If it's not close to the truth, it's probably not going to be a very funny joke. The best jokes are ones that have a hint of truth.

:-) To each his own though.

Why are you so contrary? Obviously, he is referencing how Solomon has bashed UAB for having such a poor product that it can barely give its tickets away. Now, here's an SEC school doing something similar. So maybe UAB is more normal that than some of the crimson media will give credit for.

The university is not giving tickets away. Brokers who buy season tickets to make huge profits off SEC games are the ones dumping them

Irrelevant. The market value is what it is.

no reason to sit in U or V when you can buy tickets in S ( 50 yd line) and nearby in T or R, which are around the 35 yd line each.

Maybe the UAB NAS should consider a mass purchase of these $2 tickets and use them to get more UAB fans to go to the game. Maybe have a caravan of busses to go to the game with the ticket included in the price..

Does this mean that nobody is even considering that they may be purchasing invalid tickets?

Well, it seemed pretty obvious to me. Whoever's got the tickets, Vandy or Stubhub, is going to sell them for what they can get for them.

Never had an issue with Stub Hub. Great place to buy pro sporting event tickets as well as concert tickets.

So who is going to be idiot enough to counterfeit Vandy-UAB tickets? You can barely give away legit seats.

Vandy-bammer or something, yeah, maybe, although StubHub is a reputable company and backs their sales.

It would be like making fake pennies. Sure, you could do it, but why wouldn't you make a fake with a high resale value instead? Same risk, same effort.

Chances are that the tickets for sites like Stub Hub came directly from the school's ticket printer or the school AD Business Office. They may not make anything on UAB @ Vandy, but they and the school's Athletic Department will make a bundle on the big games. The schools and individual "scalpers" may face legal problems but the big secondary market can do just about as it pleases. Why sell a Bama Vs Tenn. ticket for $70 when with a little help, you can make several times that amount, even after "commission" charges?

Not sure too many folks will stay up there. This one will be a pretty easy one to drive up and back in the same day.
