Ticket Prices
« on: June 28, 2019, 11:38:34 AM »
If you want to buy single-game tickets from the university box office, what's the max cost? 

I just got 4 tickets for the TCU@Purdue game, which is a night game against a pretty solid P5 opponent [albeit OOC]. Tickets were on the 50 yard line, 18 rows up, behind the Purdue bench (I could have been closer for the same cost--prefer a little farther up to see better). Tickets were $75/ea, and that's the max ticket price.

Thinking it might just be due to it being an OOC opponent, I looked at the Indiana game. Max price of $85/ea.

To me, these tickets seem *ridiculously* cheap. Is this normal compared to B1G peers, or are the tickets cheap just because it's "only" Purdue?

That is in line with what UW charges for prime opponents.

$75 for the Hoosiers in Lincoln, but that wouldn't be a great seat

Ok... So it sounds like the bigger programs aren't going to let you get 50 yard line low-row seats for $75... That's what I kinda expected. 

I was going to look at what Purdue would charge for a "premium" game like ND or OSU, but the closest thing we have to a premium home game this year is Nebraska, and that's going for a max of $75 as well. I think unlike when OSU comes to town, Nebraska is far enough away that there isn't such a huge contingent of traveling fans who make the trip to lowly Purdue.

There are no "good" seats available in Madison. The ones they offer are in the seats nobody has purchased for a season ticket, or those that the visiting school has returned. They also keep some in the end zone by the field house and some in the first 5 rows or so, for general ticket sales.

For Michigan there will be none available. Iowa neither. The season ticket holders will get all of the extras.

I don't think anyone can buy single game tickets at UGA, except for a pastry game. 

ATHENS, Ga. - Due to tickets returned by our visiting teams, a limited number of single game tickets to four (4) home football games are on sale now.

September 1vs. Austin Peay$55 each
September 15vs. Middle Tennessee State$55 each
October 6vs. Vanderbilt$75 each
November 17vs. UMass$55 each


These would mostly be in the third deck of the north stands near the end zone.  The ND game tickets on Stubhub start at $525 for the worst seats possible.  There must be folks willing to pay that.

IF I ever go to a game again (big IF), it would have to be in club seats. I don't do benches anymore, and neither does the Mrs. Back surgeries will do that.

I was looking at Illannoy seats, and the club seats for the UW game are $500+/each.

So.. no. I can fly to Hawaii for that price.

Tickets are getting ridiculously expensive one way or the other for major games.

I wouldn't call UW at Illannoy a major game. Those prices are just stupid.

Middle Tennessee and Army range from $60-100 while Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Ohio State are $145-190.

I would agree with you.  That is absurdly cheap.

I'm not sure ticket prices at the box office vary by location in CFB, I could be wrong, except for the luxo seats of course.  A seat on the 50 might cost the same as a seat in the end zone upper deck.  You just can't buy them on the 50.

There was variation on the Purdue site. Prices ranges from $25 to $75 IIRC.
