14 Things You Could Buy For The Same Price As A Gouged Notre Dame Ticket

In This Article:

Hokies are claiming supply and demand for price gouging their student football tickets. Some students are trying to charge $200 for a ticket that they bought for $14 or even free in the lottery. Even if students charge $20, they would still make a profit but they know so many people want to go to the game so they cheat their fellow Hokies by charging an absurd amount.

Personally, I've had to buy a $60 student ticket for the Clemson game last fall from someone that I knew personally. That price is $46 more expensive than what they bought their ticket for!

So, here are things you could buy instead of an overpriced student ticket.

Go on a fun road trip instead of overpaying for a student ticket! If there is no demand for overpriced tickets then students will, hopefully, learn their lesson.

Buy a Virginia Tech football jersey to wear to the games you can actually afford.

Your textbooks for next semester

Save that money and keep it in your bank account so you can buy your textbooks to, you know, actually graduate.

Again, you can invest in furthering your education for a better price.

A TV

You can buy a television on sale and actually watch the game in HD in the comfort of your own home.

I just went to an Atlanta Falcons game in Atlanta and it was cheaper than the $200+ that students are charging other students for a student section ticket.

A new pet

Buy a new puppy or kitten to ignore the very small fact that you're not going to the game. A game is over in a couple of hours but the happiness that a new pet brings goes on forever!

A new pair of shoes

You could buy a new pair of converse/sneakers to wear to walk from your tailgate to the stadium or to just wear during the week!

Game day food/drinks

Throw a party at your house for people protesting the idea of paying for expensive tickets and have a good time with your friends at your place instead of the packed stadium!

A new purse/wallet

You can buy a nice purse/wallet to hold all the money you'll be saving.

A nice dinner

Go to a sports bar and enjoy the game with some good food instead of spending an absurd amount of money on the food at Lane.

Half of your rent

You can save that money and have money for at least half of your rent next month. You, or your parents, will thank you.

A Virginia Tech parking pass for the semester

Lastly, you can even buy a Virginia Tech parking pass for the semester which will actually be cheaper.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
