gatorclaws Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Expect to pay a whole lot. Packers might be the most wanted tickets. About $200+ for 2 cheap seats on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDawgBengal Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I know steeler fans paid $175 off the street last year, so I would say they would at least be that high for the Pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steggyD Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 This isn't your father's Bengals. Used to get ticks on the street for $20 or less. Not anymore. At least from what I hear and see online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][post="153081"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote] i got my wife and one of her friend 2 for face value for the steelers game last year. it's all in how you negotiate with those guys, basically if you come to the game in visting gear they know that you have to get in that game because this is your one and only shot to see that team all year. i always ask the scalper at 9:00 when we get to the tailgating for some tickets for my wife and if a cant get them for close to face she is just going to go home and watch the game on tv. about 12:30 they come over to me with 2 tickets in the upper deck and say $110 i tell them $90 and usually buy them for $100. anyway the key is to walk away, and make them want your business.

|RayDoggBengal| Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Wondering what tickets for the Texans game is going to go for after we win this week. 3-0 a home game to go 4-0. I can see my extra Pitt tickets buying me a few beers and hotdogs at the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a sell to a co-workers friend for nice profit but sent him ben's quote and told him no way I would sell to a Steelers fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
