<p>As a new UVa parent, this question is not meant as a solicitation, but rather a question about buying or selling sporting tickets for UVa events. We are out of state, so a 7-hour drive means the best laid future plans can always change for the good or bad depending on weather, health, or whatever. We always enjoy taking in a sporting activity if possible when we come - but early plannign can be costly (and late planning can mean we never find tickets other than student tickets). As an example, we planned a visit for Thanksgiving with my son’s grandparents and purchased extra tickets for the VT football game, but his grandparents now cannot go (won’t be back from Florida). So the real question is: other than using places like StubHub, is there a forum, listserve, or anything available specifically for UVa parents/alums can go to sell/buy (not trying to make money) when they need extras, or because of plan changes? I can’t find anything other than paid services out there, but maybe there’s something I don’t know about? Thanks.</p>
<p>Many students arrange to buy and re-sell various types of tickets on the facebook page for their class at UVa. However, it is more concert tickets than sports tickets.</p>
<p>I bet there’s a UVa Parents group on Facebook. Or maybe the Alumni Association maintains a space for parents to chat?</p>
<p>OK first off-I am a Va Tech parent so let’s all play nice haha. </p>
<p>We are also a ways away from VT and understand this planning ahead and last minute changes. But, selling a ticket has never been a problem for us. Have your son ask around, especially for that game you should have no problem getting rid of them.
As mentioned, check on the alumni site or search UVA parent group on FB. VT has pretty active sites like that. </p>
<p>For purchasing, we have used stubhub, but they are pricey. We also had pretty good luck waiting (fingers crossed, palms sweating) until game day and buying tickets in the parking lot. We are planning to do that again this weekend.</p>
<p>Here is a site a friend of mine uses too…
[VIRGINIASPORTS.COM</a> - The University of Virginia Official Athletic Site - Tickets](<a href=“http://www.virginiasports.com/tickets/ticket-marketplace.html]VIRGINIASPORTS.COM”>http://www.virginiasports.com/tickets/ticket-marketplace.html)</p>
<p>Craigslist. I see quite a few on there for most games. Or try the box office/online. Games rarely sell out, and though you won’t get the best seats in the house you can get a group together and the stadium is on the smaller side so it won’t be like watching ants run around</p>
<p>Thanks all - this is what I was looking for. I appreciate the comments. :)</p>
<p>There is a “UVa Parents” facebook group, but it is not real active on facebook.</p>
