I heard that a ticket recently sold for that much. Don't know the location but I'm sure it was a prime one.

It seems a pair can be had for 1200-1500. I would love to go but opted on a new 50" Sony HD TV instead.

If a ticket really did sell for $3500 I'll bet it was on close to the 50 yard line.

Goose, my buddy did that last year with the TX / USC game. If you baked in airfare, hotel, food, tickets, etc, it ran about $3k per person.
He now has a sweet 42' Pioneer hanging above his fireplace and every DVD released from the game

I would bet that most people who pay these prices are not multi-millionare types with money to burn
but just ordinary middle class people who become obsessed with a sporting event and just have to
be there and will scrape up the money somehow to do it.

Maybe I'm biased, but I disagree to some extent should Michigan lose a close game. If the game were at Michigan, I would say that a loss by them would be less acceptable but it's not. A Michigan team with one loss on the road to the #1 team still holds more credibility than a team that got crushed by them at home (ND), a USC loss to Oregon St, an Arkansas smoke job or Floridas' loss to Auburn and close calls with Georgia, Vandy and S. Miss. If the BCS did the right thing, Rutgers (with a win against WV) should probably be in but they are likely not the second best team in the country.
