Don't know if this is real or not, but an Indy craigslist ad for "seat fillers" for Saturday night. I know tickets aren't selling. All the husker fans who bought them in Sept. aren't able to unload them on StubHub-- >9000 tickets available, starting at $9!

Thanks for expressing interest in helping us fill empty seats on Saturday night. We have gotten your e-mail address, and will be sending out details Saturday morning to match the expected number of needed seat-fillers. Our client has asked for discretion about this opportunity, as "seat-filling" is behind-the-scenes aspect of this event production.

On the day of the event event, we will designate a parking garage and validate your parking. Seat fillers will be assigned seats inside or near the event close to the event start time. We expect fillers will need to be checked in around 6:30pm on Saturday. The event itself begins shortly after 8pm, and we expect it to conclude close to midnight. You will receive payment at the end of the evening upon turning in the paperwork given to you at the beginning of the evening.

No experience is necessary, and there are no age, sex, or race requirements. We are asking that all participants wear red or dark green t-shirts and/or hats.

This is an exciting opportunity to be paid to see a live sporting event! We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

5 mintues till that hits deadspin...

I hope that's real

Wow is this ever embarrassing.

Somebody send this to the Circle of Champions and SO as our new Marketing Plan!

Man I think it would be so cool to play in a Conference Championship at home. Get rid of these stupid neutral site games. The SEC is the only conference that can pull it off

But is it more embarrassing than the ACC championship with 27K attendance? Yeah, probably.

Not because they couldn't fill the seats, though.

Ticketmaster is still showing available seats in row 3 in the 50 yard line section. How long have these been on sale?
