What would you do if you got free SB tix?

I forgot to mention, the rules of the contest stated that the tickets could not be sold... though I don't know how they'd stop you.

My wife entered because she said she just wanted to go to a Super Bowl, but it would've been a nightmare. Plane tickets would have been outrageous, and with the weather there's no telling if we'd even have gotten there; plus I'm sure there isn't a hotel room available within a 60-mile radius; and I've read online that people are charging $150 just to park anywhere near the stadium.

I thought maybe I could fake the company out by going down there and then just selling the tickets, but by the time you got there and back would you even turn a profit?

I'm sure that this was well-intentioned on the part of your company and, in this day and age, it's nice to see a company doing stuff like this.

But (you knew there was going to be a "but" after that beginning ), giving SB tix away a "few days" before the game in a distant location is really not optimal. Given the weather, it was going to be a nightmare flying to the Dallas area this week even if you'd booked weeks or months in advance. Also, close-by Hotel rooms have been sold out for months, so you would have probably had to stay a couple of hours away.

So, nice idea, but they should have thrown in a hotel room and airfare if they were going to do you a favor; or let you sell them for a financial benefit to someone who was already in the area. You could have done that and fed-exed them by as late as yesterday.
