I feel like there's so much more we can get with that or we could even take a nice little vacation with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1345398 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:51:34 +0000 sandy 1345398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: even season ticket holders will get their playoff tickets for face value and try to sell them for 3-4 times more than they paid...ridiculous! So I guess on stubhub there is a setting where you can elect for the price to drop at a certain time if they haven't sold...and at least for the saints game the prices dropped a ton hours before the game as scalpers were trying to unload their tickets </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1345310 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:30:17 +0000 HLK208 1345310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: I guess they sell out within a minute but then people resell them for so much more, but your right, I bet if we waited we might be able to find them for less! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1345156 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:59:12 +0000 snowjewelz 1345156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our household DH would never even ask because that kind of money for leisure is not possible! For a vacation yes but for 1 day of watching a game no. </p> <p>If this is unusual for your hubby to beg for and you have never gotten him anything like this, then maybe! Knowing how much he appreciates would be worth it (I am assuming if you're considering then the money is not an issue?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1345064 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:42:36 +0000 littlebug 1345064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a chance in hell. I MIGHT pay $900 if my team or Hubs' team made it to the SuperBowl and the game was within driving distance so we wouldn't have to fly. But a playoff game? No way. Talk to me after I win the lottery, though...maybe I'll change my mind. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1345053 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:41:23 +0000 littlek 1345053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Honestly, I'd do it! Next year (if they make the playoffs) you will have 3 kids, so probably not the time, energy or extra cash to go. Don't forget your clear purse!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1345046 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:38:54 +0000 prettylizy 1345046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the Lions ever made it to the playoffs I'd sell my arm to go to a game! lol! So yes :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1345036 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:36:18 +0000 littlek 1345036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: probably... I spent about $500 on tickets for non playoff games for DH for christmas a few years ago </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1345027 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:34:25 +0000 sandy 1345027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I think a new tv is a great idea especially for your beautiful new house! Personally,I prefer watching football games at home....I get too cold! I was asking my husband about the cost of tickets and he told me his tickets are $215 face value and for the Saints game people had similarly located tickets marked up to $600 per ticket...but hours before the game the tickets dropped down to the face value price on StubHub.com. Soooo....if he hasn't already decided on getting a new tv, maybe you can have a sitter lined up for the kids and check on stubhub for tickets a few hours before the game and see if they move down to face value...I hate doing last minute stuff but that may be an option </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1344651 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 03:31:47 +0000 Arden 1344651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahaha no. But only because it would be astronomically outside our realm of reality when it comes to finances... that and the fact that we aren't sports people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1344645 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 03:12:43 +0000 Sapphiresun 1344645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. DH and I each have a kind of generous monthly "allowance" of no questions asked money in our personal accounts, so if it was in his account and what he chose to spend 2-4 months worth of his spending money on, the tickets are his. I might roll my eyes that it's a lot of money for ONE game that he could just as easily watch at home and I wouldn't be willing to spend $450 from my allowance though on that to join him, so he'd either have to pay for both of us or find a friend to go with him, but it wouldn't be a straight up "no".</p> <p>I've easily spent $450 on new workout gear, a hair cut, leather boots and a trip to Sephora this month, and he didn't question me even though I'm sure he thinks those things are wasteful, so it's not fair for me to deny him his own discretionary spending as long as we can afford it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1344591 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 01:33:20 +0000 Espion 1344591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: That sounds like a plan! Then it would be the gift that keeps on giving! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1344588 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 01:30:04 +0000 HLK208 1344588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I think Super Bowl tickets are thousands though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1344587 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 01:27:45 +0000 HLK208 1344587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: for two people! Those are the cheapest tickets!</p> <p>Of course I would go with, I love our football team as much as he does. But, I also like being warm, in my house watching a game instead. </p> <p>I've asked him for things that had a similar price tag, he never said no but he never pushed me to buy those items either. I think I might just tell him for the same price, he could get a smart tv to watch the game at home. DONE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy/page/2#post-1344566 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 00:44:25 +0000 Boogs 1344566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super Bowl, yes. Playoffs, no. But, that's also assuming we had extra cash to splurge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344561 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 00:37:36 +0000 teamjse 1344561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dh never ask for anything, so if he really wanted them, I would buy them in a heartbeat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344489 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:27:32 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1344489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! Instead, maybe offer to throw an awesome house party? The view (and climate) would be better that way anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344474 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:19:11 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1344474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly wouldn't because I can go overseas and back on $900. But then again, I'm not football fan.<br /> However, my husband likes to spend money and loves football and has the perspective that he deserves to play hard because he works hard, so he might try to do it; It's all about perspective, I guess. Do what pleases you!</p> <p>My parents took me to FIFA World Cup for my high school graduation gift and it cost 5x that....so for me, I'd say soccer was worth it;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344465 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:14:24 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1344465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would consider it if he was a big fan. We were seriously considering going to the World Cup if DH's team made it, but then LO came and I am not taking an infant into that craziness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344407 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 22:41:18 +0000 sunny 1344407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: DH has never given me a hard time about my spending too! I feel guilty sometimes and I want him to say no :-) When he got home tonight I asked him if he would like tickets to go but as I expected, he said he'd rather just watch in our warm living room. He hates the cold! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344298 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:56:37 +0000 MamaG 1344298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but only because DH and I do not agree on NFL teams. Our teams are rivals. We have attended a world series game (and the series games leading up to the world series) pre-child. </p> <p>We would consider spending that much on other sporting events if it was something one of us (really DH!) really wanted. My DH is also in the camp of doesn't really spend money on much so I don't try to fuss too much when he requests something and we can afford it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344294 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:55:29 +0000 mlm2934 1344294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe. I'd pay that kind of money to go to march madness for NCAA, but it would def be a once in lifetime trip kind of thing - vacation budget </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344292 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:55:16 +0000 autumnlove 1344292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would! :-p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344290 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:53:18 +0000 BSB 1344290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: $900 per person or is that for 2 people?</p> <p>Hmm, if it was my team. Maybe... A </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344283 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:51:36 +0000 mediagirl 1344283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not. Something like that in our house would have been saved up for a long time to get. I know you never know when your team will be there but if we were hopeful and decided we wanted to save the money, we would have started a long time ago. </p> <p>Also, it would be us buying the tickets, not me buying them for him for something that expensive. Yikes. I know once in a lifetime and all that but it's just one day! 5 hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344220 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:27:13 +0000 dolphin 1344220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it was something DH really wanted, yes I would get it for him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1344202 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:22:37 +0000 regberadaisy 1344202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: you are so wise. I see so many ladies on here talk about the super expensive shit they buy. But when it's something the husband wants it's a hell no. </p> <p>@HLK208: how big of a fan is DH? If he is is 110% hard-core die hard fan I would find a way to make it happen. If our NFL team ever made it to a playoff game I would personally start selling the shit around the house so he can go to the game. He's one of the biggest most loyal fans I know and it will be an experience of a lifetime for him.<br /> But yes, they will be birthday/ father's /Christmas gifts for a few years!!! </p> <p>That to me is worth way more than a danzo bag or high end designer shoes. None of which I have but I know many ladies on here do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1343913 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 20:13:26 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1343913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it meant A LOT to him, and you had the $....yes!</p> <p>We spent a pretty penny for my husband to go to the NCAA national basketball championship last year...Michigan lost but in the words of DH "it was a once in a lifetime opportunity". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy#post-1343902 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 20:10:40 +0000 cyan 1343902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha. In our current world, that would be a big, fat "no".</p> <p>IF we had the extra throw-around money, however, I would totally buy them. As long as he took me with him to the game. :wink: </p>
