Speaking of this, what's the most anyone has paid for a bench seat?
While I was a student at ND I sold my student ticket for games I didn't attend for $5. What can I say, I'm a hippie and had no interest in gouging. It was SOP among students who didn't care to attend a game to sell their tickets to other students who had girlfriends, siblings or buddies from high school heading to The Bend for a game.
I thought they checked student I.D.s to get in with a student ticket?
The standard deal was the ticket plus Student ID. [I still remember, after all these years, my ID #. Go figure.] The $5 was more like insurance to cover the cost of replacing the student ID if it didn't get returned. I assume that scrutiny at the turnstiles is a bit tighter 3+ decades down the road.
My senior year I sold my ticket for every game to a roommate (in an off campus duplex) for his girlfriend to use. She had short black hair and I had long blond hair. I was Richard and she was Carol. She got in every time.
She was a Home Economics major from a college forty miles away so she it was not a problem for her to catch a ride. Every weekend she was in town she cooked, so we ate well. She also cleaned and straightened the apartment, partly out of the goodness of her heart and partly out of disgust.
Five bucks in my pocket plus edible meals and maid service? A win-win situation, I'd say.
