The booster situation and fee structuring has knocked most of my friends out of the games. It seems pride does, indeed, come before the fall.

If you know somebody with 3 tickets and is not planing on witnessing the FSU v CA game I would rather source from a CCGF member or referral.

I do have some C-list inquires out. I know I could hit a scalper but pre-kickoff the prices are not as flexible and I really only care about the horse. So I prefer to show up with the certainty of early access.
