"No desire to go to Jacksonville on Halloween weekend." "I like money." "Can't make the game and know you really want to go!"
Thumbs down, Gators.
As expected, Craigslist and Facebook marketplace were bumpin' on Monday night with dozens of students selling their Florida-Georgia tickets.
Okay, $50 for a ticket isn't horrible, as they originally sold for $40. But $200?
It's not fair to take advantage of Gators fans who want to cheer on their team when we dominate the Bulldogs on Oct. 31.
Students applied for tickets at 6 p.m., only to turn around and scalp them an hour later.
"I need to pay my rent" is a bad excuse. "I didn't know I couldn't go" is even worse. Denying an offer for under $100? Shame on you.
But Gators fans aren't the only ones ripping off fellow fans.
Georgia fans started their scalping spree a few hours before, asking just as much for their tickets.
To both groups, we ask you to consider the requests of seniors who have one last opportunity to experience the event formerly known as the world's largest cocktail party.
We know the game is on Halloween, but these prices are more than scary.
