Texas A&M students face penalties for selling Alabama tickets for profit
It's a tempting proposition for some Texas A&M students: Sell your seat at the country's most expensive college football game of the season and get enough cash to pay rent for a month or two.
But it'll be a tough lesson for those who get caught: Reselling a student ticket for profit is prohibited and carries penalties ranging from revocation of the ticket and even tickets for the entire season. As of late Monday, at least two students were paying the consequences of trying to turn a profit.
The average ticket price to Saturday's match between No. 1-ranked Alabama and the No. 6 Aggies is $744, according to Vivid Seats, which did a special review for Forbes magazine. That's 35 percent higher than the next most costly game: LSU at Alabama in November carries an average $550 ticket price.
So what's an enterprising young student to do?
