Ticket prices vs A&M

[canesmang1]

How is are these prices acceptable? am I tripping? Seat geek has same tickets for A 3rd of the price.

 

[The U is back to work]

Get in price with fees over $100 right now

TAMU -7.5

The over: 47.5

The only semi-positive thing I’ll say about Blake James, is that he was generally too lazy to raise ticket prices

I think the AD switched their preferred ticket partner to SeatGeek instead of StubHub. I noticed when selling my tickets (it was routing me to seatgeek instead of StubHub).

So there are more available tickets on SeatGeek which brings the price down. StubHub is more expensive because there is less supply and more demand on that platform.

What did the actual attendance look like Friday night?

Best guesses for this coming Saturday? Packed or close to it?

A&M travels well. Really well. Should be sold out.

Now whether it feels like a home game or a neutral site game is another question.

official number was 49k+ so like 75%, lower bowl was decently filled.. Uppers was pick your seat night but it was a better crowd than expected, there was no hype like last year leading into the season

Was surprised by the 2nd quarter a lot more arrived ... believe the heavy rains kept some people away earlier. In spite of the rain I would say over 40,000 "ish". I would expect over 50,000 for A&M ... maybe 55K or even more.

Didnt some airline add direct flight from college station? Either way we have this convo all the time (fsu games, UF last time, etc.), it will feel like a home game, lets be serious. Atleast 80%

That's good to know.

I've never bought tickets from a secondary outlet.

Is it better to move early or wait close(r) to kickoff?

Ah this makes sense then because about 2 hours before kickoff there were legit 4 total sections with ANY tickets left then the stadium had 15k empty seats

I complained... its just stupid... I got club level seats in the first couple of rows for 325 a piece and that includes the fees. The same section on Miami's site is 675 a piece. More than 2xs what I paid.

Have to close that SEC, B1G money gap somehow.

 

[davidb1]

Make that money.!!!!

You’re buying someone else’s tickets. It’s not stupid. It’s the way resale works. Prices are higher than primary if there is a market there. Lower when the market is trash. There was low demand for this game.

What is it that people don’t get about this?

When we have a home game that is in very high demand, let’s say like Notre Dame 2017, are people going to complain because Miami’s selling the tickets on their own site too cheap?

No clue honestly. I would imagine this game won't be crazy enough in demand to create too much of a shift in pricing between now and game time.

Maybe see a slight bump up or down but probably nothing insane.

No Miami's ticket prices are so outrageously high that resellers can't even get half the price their asking for. That means they are way out of touch with the actual value of the tickets. Which hurts their ability to sell out. If Tesla doubled the price of their cars and you were invested in Tesla would you care?
