Interesting.  I'm used to baseball tickets being priced according to seating area of course, but had a notion CFB was just the same everywhere but the luxos.

Maybe not, I have not bought a game ticket at the box office ever.

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.
Correct, for UW at least.

Prices also depend on timing of buying tickets. I’ve found that if a ticket is $100 when put up for sale in Jan or Feb:

1. The price gradually dips, reaching it’s lowest point in June/July at about $70-$80.

2. In August, with the anticipation of the season picking up, prices will return to near original value.

3. But like buying very last minute airfare, tickets can drop up to half ($50) the day or two before, depending on availability of course.

4. In season ticket prices take on their own life, dropping or rising depending on the success or failure of a season. Back when Notre Dame went 4-8 in 2016 I bought $200 seats for only $75 for a November home game Vs Virginia Tech.

Secondary market seats do vary wildly with time, but I was thinking box office prices would be fixed.

Plus the individual game tickets for Purdue didn't even go on sale until yesterday.

I remember the days where you couldn't get tickets unless you were a student/faculty or a big time donor. All you had was scalping tickets. Occasionally for the Low end non-conference games before the students got back you could buy tickets directly.

Responding to the original post:

I checked the U of Iowa online ticket office for single game tickets. This message is found:

Single game tickets for all 2019 home games will become available for the following groups beginning at 9:00am central on each of the dates below:
  • July 5: Kinnick Society Gold & Kinnick Society
  • July 8: Champion Hawk & Golden Hawk
  • July 9:: All Other I-Club Members & Current Season Ticket Holders
Single game tickets for all home games, except Penn State, will become available to the general public beginning at 9:00am central on July 18, 2019. If available, tickets for Penn State will go on sale to the general public beginning at 9:00am central on August 1, 2019.

When I was researching the Purdue@Nevada game I noticed that Nevada doesn't sell single-game tickets until July 10.

I'm guessing for a lot of these schools, they have enough visibility into season ticket sales that they can hold off on single game tickets. Purdue is still just stepping out of a half-decade of terror--not to mention the fact that geography doesn't favor Purdue being 2 hrs from Chicago and >1 hr from Indy, so maybe Purdue isn't there yet.

If you don't mind, can you check on July 18 to figure out what sort of prices Iowa is able to charge? I'd expect it to be more similar to Purdue than OSU ticket prices...

Prices vary each game for individual game tickets at Iowa. For the Ohio State game Iowa won in 2017 by 55-24, it was not a sell out because (a) the stadium was not sold out on season tickets, (b) not enough Ohioans bought tickets from the University of Iowa, and (c) the individual game tickets were overpriced at $95.

There was very little hope amongst the fanbase that Iowa could actually win that game. The University of Iowa reached for the sky on that 2017 Ohio State game, and found Iowans were not biting on blue sky prices.

Actually, those are pretty good prices for the type of seats. I'd happily pay $195 for a club seat to see UW play there.

FWIW:
I just bought two tickets to the Wisconsin at Ohio State game on October 26 and paid $296 total for them.  That includes all ticketmaster feels and charges.  Thus, the Wisconsin tickets cost me a total of $148 each and that does NOT include the fact that you have to be a member of the Alumni Association to even be eligible to buy them.  I do not know the annual Alumni Association fee because my dad bought me a lifetime membership for graduation years ago so I've never had to pay a fee.

Last year, single game tickets became available July 19 for tickets returned from opponents.  They will be the pastries in the main.  I doubt Notre Dame returns many unbought tickets, ha.  It will be interesting to see how many of their fans make the trip.  I wish I had gone in 2017, but when prices were $400 folks said they would go down, and they went to $700.  Too rich for me.

I hope the Dawg fans treat them as well as ND fans treated us, but all accounts.
