Come Sunday evening, college football fans will know where their team is headed. Cajun fans who have been howling for a bowl may get their chance to sell 10-15,000 tickets at some hefty prices. The quesiton is: **IF**we get a bid, who will be willing to anti up? ...which is, in the real world of collegiate athletics, the separator between the "wanna be's" and the "already got-it's."
Prices are based on average market value ticket prices in the secondary market. The secondary market is comprised of over 800 ticket brokers, and all of the fans who are selling tickets throughout the country they do not intend to use. The 1st price is the average projected price this week, with the 2nd price being what it was in 2007. The third price is what the closest secondary broker is using as a 2008 starting price.
