Title: tickets to Big Ten title game
Post by: jhetfield99 on November 26, 2022, 10:18:53 AM
I probably shouldn't be posting this just before I make the hour drive to Gloomington, but are all tix already sold out for Lucas Oil Stadium and you have to buy everything via secondary market?
(So it's like the NCAA tourney Regionals).

Or do the 2 schools in it get like 10 to 15k each to distribute?

Each school gets around 12k or so.    There are some seats remaining for sale.   Ticket master is the distributor for the game. 

I've bought on secondary market all but one time.

I would bet scalping a ticket the evening of the game would be your best bang for your buck

Much harder to find human beings selling printed tickets these days.  Last paper ticket buy I did for this was UW v PSU.

Just forked out $580 a ticket for 20 yard line row 11.

Pretty sure they were from a Buckeye selling his tickets through Seatgeek.

Hope he at least made some money.  About the only thing that went positive for him today.

Pricey.  I haven't paid more than $125 to sit in lower two levels in the 10 games I've attended.   I'm waiting for later in week to pull trigger.

Cheapest I was seeing was in the nosebleed sections for about $250 or in the end-zone upper corners for $150.

Is this just in terms of common human behavior patterns?

Seat geek at times publishes data on cfp ticket prices and the highest prices for tickets is during the 24hrs following the schedule being set.    I would argue the CCG price trends are the same.  Based on my 12 years of shopping this game.   Iowa v Michigan St was always the toughest ticket relative to others .  I was out of it last year so didn't pay close attention to Michigan v Iowa .  I suspect it was on the higher end.

Similarly. The CFP final last year, once halftime of the Orange Bowl hit, prices fell off a cliff, once it was obvious both Cincy and Michigan would not be in Indy for the finals.   Will be interesting to see how cfp finals tickets price given USCs possible appearance. 

Here you have newbie Purdue in game, everyone comes out of the woodwork to check it out.
