Selling those upper deck seats for $300 a pop is a bold choice by the school. They're going to have to drop those on the secondary market. I don't know who does the ticket pricing and promotions/marketing at Miami but my impression has been it's terrible.

Can this school stop being so ******* cheap. Lower the price and sell this ***** out. Making us look like a joke

They think they can charge '17 prices but they dont have the hype of an undefeated season to go with it. Fairweather have been skepitcal the entire Mario era -- the TAMU crowd in '23 was shocking.

Pricing was also insane for the A&M game. Our fans are used to being able to snag a last minute $50 ticket to just about any game and the nosebleeds for A&M were around $150 if I remember correctly - coming off a 5-7 season.

They priced themselves out of a better atmosphere for that game. I guess they haven't learned.

That being said... I checked and there are almost no tickets left. It's maybe a few hundred nosebleeds up for grabs in a 65k stadium.

I'm sure the school did the math and realized that they make more money selling 80% of the tickets at crazy prices than 100% at reasonable prices, but they're pricing out the hometown fans. It's ridiculous.

just like the rest of the area. its overpriced for the average annual salary of the residents.
 
I’ve got two in 131 row 2. They are posted online but would be happy to get rid of them without the fees. Dm if interested.

the university doesn’t do anything different than other schools.

And that's a problem.

We're a 12,000 student school in one of the most exciting and entertainment-heavy cities in the country.

And we're treating it like we're the only show in town. We're not in Tuscaloosa or South Bend where there's nothing else to do on a Saturday, and our alumni base from an already-small student body is all over the world. We can't price out the people in the city that want to go cheer on the local team.

Typical overreaction. Probably a few hundred ( a good portion of which are probably nosebleeds) seats left and you guys are acting like there are going to be significant areas of empty seats. It’s not going to happen. HR will be rocking.

Most of the tickets they released were for season ticket packages that didn’t sell out in time so instead of holding them to create a bundle they’re releasing them because they know how few of season tickets they will sell between now and Sunday.

The prices are expensive, but they’re not disproportionate for college sports and I’m sorry they’re just not when you factor in the donation level and you can’t start undercutting people who donated as well and I know that that sucks. There should be a better way of doing it, but you’re screwed either way - both Miami and fans with the dynamics of the marketplace, trying not to ***** over season ticket holders, trying to fill all the seats and trying to pay players.

We should still sell out the ******* game. It’s the ******* Irish. I don’t care what the excuses are. There are very few teams in the country that whatever ever their challenges or aptitude have been would not have a top 10 game on week one on Sunday night sold out.

And yes, even in a crappy economy for a lot of people and I’m not minimizing that.

**** those leprechaun mother****ers

Yep I spent a ridiculous amount on the A&M game ahead of time thinking it’d be a good turn out, just to snag much better $30 seats 20 minutes before kick off.

We’ll see what the market does the next few days. Currently awful end zone corner nosebleed at $240 on secondary market. If demand is weak those will come down. Dont know if UM dumps some of their unsold on secondary market. They aren’t going to lower their published prices because will **** off too many earlier buyers.
