So,
@IowaRealEstate and
@ChrisMWilliams, how'd it go with that investment scheme about buying NCAA Regional tickets for Kansas City? I lost my shirt!
Seriously. I didn't take your advice, but I bought 4 lower level tickets in a early, early bird pre-sale last Spring (blind purchase without knowing your seats until October). Was hoping for Iowa State to get the tournament placement they did and/or Kansas to be there. Argh. Sold the last set of tickets on Stub Hub right after the Auburn game. Lost about $150 per strip (note there were only two tickets per strip, one for both games on Friday and one for the game on Sunday). I guess Charter should stick to real estate and C-Dubs to journalism.
P.S. I made a $600 profit (after Stub Hub fees) per strip selling similar tickets to KU fans two years ago, so I'm still ahead.
