Everything has its price

I'm one of the lucky few who was able to score a ticket to Pasadena at a reasonbly low price. The other night at a bar while sitting around drinking beers, someone posed the question: At what price would you finally sell your ticket? In this hypothetical, you can't buy another ticket. So I guess the better question is: How much would you sell your ticket for if it meant that you had to give up your seat and watch the game at home on tv?
 
Thoughts of dollar signs have passed through my head, but in the end this ticket is worth more to me than someone will offer. Right after I picked up my ticket, a guy was waiting outside with $800 in hand, making offers for tickets. Way too low for me.
I see people offering around $1300 at the highest on craigslist, and slightly lower on ebay, and thats still too low for me. I dunno, maybe I'm being dumb, considering the ticket cost me literally nothing (had a friend pay for it), but the memory of being at the game
for college football is too much for me to pass up. I'll probably never go to a superbowl, so this is the closest I can get.
 
One of the objectives in working hard for money is to be able to do things like attend your school's national championship game. If you spend your whole life not really living it, but instead just acquiring more dollars, what would be the point?
 
I had four in Section 11 in 2006. I watched a guy fork over $6400 to buy four comparable tickets about two hours before kickoff. That wouldn't have even come close to what it would have taken for me to give my tickets up. An offer of $20,000 would have gotten my attention, but I'm not sure it would have gotten my tickets.
 
Think of it like this:

What if you were aggy? Or sand aggy? Or okie aggy?

You have the opportunity to experience something their fans have never seen, and likely never will.

On second thought, screw that. We're Texas...thanks to Mack, we expect to be in the mix just about every year and have a title shot every few years.

Carry on....

Again all about priorities. I drive a car with 307,000 miles on it. And as long as the AC works and it still gets 33MPG I will continue to drive it. Since I bought in 1992, lets see what have I been willing to spend cash on........both Clinton inaugurations, three Super Bowls, two Final Fours, a Sugar Bowl, two Fiesta Bowls, each Big 12 Basketball Tournament; six trips to Omaha, most every home and away football game (actually have missed two at home), you know, important stuff. New cars aren't on the list. Championship games are.
