Go to Ebay. In times like this, people are looking to make money and its unfortunate. They purchase tickets they have no interest in using to make money. It's a joke

Saw that. Disgusting.
Most of the tickets listed are just random Vanderbilt or UT basketball tickets. Personally, I think it's a Ticketmaster employee.

another poor decision by PSU IMO to not allow current and former players to automatically get a ticket.

It's almost unbelievable... Someone please tell me they have tickets set aside for them somewhere

It's downright sickening that people are selling the tickets to JoePa's memorial on eBay. They can't call themselves a PSU alum/fan if they are doing that.

People that sell tickets to a memorial service generally are bad people

If anyone can get the email for one of the people selling on ebay they should post it on 4chan. That would teach them.

There should have been a clause that any tickets found to be up for sale will be immediately voided and reissued.

This truly should be at Beaver Stadium. Even mid-week they probably could more than fill that place. I don't buy the whole "winterize" excuse. If that is the case "unwinterize" it. People deserve the chance to say good-bye if they so choose. The people in charge at PSU are doing themselves no favors with their crappy decisions.

Because the tickets for the event were free (and there was no TM service charge) it violates ebay's policies & terms of service in regards to selling items.
You can not sell these tickets on ebay,
If the tickets were free for event (whether TM billed service charge or not) it violates ebay policy to sell. If you see them - REPORT THEM

Sean didn't say anything about winterized, but it means blowing the water out of the lines so there aren't any pipe breaks, things like that.

There are a couple of posters on FOS who are bidding the tickets up on purpose and will not pay, so that the person selling them won't get any money out of it.

Hopefully someone let Justin know about this. PSU Nation probably numbers in the millions. It would be impossible for them to accommodate everyone.
The eBay thing is horrifying

Just saw about the FOS posters...that makes me feel a lot better.

Fantastic strategy actually.
People set up a fake ebay account, drive up the price to 25k and then never pay it. The clown trying to profit off of this doesn't get the tickets....and the fake account is disabled by ebay for lack of payment.

Sean, what do you mean by "winterized"?

Here is an article about with quotes from the Penn State crew when they were talking about the Vikings needing a place to play.

A cold, hard fact: winterizing a football stadium a difficult task

Beaver Stadium has already been winterized. And the process had to be reversed to get Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium ready for Monday night's Chicago-Minnesota contest.

Makes sense.
I hope no one makes any kind of profit off of these tickets.
