Fans are willing to go under the knife to get tickets for Sunday's NFC Championship Game. | Photos: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/AP 60 from Super: My Tickets for What?By Dan O'DonnellNext game: Sunday, January 20 "60 from Super" Coverage: The demand for tickets to the NFC Championship Game is white hot, so hot that people are willing to give up lots of cash, or even body parts, to go see the Packers bid for a spot in Super Bowl XLII. Online sites like eBay and Craigslist have hundreds of listings for tickets, with prices soaring to the thousands for a single seat. Predictably, though, there are far more potential buyers than tickets available, so they've had to get creative with their offers. Some on Craigslist are offering cash plus a Nintendo Wii or a $1,200 laptop. One guy is willing to trade either his boat or motorcycle. Another is offering a week in his timeshare resort in Orlando. Or if you're a Brewers fan, one season ticket holder is offering his 3rd base line seats to any eight games of your choice. But the most bizarre buyer is offering his right kidney or left lung, plus $500. His entry reads: "Healthy non-drinker, non-smoker here. I'm also willing to part with both the lung and kidney plus 150 dollars for good seats. This deal needs to be completed by tonight as I'll need about 6 days recovery time before stitches can come out. Serious Inquiries only". Now of course, he's kidding....we think. |
