Is It a Good Idea to Spend 450 Bucks on 2 Crappy Tickets???

[coolman3]

My folk are like 15,000-ish on the waiting list, so I can't score tickets to the playoffs game at face value.

I checked out theticketking.com, and the divisional game prices are dropping. However, only crappy end zone seats are available, and they are still 200+ a piece.

I want take my girlfriend to the game. Is it a good idea?

[MJZiggy]

Question: Do you have 450 in disposable income?

[coolman3]

Question: Do you have 450 in disposable income?

Yes, but I am torn by the opportunity cost of going to the game. On some travel sites, $450 is enough for a nice 1-week vacation to somewhere exotic. The Pack game is only 3 hours long, the seats are crappy, and I also face the possibility of being hurt should the Pack lose. I shed 400 bucks to the Pack-Falcons game a few years ago, and I was not happy with the outcome.

What should I do?

[Deputy Nutz]

You can rent a big 60 inch HDTV for not even half that and watch the game in your own environment.

[GrnBay007]

What should I do?

Grab Dad's credit card and take your g/f to Atlantic City for the weekend. :lol: :wink:

Perhaps you might consider paying off the $3k you charged on Daddy's credit card a year ago during your trip to the casino, if you haven't already reimbursed him.

Otherwise, I'd go to the game.

Question: How big a fan is your girlfriend? (and are you planning to do something like propose in the stands or something?)

You beat me to it... HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? :x


Great minds think alike... :P

She is more of a Cleveland Browns fan. As for proposing, nah, marriage is too big of a commitment.

[gbpackfan]

I question if your even a Packer fan. Have you ever been to Lambeau?

I make these statements because you stated they are CRAPPY tickets. A REAL fan would know there is no such thing.

And yes, it is worth it. Go!

I've been to Lambeau Field a dozen or so times. Although being inside it is beautiful, they need to get rid of those goddamn old fashioned bleachers that I can find on any high school field, and install single seats!!!

Much as they're really cool, I kinda have to agree with you. I had some guy sitting on my lap through the whole first half of the posters game. I notice he didn't sit on Tar's lap when I switched seats with him for the second half... :roll:

[HarveyWallbangers]

Those crappy bleacher seats are the reason there isn't a bad seat in the house.

Hard to answer without a picture of your girlfriend.

Hell if you're willing to scam Best Buy and take 10 inches off the TV you can buy an HDTV for that much.

[Partial]

is that tank?

[MJZiggy]

If it is he took some serious grammar lessons...

50" HDTV for 450 bucks???

[Scott Campbell]

Is it still the little red headed girl from your intern gig?

[BallHawk]

is that tank?

I don't see how it couldn't be. Same MO, spare the grammar.

[Deputy Nutz]

There is a bad seat in the house, I got stuck right in front of the crossbar in the endzone and couldn't see shit.

[KYPack]

The one with ratty hair and a dirty neck?

Just have yer daddy do a couple extra operations.

[MadtownPacker]

This has to be the most punk-ass, lame, limp-wrist thread of the year.

Dont buy the tickets you stupid SOB because you dont deserve to go.

Thats assuming you where even really going to buy them, which we know your not.

[Tarlam!]

I notice he didn't sit on Tar's lap when I switched seats with him for the second half... :roll:

That's cause I was sitting in his lap, Zig! :P

[Kiwon]

If you have to think about it then I'd say "No."

[MJZiggy]

Maybe I need to get fat so I can claim my space...Feed me Seymour!!!!

[GBRulz]

If you can get a playoff ticket for under $300, you're doing well. Keep in mind that face on these tix are like $50-60 more than reg season tickets!!

I have 4 tickets to the Div playoff game. But my seats are on these crappy bleachers, so I won't be asking you to come along anytime soon :twisted: :wink:

[Merlin]

I have sat all over Lambeau and there IS NOT a bad seat in the house. If you couldn't see because of the cross bar, not sure what to tell you, never once heard that complaint before. I guess if the whole game was played between the 20-10 on your end of the field then yeah, that would be a bad seat.

Benches hold more people then single seats. The idea was is to pack in as many fans as you can, not take away 10,000 seats so some fool can have a backrest. I think they did a very nice job on the renovations and I WOULD pay $450 for two end zone seats to a playoff game at Lambeau (even in the dreaded behind the cross bar seat), no question in my mind.

If you even have to ask, we know you aren't seriously thinking about going.

[Freak Out]

I voted no. Not because it won't be a blast but because you really can't afford it.

[Deputy Nutz]

Oh gee Merlin I am sorry to have made up a story about sitting behind a crossbar that is almost the same distance apart as the hash marks on the field, so I really could see shit regardless of where the ball was on the field unless I kept ducking my head on way or another. I didn't pay for the ticket and it was a preseason game, but it for surely sucked.

I got one game ticket for 100.00 bucks 5 years ago for the home playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. I waited until 20 minutes before kick off and went to scalpers alley.

[coolman3]

I voted no. Not because it won't be a blast but because you really can't afford it.

I can't afford them? Lol. If they were sideline seats I would've bought them already.

I'm waiting to see if the price will go down. If you want to spend $450 on two crappy end zone seats, go ahead. :)

[Scott Campbell]

I can't afford them? Lol.



Ok moneybags - I'll make you a deal. I'll proofread your next term paper for your playoff tix.

:lol:

[coolman3]

Fuck! I just bought 2 so and so corners seats for $518. If the Packers do not win on Sunday, I am suing. Not for money but for Thompson's firing!!! :twisted: :twisted:

Later folks, my girlfriend is flying in tonight! No more sitting in front of the computer instant messaging her!

[Freak Out]

If you had to make a poll up to find out if you should buy tickets to the Packer game then you really can't afford them.

[GrnBay007]

Fuck! I just bought 2 so and so corners seats for $518.


Shoulda bought em earlier instead of running a poll on PR. :lol:

[The Leaper]

No.

You can't afford it (supposedly) and it is a no win scenario for going. Besides, most PackerRats seem to be bad karma for the team.

[GrnBay007]

LOL I won't mention the last game I went to at Lambeau then....bad, bad loss. :( But hey, that was before PackerRats existed, so I'm exempt. :P

[coolman3]

Holy Smokes!!! Game is on a Saturday instead of Sunday. That is fine with me.

Anyways, seeing that most, if not all, of the fine folks in here, as well MadtownPacker (who is rich enough to pay taxes on his "pimp my ride" car; Mad, is XZiBit as cool as he looks on tv?), are middle-class republicans, I am willing to resell the two side end zone tixs for only $1600, or $800 apiece.

Anybody interested, email me at coolman3@yahoo.com :)

Later.

[MadtownPacker]

two side end zone tixs for only $1600, or $800 apiece.That's a great price for 2 playoff tickets at Lambeau. I will take them both and 2 more if you can get them. I sent you an email with my contact info.

Hmmm ... where have we seen this trick before ... ?

In case anyone wonders Dept.

THIS is why I hate Tank. He is a lyin' swindle artist.

Tank, I know your word isn't any good. You've proven that over the years in all the lies you've been caught in.

If you've made the decision to be a scammer, that's your problem. But don't post this crap on PackerRats. This is a nice little internet community.

And you ain't in it.

Nobody respects you or believes a word you post around here.

[Deputy Nutz]

Fool.

Is there a rule against having multiple user ID's anymore?

I don't recall saying you didn't have a problem seeing the field. I just can't imagine it having sat behind the goal posts before. Does that mean you made it up? Nope. Does that mean I am calling you a liar? Nope. Your perception about what I wrote is so off base. But what the hell, if you can get that worked up over what someone says or didn't say on the internet you must be a real piece of work in person, jackass.

[MadtownPacker]

Is there a rule against having multiple user ID's anymore?We knew it was the moron since the first day. He is just down his parent for XMas break so we left him alone.

Once he gets back to his special school he will be screwed.

Besides, doesnt it feel good to talk smack to the idiot?

[Zool]

Yeah...it kinda does.

Oh yeah, Tank.

Like the killer in "Fargo" said to his partner afeter the buddy totally fucked up his 'handling' of a State Trooper:

"That was smooth, real smooth".

Jeee I have enough trouble trying to figure TT out and he's really quite simple compared to Ole Tanker mj.

I don't have a clue whenever he may pop up. Jaysus for the longest time or best part of a year JH thought I was Tank.

I can't be Tank as I'll likely never see Lambeau Field LIVE with a sausage and warm bun clamped between my jaws and an Ole Milwaukee clamped between my legs.

Yeaaaa that's right mj. She's just one of those dumb blondes.

You can't bring your own beer into the game, because that is the only way your going to get an Old Mud into the stadium.

Which brings me to an interesting personal story, one time when I was a youngster a bunch of friends and I went up to a buddy's cabin with three cases of Old Mill and a couple of cases of Red White and Blue. There were guns at the cabin....

[MJZiggy]

I remember that story. The PackerRats novel. How did that thing end anyway?
