39;t my problem.  I couldn&amp;#39;t care less who got my ticket as long as I sold it, and got good money for it.  Am I supposed to care that it&amp;#39;s above &amp;quot;market value?&amp;quot;  I got 80 bucks for my MSU ticket, that was almost half the entire cost of season tickets.  That shows the dedication, willing to spend good money to see the team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for people who buy a full season ONLY to sell it?  Good riddance.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649120513069006003/8475618909734080298/comments/default/4833925291551329170'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649120513069006003/8475618909734080298/comments/default/4833925291551329170'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zombienationpsu.com/2009/06/poor-scalpers-no-more-cheating.html?showComment=1245853559500#c4833925291551329170' title=''/><author><name>Devon Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12791414325436592869</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.zombienationpsu.com/2009/06/poor-scalpers-no-more-cheating.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649120513069006003.post-8475618909734080298' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649120513069006003/posts/default/8475618909734080298' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649120513069006003.post-3516907651619450787</id><published>2009-06-24T01:27:12.720-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-24T01:27:12.720-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Ahem.

I managed to buy my season tickets when they sold out in under a minute, though I had to purchase another set off ebay because someone I knew wasn&amp;#39;t so lucky. Unfortunately I purchased them for 800 bucks off ebay. Nice to see Greg Myford finally taking the athletic department in the right direction.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649120513069006003/8475618909734080298/comments/default/3516907651619450787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649120513069006003/8475618909734080298/comments/default/3516907651619450787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zombienationpsu.com/2009/06/poor-scalpers-no-more-cheating.html?showComment=1245821232720#c3516907651619450787' title=''/><author><name>Charlie</name><uri>http://nittanywhiteout.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.zombienationpsu.com/2009/06/poor-scalpers-no-more-cheating.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649120513069006003.post-8475618909734080298' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3649120513069006003/posts/default/8475618909734080298' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
