Scalpers: Syracuse Football's True Victims

Can't you take pity on the guy who tries to sell you a $30 face value ticket for $60?

"I don't think it's gonna happen, but I've just been coming here doing it so long I don't know what else to do on a Saturday afternoon."
"Nakimo," might I recommend Post-Standard Weekend Magazine? Chock-a-block with unique ideas to make each weekend in Syracuse a memorable one.
