Default Help! What to do what to do!!!

Hey everybody!!! I need some wise advice.

I just won two tickets from the your hub.com contest for the Broncos home season opener next year. I would go except I'm in Los Angeles, California and airfare can't happen.

So wut I do??

1) Sell on e-bay....
2) Sell on stubhub
3) trade for the next best prize, autographed broncos merchandise
4) do 1 or 2 and send money to Orange Mane as donation

Thanks!

Hold on to them. I'm sure you could sell them on here...once the schedule comes out in April.

Make your story more believable would be a start.

Oooo. Tough call. Well there is only one thing to do: Give them to me, and I'll see to it they're put to good use.

I'd go for #3, depending on what it is ... autographed stuff may increase in value.

You've already written off going to a game 9 months from now? What kind of fan are you?. I can (almost) understand if somehow you can't find $180 for a roundtrip on Southwest in the next 9 months, but what about $100 on a train or $50 on a bus? Hell, if you get started now, you can walk to Denver by September.

Keep the tickets and make the trip to Bronco Mecca. You'll be glad you did.

Can't agree more. The home opener is definetly one of the most fun games of the year. With that being said it's roughly 270 days away. As mentioned before you could probably get a flight on SW airlines for less than 200 bucks.

If you could save $0.74 cents a day you could afford a seat. It sounds like you won a pair of tickets. Your extra opening day seat regardless of where it is easily worth let's say $70 bucks. If you sell that to another omaner or anyone else your left with saving $.0.48 cents a day. You could probably find that walking around the streets in your city if you wanted to.

If you need a place to crash and a ride to the game we could probably help you out with that. Not sure how old you are but a 12 pack of beer is about 7 bucks. That is more than enough to bring to the tailgate for your donation.

So total cost of your trip to Denver $137 bucks or $0.51 cents a day if you start saving now.

Oh forgot about food for your trip. Pack some ramen noodles and there is usually a couple brats left after the game. We have plenty of hot water here.

Keep the tickets and we hope to see you in Denver.
