What's your price?

[Henry Sugar]

My wife and I are big believers in the concept of "Experiences > Things". When we go on vacation, we emphasize fun experiences.

This increases my price for the tickets. However, we already went to the 2003 FF, which decreases my price. Also, what am I choosing to do with the money? If I'm just automatically putting the money into a dream vacation, that changes the equation. What's the experience that is greater than another FF run? I don't know... I legitimately couldn't think of a dream vacation I'd prefer over watching MU in the championship. I could probably come up with something great for around $50K, though.

Having said all that, FF tickets aren't that difficult to get. I'd probably spend up to five thousand dollars to go regardless of the situation, which puts the multiplier at 10x.

And that's just the thing. I'm sure that the price I'd actually pay would be far lower than what I'd sell for. Conversely, if I could sell for that hypothetical "any amount of money" I could just as easily sell and buy seats back at a fraction of the cost.

At the end of the day, all I know for certain is if and when we return to the Final Four and/or Championship Game, I'll be there. As long as I'm still drawing breath, I will be at that game, and can't imagine anything that would keep me from it.

We should all get a "we'll never sell damn it" box at said game

The problem is that you also have to have a buyer willing to spend the ridiculous amount.

I could say I'd sell my Marquette NC tickets for $100,000.  Reinvested, that could go along way to paying for my kids (hopefully) going to college in 20 years.

I don't think I could find an actual buyer.  The people who can afford that would have other avenues for tickets.  I think the people who said "there is no amount I'd sell for" probably factored in reality.  No one is willing (or able) to pay the ridiculous sum they require.

What better way to achieve your dreams than to deny another of theirs.

Someone who can burn $100,000 already has tickets or has connections that will find them another way in.  If someone is paying you $100,000, rest assured it's their life savings... and to knowingly accept that, you'd have to be a schmuck.
