I figured tickets for the Orange Bowl wouldn’t be hard to get, but I never would have expected to be able to get tickets for just a buck. Shoot, I can’t get a decent hamburger for a dollar. But, according to this article from BleacherReport.com, tickets for the Virgina Tech vs. Cincinnati Orange Bowl game on Jan. 1, are selling for as low as $1 on StubHub.com. Wow!

Unfortunately, I will be working two basketball games leading up to the New Year’s Day game, so I won’t be able to take advantage of the great discount, but I hope more Hokies will flock to Miami for this game. It’s really unfortunate that this game appears to be destined as a “bust” in the eyes of the BCS, but in these tough economic times, I can’t say that I blame people for skipping this exhibition game.

From BleacherReport.com:

Congratulations, BCS. You have outdone yourself. The Orange Bowl is an official flop, and it hasn’t even played out yet.

The going rate for an Orange Bowl 50 yard line ticket is $181, but it’s probably up for negotiation. The rest of the tickets are selling for far below the face value of $130-$240 per seat.

Some tickets are going for $1. That’s O-N-E dollar, folks.

Want to sit in an executive suite? For $250, it’s yours on StubHub.com. Want to sit in the upper deck? From $1 to $11 bucks, you can watch the Virginia Tech Hokies take on the Cincinnati Bearcats from the upper decks, because those seats at those prices still aren’t selling.
