P.T. Barnum Would Be Proud

As is the case every year, online ticket resellers will be more than happy to take your money in exchange for Ivy League football ducats. A word to the wise:

Don't give it to them.

Barring Caitlin Clark quitting the WNBA to play Ivy League football, tickets will be available at face value on game day for every game in the Ivy League except the little one in Cambridge on the final Saturday of the season.

For grins, check out these screen grabs for Dartmouth's home opener against Fordham from online sites:


In case the text highlighted in pink is hard to read, it says: "Don't miss out! Less than 1% of tickets left."

Green Alert Take: And can I interest you in purchasing the Ledyard Bridge while we're at it?

Check out this one from ticketsales.com:


Green Alert Take: That's right. You can pay $87 apiece for tickets in Section 7. Or you can buy a couple of general admission tickets at the trailer outside the main entrance to Memorial Field five minutes before kickoff and assign yourself a seat in Section 7.

And for the record, the game is not at 11:59 p.m..
