This weekends 4A State Championship between Marshall and Highland Park (River Oaks of Dall-ASS) Taking place in Tyler. Stadium only holds $12,000 people, & last week HP alone brought over $11,000 to Texas Stadium...so...now tickets are on EBAY. 1 Bid so far for $10,000. http://cgi.ebay.com/Marshall-vs-Hig...ryZ16122QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
This is one of those situations where if you don't have a ticket, you take a $100 bill and hand it to the ticket taker and he'll let you right in... $10,000 is just idiotic.
On a side note, Highland Park has one hell of a high school. I went there for a competition in high school and was just in awe of the place. For a public school, that place sure is incredible.
Actually, the seller ended the item early..supposedly someone bought them (the game is tommorrow at 3pm.) It did have one bid on it earlier tonight. Read the questions. Funny thing is...as of yesterday, they've cleared the game on a local UHF channel here in the metroplex. Some HP booster paid FOXsports $15,000 for the rights to air the game (since FSN were not going to do it). someone bought some tickets off of Craigslist earlier this week -2 for $500. And someone else sold some on EBAY earlier this week for $236. Those were before the broadcast was announced. Now, there's a lot of tickets on Ebay, some with no bids for little money.
Can you believe that 77% of their tax dollars actually go to other school districts. The reason they have so much nice stuff is because of Private Donations to the school. Those people are Outrageously Rich...I hope Marshall beats the crap out of them today. They are VERY Spoiled...and I'm referring to the parents. (Don't know about the kids...I just know the parents make a LOT of Noise when things don't go their way.)
