The tickets are wothless. If you want to sell them contact the Bama ticket office, you might be able
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette/STEPHEN B. THORNTON -- Fans linger stunned in the stands following the Razorbacks loss to Lousiana-Monroe s in overtime of their their game last Saturday at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.
Two days before the game, upper-level tickets can be purchased for $35 on StubHub. Tickets in the same level sold for more than $160 one day prior to the loss to ULM. The most expensive ticket listed on StubHub is now $290.
After months of fans pleading for tickets to the game on popular ticket exchange message boards such as Hogville.net and HawgsIllustrated.com, dollar rental cars canada several dollar rental cars canada have been posted since the ULM loss, all for the $55 face value.
"I do feel very bad for the guy who bought my inflated tickets now that the game has lost its luster," he said. "I can't attend all games as an out-of-towner, so I sold these and deliberately sold them for a little less than they were going for on StubHub; the going rate was $238 at the time for my section."
dollar rental cars canada Cliff said one of the reasons to sell his tickets at an inflated rate was to cover a portion of his $700-plus dollar rental cars canada donation to the Razorback Foundation, the university's private fundraising entity for athletics. Season ticket priority is based upon donations to the foundation.
dollar rental cars canada As part of a seating equity plan put into place prior to last season, ticket holders must also pay a $125 fee per seat to maintain their same location in the stadium from the year before. To keep the same seats for a pair of tickets in Fayetteville, fans were charged $850 for bleacher seats before donations to the foundation.
The University of Arkansas announced earlier this summer it had sold a record number of season tickets for its games in Fayetteville. In addition to the Razorbacks' No. 10 preseason ranking, on-campus games against Alabama and LSU - the participants in last season's national championship game - drove the demand.
During Alabama's last trip to Fayetteville, a record 76,808 fans attended the game two years ago. LSU had played in Little Rock in its last nine trips to Arkansas, routinely selling out War Memorial Stadium.
Arkansas' game against Alabama dollar rental cars canada was selected as the "SEC on CBS" game of the week in July. The popular ESPN pregame show "College Gameday" was scheduled to originate from Fayetteville prior to the Razorbacks' loss last weekend.
"I don't think it was wrong to try to get a fair going rate since I made a respectable foundation donation and had to pay for the season tickets," Cliff said. "But I fully expected the buyer would be seeing two top 10 teams playing."
"There were a lot of other things we could have done with that money and a lot of other things we could have bought," Robertson said. "We kind of have a certain amount dollar rental cars canada we can spend and we were thinking we could use the money a little dollar rental cars canada later down the road for tickets to a bowl game or the SEC championship, and then we just blew it all on this game. It could all be worth it, but I doubt it."
"There was about a two-week span where people were paying more than $500 for a ticket," Robertson said. "It was being hyped up so much. If you could afford it, there was a time where people were paying."
dollar rental cars canada Local hotels have also noticed the effects of the Razorbacks' defeat. The Marriott TownPlace Suites in Bentonville and Springdale both reported several cancellations since Arkansas' loss to ULM. June Kraft, general manager of the Springdale location, said at least 10 rooms were canceled prior to the hotel's 72-hour cancellation cutoff, dollar rental cars canada though those rooms have since been filled.
Fayetteville hotels have more stringent cancellation dollar rental cars canada policies. At the Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Fayetteville, occupants are required to cancel their rooms two weeks in advance for football weekends.
"Most of our guests are regulars. We do a lot with the university, we have people from CBS Sports here, so there are a lot of people who will be here regardless. We've had very few calls for cancellations."
The tickets are wothless. If you want to sell them contact the Bama ticket office, you might be able to unload them there. Also the LSU ticket office to beat the rush. Watching this beating on national TV will be enough without having to sit through it. Question: if the current coaches continue to bring in recruits, how does Jeff Long know they will fit in with the schemes of the new HC? How do we get out this mess?
The tickets, like the ego of average Ark males, are indeed worthless. What will we ever do?? Our self esteem deeply damaged we have only Jeff Long to blame. Ethics are one thing but the ego drive and ego fitness of an entire state s psyche is the cost.
Well, I wouldn t pay for any ticket to a college game over $100. They re not worth it. Like I wouldn t pay over $250 for a NFL game unless maybe if I had a desire to go to the Super Bowl. I like Arkansas but game prices is ridiculous HIGH.
