I don't, because too many of the tickets go to sponsors and others that don't even care to be there. I purchased three Alabama-Miami tickets through the University, well over normal season ticket face value from our own ticket office. I also won two more tickets in an auction so I could find a way to take 5/6 members of my family (the sixth is three years old, so felt it was ok not burning more money for her). I paid less than face for these, which was the only way I was gonna make it work. I say this because the two I purchased from the auction were down low, 35 rows up, Alabama side, about the fifteen yardline. This was the Chick-Fil-A section. Mid-way through the second quarter, 50% of the section had left. After Halftime, 80% of the section had left. My wife hates heights, so I let her and my son sit there, and she said there were maybe 10-15 people out of thousands in that area that had Miami or Alabama attire on. She almost felt out of place because my eight year old son was the loudest person in the entire section and no one else was cheering. So tickets are going to sponsors which are going to people that don't even care about the teams in the game. I found this out, because when my two daughters and I moved down once it cleared I asked a nice guy sitting there that said he was only there because he was given tickets at work and didn't even care for football. This is why I can't stand neutral site games. The tickets are WAY more expensive and loads of tickets go to sponsors and not actual fans, boosters, and students of the programs involved. It's more about money than it is college football. I don't really care what the University gets paid, because for the amount of money I pay for season tickets, I'm having to fork out even more going to a game that has been taken away from us. Tide Pride is the same price no matter if we get that extra game or not, so that's the part I hate.
