Also, totally historic events for me are more about 'being in the moment'. No doubt that the two greatest MU basketball events I have ever attended are the Halloween Midnight Madness game against the USSR with my dad and the Davidson miracle during perhaps the most personally challenging week in my life.
Not missing that for any price. Especially not to give it to a Badger fan.Money isn't really that important, and you can always make more. Anyone whose happiness is determined primarily by money probably isn't a very happy individual.
Okay, all of you who said you wouldn't sell the tickets for any amount of money either1. aren't being honest2. haven't thought it through, or2. are idiotsI find it hard to believe that if someone offered you enough money so that you could afford to sit front row center at every subsequent Marquette game in your lifetime (including any and all future championship games), generously support every cause that is important to you (both with money and time), and have the building of your choice on campus named in your honor, you would say, "Thanks. I'll pass".And to those of you who made promises to your daughters to take them to the game and don't want to see the look of disappointment on her face, let me ask you this: What would be the look on her face if you told her, "Guess what, honey? I got offered enough money for our tickets that I could pay off all of your debt and buy you a nice house and a Mercedes, but a promise is a promise, so I told the guy to go f*ck himself."
It's easy for someone to say they'd never sell when it's a hypothetical. In actuality, if someone was offered $5k or more for 2 tickets, they'd sell them in a heartbeat.

$5,000. Probably less. Watching sports live isn't a big priority of mine.

Chick, Chick, Chick.But there was a sense of realism in your question. That is, I have to deal with real-life situations, market prices and expectations. If I had tickets to the third game of the World Series this Friday night in Chicago and the potential sale value was $22,000 per, then they'd be gone. But the reality is that NO ONE will offer that for a Marquette NCAA Title Game. There's not that kind of cache associated with Marquette or, for that matter, the NCAA!
Let's flip the question: How much would you be willing to pay to watch MU play in the title game? Sure, you could probably sit courtside for under $5k per ticket, but let's say it's undefeated Marquette against undefeated Blue Blood U. and the prices are sky-rocketing. How high are you willing to go?
I would sell mine for $7,500 a piece. I would pay $5,000 for a decent seat. Not nose bleeds.
Q: Would you sleep with Donald Trump for $1,000,000?A: Wow. $1,000,000 is a lot of money. Sure.Q: How about for $50?A: $50? What do you think I am.A: We've already established what you are. Now we're negotiating price.
