Should I buy an upper level ticket from BYU - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

or should I try and get a scalped ticket?

What are the chances I can get a lower bowl ticket for less than face value or at face value, esp. if the game is soldout.

I only need 1 ticket.

Very likely. 30 min. before gametime you might get one for less than face value. I do it all the time.

I'm a cheapskate, so I always go for the lower price. If you just want to get into the stadium to see the game, get the upper bowl. The upper bowl gives you a better view of the field anyway, which, IMO, is a plus.

in a small stadium like that if you can get a seat anywhere on the sideline there really isn't a bad view anywhere.

if you only need 1, definitely buy at the venue. Singles are a scalpers best friend.

I am excited for you to enter into this new world. Your eyes will be opened.

At games in TCU or UW?

They have scalpers at the ballet?

UW, Mariners, Seahawks, others. I've even been to NCAA final four games where singles could be bought cheap. BYU-TCU isn't the Super Bowl, though I'm sure it's a hot ticket Thursday night in Dallas.

I can't imagine Waters couldn't drop by the stadium and pick up a ticket off of someone better than upper deck.

the lower bowl in the corner is a worse seat than the upper deck closer to the middle. At least, that's what I think. I like a better angle more than being up close. Last year I was only 10 or so rows up but in the corner. I hate not being able to see the play develop if I'm there in person. I won't be in the BYU section, but I will have 40 yard line seats. The upper deck at Amon Carter is a good seat. It hangs over the lower bowl so you are nowhere near as far from the action as you would be high up at LES.

That is a fair point, especially if he's willing to miss the opening kickoff.
