For The Low Price Of $103,000 You Can Buy Two Seats For Duke At Syracuse!
Today Syracuse announced that their home game next month against Duke has sold out and will reset the record for on-campus attendance in college basketball history. I’m not really sure how they track these sort of things because when I was at the school I went to about three of these record setting games. They say they keep adding seats, but I don’t see how. Anyways, the Duke game in late February is going to be the game of the year on campus. I did a rare smart thing and bought tickets months ago with my buddies so I’m all set. After winning in Duke earlier this month, Cuse has revived their once dead season and put themselves back on the map of the college basketball world. As a result, tickets are in very high demand. Such demand that these tickets in row N at center court are going for the bargain of $50,000 a pop.
Regular season game in snowy Syracuse? Yeah fuck it, let’s just drop a kid’s tuition on some seats. Not even front row. You’re row N!
Well, if you were at the precipice of buying these tickets I’m here to direct you to Seat Geek where the same seats can be had for $610 per seat (plus fees). This isn’t an ad, I’m just looking out for the average stoolie who was foolishly about to drop 50 Gs on some tickets. No need to thank me, I’m just your guardian angel.
I frankly have no idea who would buy these seats, however, which are on the complete opposite direction of the Dome. I mean what’s going on here? Imagine telling your buddy you got the tickets and you go to sit down here? Grounds for throwing that guy off the top level to his death.
Some are quick to point out that these people will seat jump and end up sitting much closer. That’s fair, but the crazy thing is I’ve seen people sit almost this far away from the court at big games. It’s insane. I don’t know what their deal is, but I guess they must want the experience of being at the game. Syracuse fans are nuts. Maybe it’s because of the weather, but I love them.
See everyone going on the 23rd even though most of the bars on campus are closed now. There used to be this senior bar called Chucks and then a secondary bar called Lucys. Then there was a bar all the people with fake ids could get into called DJs (I’ve gotten into this place using someone else’s fake so that should tell you everything). Well now Chucks is gone. Lucys is gone. There’s something called Orange Crate now and I guess DJs is the place to be? Figure it out Syracuse.
