Ariz. -- The great ticket search of 2011 began the moment Auburn and Oregon fans landed at Phoenix's airport. Descending the escalator to baggage claim on Friday evening, a bedraggled man in a white t-shirt and baseball cap accosted arriving passengers. "Anyone got any tickets. Tickets for sale? Tickets." No one on the escalator responded and the man worked his way back in the direction of baggage claim, making eye contact with anyone in Auburn or Oregon apparel, continuing his plea for available tickets.
It's come to this in the Valley of the Sun.
There are no tickets to be had anywhere.
As a result, prices for the 2011 BCS title game have entered the stratosphere, the highest prices ever recorded on StubHub.com and other online ticket brokers. CNBC sports business reporter Darren Rovell told FanHouse, "It's the most expensive any ticket has been since they've been for sale online." (It's hard to gauge the ticket prices for events before online listings because the ticket marketplace was not as transparent then).
How expensive are tickets?
