Interesting - because ticket selling does definitely happen on campus. We've done it as recently as last year - of course we were selling two tickets to the Ga Southern game for $10 for the pair because it was pretty hard to get rid of them. I'm sure the buyers felt they got a great deal, but in reflection, we scalped them.
