Tickets, Who Has Tickets?

After hearing directly from a few people looking for tickets to the reportedly sold-out Dartmouth football game at Georgetown as well as indirectly about many, many more in a desperate hunt for seats, I set off searching StubHub, various other resalers, Craigslist, eBay and more . . . and came up empty. I don't know the rules and regulations about any of this stuff, and I'm pretty sure there usually isn't this much demand for Georgetown football tickets, but I'm surprised they aren't showing up on the secondary market.

All that said, a Georgetown insider says the school generally holds some tickets on the home side for walk-up sales, and that without much demand from Hoya fans that they could/should be available Saturday.

Time will tell.

The countdown to kickoff is on. Mrs. BGA and I will be hopping on the train to Washington, D.C., Friday morning and trying to sleep on the overnight train back after the game. Barring a delay, I'll be back in Boston in time to drive back to Hanover, hop out of the car and cover the junior varsity game against Middlebury on Sunday afternoon.
