My $60.48 SMU Mustangs Season Ticket

I was digging around my loveseat today to find my clicker. And I didn’t. I had to go through the indignity of getting up off the couch after Judge Judy to flip over to Judge Joe Brown. Thankfully, an hour of Judge Mathis follows Judge Joe Brown on my local CW affiliate.

As I looked for my channel clicker, an object that the landed gentry call a remote control, I found $60.48 worth of change in my loveseat. As well as Jimmy Hoffa. He said he’d been living in my loveseat for a few years now. He moved in after the Maras tore down Giants Stadium.

I fixed Hoffa and me some olive loaf sandwiches and we watched the televised small-claims cases for the next 90 minutes. After justice had been served, the former Teamsters president left for a meeting at the Machus Red Fox Restaurant. I pulled out my phone and started surfing the internet, looking for a way to spend the 1,209 nickels and three pennies I found between my cushions.

“It’s four months till football season,” I said to Judge Mathis, interrupting his decision on a sublet gone wrong. I went on Stub Hub to get my SMU football tickets for the coming season. I was on a budget of $60.48, so I needed to be sensible with my ticket choices.

Thankfully, I was able to score good seats at four SMU home games for that exact amount.  My first SMU ticket is for the game with James Madison on September 26. It cost me $13.95, basically a month of Netflix. On Halloween, SMU will be defeating Tulsa at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. I will be paying $15.12 for my end zone seat.

I’m seeing SMU beat Temple on Friday, November 6 for $16.29, the same price I paid at Strawberries for the first Cranberries album. I paid $15.12 for my ticket to SMU-Tulane on November 21.

With all the money I’ve saved on my SMU football tickets this fall, I will have plenty of money to splurge on a front-row seat to the AAC title game. SMU will be representing the AAC West in that game. Some other team will represent the AAC East.
