The undefeated Tigers of Auburn will face the ACC champion Virginia Tech Hokies on Monday, January 3, 2005 in the Louisiana Superdome. The tickets for this game sold out overnight, but fortunately, fans can still see the Nokia Sugar Bowl by using StubHub, eBay, or a ticket broker.

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Visit the official Web site of the Nokia Sugar Bowl, http://www.nokiasugarbowl.com . Look at the stadium map to pick out the best seats in the stadium.

  2. Step 2

    Visit Virginia Tech's official site for buying tickets at http://www.hokietickets.com/ or the Auburn Tigers official website at http://www.auburntigers.com/ for more information about purchasing tickets.

  3. Step 3

    Visit an independent ticket marketplace like StubHub to see a wide selection of tickets and prices for available for purchase. Season ticket holders who can't make the game post these tickets for sale. While you shouldn't expect to find a bargain on sites like these, you will be able to guarantee that you get a good seat.

  4. Step 4

    Hunt for tickets on eBay or the online classified ads in the hometown newspapers of the competing teams. You can occasionally find great deals on these sites, but understand in advance how and when you will get your tickets before sending your money to someone you don't know.

  5. Step 5

    Consider the multitude of ticket broker websites you can find by searching on Google, but make sure to only deal with reputable sellers. You should also understand the ticket brokers will take a hefty margin for hot tickets like these.

  6. Step 6

    Fly in desperation to the game and try to buy a ticket from a scalper in front of the stadium. Expect to pay top dollar and work to minimize your risk of fraud. If you wait till after the start of the game, ticket prices may drop but there may be no more tickets left to buy.
