I took my 4 kids to the PC game Saturday, w/out tix
Sep 14, 2010, 10:35 AM

and started trying to get a scalper to be reasonable, but wouldn't pay what he wanted. I was going to try and wait him out, as it was 1 hour until kickoff....a gentleman approached me and asked if I needed tix. I was getting ready to go into "negotiating" mode, when he said "You can have these! Your family has on the right color and I want someone to enjoy these!" I tried to give him money, but he refused. These were 2 seats on the 50, lower deck south stands, 3/4 of the way up, 4 seats on 40, the lower deck north stands, 1/2 way up.
Awesome seats! The kids had a blast and I could actually afford to buy them food/drinks! I didn't get his name, but if you are on here - Thank you so much!!
Tiger fans atre the best in the world!

Them by a guy. I wonder if it is the same guy who does this all the time? It is always right before kickoff too. Nice fella.

Kudos to the gentleman that gave you the tickets who just wanted good Clemson folks in the stands. This is precisely why no one should EVER buy from or sell to scalpers(guys that wear no team colors and holds up 4 tickets while holding cardboard sign saying "I need tickets" and has 10 other tickets stuffed in their pockets). Blows my mind when I see a Clemson fan sell their unused tickets to a scalper and not to a dad and his kids. Not saying eveyone should give their tickets away...just sell them to anyone but a scalper. Scalper is not going to give you anything for the ticket and then turn around and make a profit. I'm all for capitalism...just not for scalpers. In case you can't tell, I despise scalpers...$

Great story... Our family was gifted tickets at the SC state game last year from an IPTAY guy. And these were club level behind the glass. CU Tiger fans are the greatest. Now lets go beat them other Tigers Sat.

Someone either needs to:
a) Refresh their browser.
or
b) Get off page 1,237 of the Tiger Football Board.
