I got better tickets this way. Sitting on the side of the end zone in the 300's. That's why I bought over a month ago. I haven't attended more than three Sooner football games in any year since I graduated. But in this century, I've always seen at least one or two during the regular season.
But I've been to every CCG OU has played in except one. My ex and I separated in 2006 and I missed the Nebraska game in KC. So my tradition is to go to every CCG that I can. It's obviously a whole lot easier in Jerrah World for me than Arrowhead. But watching a game in that stadium in the 400's means mostly watch on the huge tv screen, because the players are so far away. If I'm going to watch on television, I can do that at home.
So I counted on OUr being their, and that is now a 99% chance. And I got a way better seat than you get if you're not a season ticket holder, and buy them later. So I took a little gamble, and did pretty good.
The only thing is, I figured we'd be playing Texas and the seats would be hard to come by. With Baylor the almost certain opponent, I could have bought a ticket on game day for less than face most likely.
On other factor. I've almost always bought football tickets on game day to every Sooner football game in this century. The only time I've been ripped off, was the TCU game. Got sold a counterfeit. So buying in advance from real venders makes more sense. And given that, waiting would just have made my seat location worse.
