Greetings fellow sixpackers. This Saturday I will be in Starkville and going to my first football game since 99. In my defense of not going to a football game in almost 10 years(I've been to several basketball games), we have not really had very many games that I would've been happy to go to. That said, I have a few questions regarding the game/tailgating:

Is it easy to find the sixpack tent in the junction? Is it marked as the official sixpack tent?

Also, stubhub is straight up out of tickets. Am I just 17d if I can't find any online? I'd love to use the free exchange, but I won't exactly be able to pay until Saturday morning plus mailing the tickets to me is kind of out of the question at this point. Are there scalpers (I am assuming yes, but you never know)? Shirley with the empty seats at our games I will be able to find 2 tickets in the lower bowl in a state section right?

Many thanks for any and all answers or prayers sent.

including last year, I was given tickets before games by complete strangers. I never once had to buy one. I just stood around near one of the entrances for about 10 minutes or so and someone would eventually just walk by and ask me if I needed a ticket.

As for the 6pack tent, just look for two large fellows sweating profusely in maroon.

Last, please take a loud dump in the Junction John. It always makes for great conversation.

Just waited in the lobby, near the will call window and someone would turn around offering free tickets.

also i used to go to will call right before games and ask if there were any tickets that had been left for free. there were always a fair number that people had simply turned in for others to have. this was much more common on the mid week games. i don't know if this will be the same this season with ticket exchange.

Yes, they will be every where. Be prepared though. At the SLU game, I discreetly inquired about tickets to one and had about another 4 attack me like a grain truck in Ethiopia. I could not make the deal for other scalpers butting in and fighting with other scalpers. It was f'n ridiculous. I just walked off and waited near a gate and finally someone actually attending the game offered me tickets. Not for free but deeply discounted.

Don't mean to hijack the thread. But who is the little old white bastard with dark hair and dark glasses that is always out there with the scalpers. I have seen that SOB with a handful of tickets selling to scalpers. He is there every game with them.

Mississippi State University has cracked down on scalpers. I haven't seen a single one since 2001.

That's a shame too, because I really enjoyed having ******** hassle me as I walked to the stadium.

is like the pimp for many of the scalpers. A few years back, we were fixing to put a beat down on one of those smartass ticket scalpers and the dirty white guy came over there and pulled the scalper away from the scene. Sad thing is, after starting the ****, scalper runs over to a police, who then threatens to throw us in jail. Funny part was the chubby teenage girl who thought we were badasses because in her words "we were the first ones to stand up to him, he has been doing that to everybody". Actually, if we were badasses, we would have jumped on the guy instead of being scared to go to jail. Sorry for the rant, but I still see that fat bastard every season and it pisses me off.

....was that in West Virginia, a state not known for its abundance of black people, the very first person we saw in Morgantown after exiting off I-79 was a black guy holding up an "I need tickets" sign.

Yeah guys, that sounds like him. Just walk around the east side/south end, you will see him. The dude can not be making that much money to be worth the trouble. I have just always wondered if he was a MSU employee out there trying to make a buck off selling discounted staff tickets.
