If you want to buy single-game tickets from the university box office, what's the max cost?I would agree with you. That is absurdly cheap.
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?
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.

Cable TV isn't looking so bad now, is it?
Responding to the original post:When I was researching the Purdue@Nevada game I noticed that Nevada doesn't sell single-game tickets until July 10.
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: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.
- July 5: Kinnick Society Gold & Kinnick Society
- July 8: Champion Hawk & Golden Hawk
- July 9:: All Other I-Club Members & Current Season Ticket Holders
When I was researching the Purdue@Nevada game I noticed that Nevada doesn't sell single-game tickets until July 10.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.
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...
You guys are lucky.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.

How much does it cost total to go to a movie theater these days? Our symphony tickets have a list price of $110 each. What about a play or concert?I typically only go to the fancy movie theater any more, unless it's a kids movie and we take the kids, in which case it's the normal theater. At the fancy theater I think it works out to ~$22/ticket. At the normal theaters I'm thinking it's about $15 for an adult (don't recall for a child).

Holds roughly 250. Seniors $3, children $3, adults $4. Free popcorn night. How is that for a deal?

I'd wait and watch it at home in a couple yearsAlso true. We don't go to many movies. Very few are compelling enough to see in the theaters anyway.
I'd gladly pay $22 to not have to sit in a room with 250 seniors and children. :72:In a town of 5,000, it is what we have, and it is a good deal. They just want to keep the theatre open, and have people coming. Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. they actually had a free matinee, "Hotel for Dogs," to keep the kids occupied, and hopefully off their smart phones a couple hours. And, it wasn't a merchant movie. Just a free movie offered by the theatre. They have "onscreen sponsors" so maybe its legal. The free movie is 10-years old.

These are what is left over after season tickets are sold. So generally . . . visitor tickets in the east stands upper corners and bottom corners. And some seats scattered in endzones. And I have had some of these in about row 68 or 69 at the 10-yard line. Not the most desirable, but it is Kinnick Stadium. It is a cozy stadium; everything is compact.
These prices seat seat you where? The nosebleeds? End zones?

I think I know what you are talking about here. When I buy MLB tickets for the White Sox, the prices seem to vary based on the game and ticket demand for that game. Speaking only for what I have seen at Iowa, I have never seen Iowa change ticket prices for a game like Ohio State. When they set it at $95 and even though they are not selling out, they don't lower prices to sell the last few.
For those in the know, do the prices of tickets bought directly from the athletic department ever fluctuate? Save for alumni perks through buying Arizona tickets through their Athletic Department, the rest of my 4 to 5 purchases every year are done on the secondary market - stubhub, seatgeek, etc.
I’m guessing that if the prices through school fluctuate it’s not with the wider variance you see on the secondary market. For example if Minnesota tanks maybe the home tickets Vs Iowa or Nebraska remain about the same because their Athletic Department can better market what’s unsold to visiting Iowa and Nebraska fans, unlike the secondary market?
younger and real fans w/o large pockets deserve to experience the atmosphere
Since we’re on the subject about attendance and other fans, here’s what Coach Pat Fitzgerald has to say at Big Ten media days: "The way a lot of younger people and younger fans intake is all through technology. You watch a concert and everybody’s holding their phone up. Listen! Watch! Take it in! Create a memory. They don’t go back and watch the videos. They just want to post it on their social media, which is pathetic because it creates a society of ‘Look at me! Isn’t my life great?’ Even though when they go home they’re like ‘I hate myself. I hate my life. Everything’s wrong.’ I think it’s a big cause. I think it’s the root cause."
I 100% agree he has a point and it goes way beyond football attendance. The advent of our phone addictions changes our behavior in ways we don’t even realize.
I am a concert goer and this does drive me bonkers, thankfully I'm tall, and this isn't me being mad about obstruction. This is the moment to enjoy the show, there's never been a clip of a show viewed again from a smartphone that sounds or looks worth a damn. Apparently many other folks are not wired this way. I do believe I'm guilty of taking a few still shots, but only when I'm standing/sitting up close to the stage.About 9 years ago, I went to the funeral of one of my students, who had been killed in the most stupid motorcycle accident you can imagine. The church was full of her schoolmates--and they were so busy taking pictures with their phones that they cannot have comprehended much about what was going on in the service.

... People only show their "best life" on social media, so when you see all the people around you, you see only the best bits of their life …I tend to think, more often than not, that the most active people on social media are those whose lives suck in reality.
I tend to think, more often than not, that the most active people on social media are those whose lives suck in reality.you do know that this board is "Social Media"?
Speaking for me... There is too much "real" conversation, fun, and too much else going on to log onto book face (or whatever) to show the world what I'm up to. I can't imagine even considering grabbing my phone (I don't carry it around - I actually hate it, other than using it as a … PHONE) to take a picture and then post something while I'm at a party or wherever.
Screw that. Enjoy the moment and skip the phone.
you do know that this board is "Social Media"?To a degree it is, sure. But, we have "real" conversations here, and we know who we are.
you do know that this board is "Social Media"?That's true, to an extent, but only because an existing thing (internet message boards) got folded into the definition of "social media" when the concept was invented.
