Lets pretend for a moment that the word 'service' was used in a very general way to provide a compelling argument against emotional thought on a message board. Maybe you could have thought up a better word for it. I always saw you as a big-picture kind of person, swarthmore.

CW isn't running this message board to facilitate an outlet for scalpers to price gouge ISU fans. Shame on them
Lots of pots meeting kettles here.
We want ISU to be recognized nationally and to sell out games, but then get our panties in a bunch when someone tries to make a buck off it.
We can't have it both ways folks.

If they sell, then clearly utility has been added. Someone, somewhere was willing to pay 65 dollars for these tickets, but otherwise would have had to compete with all the people only willing to pay 30. As Incyte brought up, soon the AD will be the one providing that service and reaping the benefit. Obviously some grey area, but that service provided should be differentiated from the service of the guy immediately in-front of you in line (and no desire to go to the game) getting the last tickets, and promptly turning around and selling them to you for twice the paid value.
I like to think many the scalpers for these types of games is secretly the AD doing price discrimination.

You can argue whatever about how the guy has a right to price gouge other ISU fans and whatever but it doesn't change the fact that it makes the guy a huge d**k.
How do all you know he isn't goin? Maybe he bought four tickets and is going and wanted to make a profit off the other 2. Smart move.
I did it with Iowa ticket a couple years ago. Had season tickets bought one from some dumb freshman girl and made easy cash.

Yes, but it there is a difference between making a buck, and making people sell their souls for these tickets. (which he bought today or yesterday simply to turn around and make a buck off of us)
If he was just buying so he could scalp at the game that is one thing. But coming on this message board and trying to gouge us Cyclone fans that want to cheer and win that is another. He took these away from someone that may have wanted to go but he is now going to make them pay for it.
I hope he needs money badly for some reason or he is just very sleezy.
Because just the other day he posted a thread on here trying to sell upper level center court tickets for $195 a piece...
He had other tickets and wants to sell them. If he wanted to "just go" he wouldn't be having to sell GA tickets that just went on sale yesterday?!?!
Wow, so many people interested in my tickets. For those of you that want to consider me a D.B. with out knowing the story I'm sorry about that. But after being called out I guess I will share the back story and let you be the judge.
I promised my 17 year old Nephew from NW Iowa I would take him to this game. I want to get in the door and take him as I have not missed a home game this year. I work in sales and have had a slow Jan & Feb (March is looking good) and could use a couple of extra tanks of gas considering it's $70.00 to fill up.
When I noticed a huge demand for tickets I figured I could snatch up a couple of SRO seats and attempt to sell my season tickets for a profit. They were not selling for what I had first hoped so I figured I would put these up and make a whopping $25 to take my nephew out for dinner in Ames before the game. Which ever pair sold first was fine by me. Worst case I sell them at the door for what I paid.
Long story short, my season tickets sold for $250.00. I have extra cash in my pocket and still get to take my nephew to the game. Also have exta funds for my young family. The buyers were very excited to get good seats at the last min. I think everyone wins.
Let the judging begin.

You are either full of **** or in pretty bad shape if reselling tickets is your way of supplementing your income. Either way, you've been judged.
You saint you. You should adopt a starving child while you're getting your good deeds out of the way.

If he had just purchased some more, he could have ended hunger in Africa and the world!
