First off, Hi, I'm Lonnie and I've been a long time Seahawk fan and I've been just lurking around here for the past few years.
I'm coming up to Seattle for the weekend of the 16th of November and I looked into getting tickets to the Seahawks game against the Vikings. Needless to say, they are going for quite a pretty penny right now (nose bleeds seats for $180). Just out of curiosity, I took a look via stubhub at tix for tonight's game in St Louis and a thought struck me. For the same price of a ticket behind the bench in the Vikings game ($497), I could have gone through orbitz.com and got a plane ticket, a rental car, and a hotel for $349. A ticket to the game, behind the visitors bench on the 50 yard line would have set me back just $69. Grand total: $418
I might have been able to afford a beer and some nachos. Of course, the downside would have been being stuck in freakin' St Louis for three days...
Hell, for about $250 more I could have gotten a ticket the the World Series, but there is still that stuck in St Louis thing.
