In the
spirit of Darwin, my checklist of reasons to not buy football tickets:
- The tickets are quite expensive. We could almost have a family vacation in Yellowstone for what two tickets cost.
- S1 and S2 are interested, but more for the novelty of going to the game, rather than the game itself. They'd probably be equally delighted to go to a women's basketball game (in fact, they were).
- Last year, I ended up selling the tickets to two of the games because of travel. Don't want to deal with eBay that much.
- A 2pm game ends up wasting an entire Saturday.
- This year's schedule of home games is horrible. I hope Kansas is as good as they were last year, or the complete schedule will be a bum rap.
Arguments for buying the tickets:
- The kids love it. So does the wife (she won't watch a game on TV, but she loves the atmosphere in the stadium). I get to take different friends to different games.
- We have good seats.
- The waiting list is so long (15,000?) that if I give up the season tickets, I won't be able to get tickets again till 2020.
That last point won the argument. I sent in my form for this season's football tickets today ... But a stingy part of me hopes that my forms will arrive at the box office after the deadline and I get my money (and the money for all following seasons!) back.
