**My husband Gary is a huge college football fan, especially for our home state team. Although he has never owned season tickets he always took pride in being able to find tickets so that we never had to miss a home game. We had been married about 3 years when his luck had finally run out.**
**It was about half way through the season and “the Big game” had arrived. Gary had been trying to get tickets to this game all year and felt that he eventually would. But tickets were scarce due to both teams being ranked extremely high in the polls as well as being undefeated.**
**When he came home from work the day before the game he was upset because he still hadn’t gotten any. After dinner, he made a few phone calls without success and told me that there was no way we were going to miss the game and he would do anything to get a pair of tickets.**
**He said that the plan he had would be for us to stand out in front of the stadium with everyone else who would be looking for tickets and try to buy several from someone hopefully at a good price.**
