If the scenario I offered comes true which an undefeated 9-0 Iowa hosts an undefeated Michigan, how much would you sell your ticket for?




*Please note this is not a "looking for tickets thread", I am not looking, or selling. I'm just offering a quality sh** post to get us through the offseason.

Assuming I can't go and buy a cheaper ticket after I sell mine, I would say I would have to get at least $1000 for it.
 
I don't think I would. It would take ~$5,000 for me, and I don't think anyone would be offering up that much for seats on the 5 yard line.
 
How about we flip it around? Let's say both teams are 9-0 and you're like me, without a ticket to that game?

What would you pay?

I already realize I wouldn't get hit on this offer, but I'd probably pay $200 and that's as high as I'd go. Would rather save the money for the B1G championship.
 
If I already had the ticket I do not know if I would sell it for any reasonable amount. If we got into a couple thousand dollars......it would be hard to turn that kind of money down.

I would have this hypothetical person sell their ticket to me for $5, so that I could go to the game and they could spend that money on a beer............worth it.

Mine would be free...right after you pried it from my cold, dead hand. I haven't missed a home game since 1998 and not about to start this year...unless I'm dead.

Which newspaper do we watch for the obit?
 
I remember scalpers getting a lot for the '85 game when it was #1 vs #2. If both teams are at 9-0, both should be ranked in the Top 10 or higher. BAsed on what tickets then were going for, this would fetch twice as much. By the way, I had a ticket for that '85 game.
 
I'll let you suckers throw your money down the drain, I'll watch from home with a case of beer, a few friends and my dog. I'm not willing to pay more than $80 per ticket to any Iowa game.

Note when I say throw your money down the drain, it's not that I think Iowa would lose and it would be a waste of your money. I can just think of a hell of a lot more I'd like to do with $300 - $500 than sit outside for 3 hours.

I'm with you I don't throw my money away. However some people have more dollars then sense.
 
I think I paid $180 each for my Rose Bowl tickets. I will not be selling any of my season tickets. If I were buying, I would probably look at paying $150-$200.
 
In '06, I had to miss the Iowa-OSU game for a wedding. Before the season I promised friends I would sell my (2) tix for face value...FML. I could've at least recouped the total cost for both season tix in that game alone!

FWIW, outside of death or an incapacitating injury, I will be in attendance for Iowa-Mich, regardless of each team's records.

Top 5 showdown in Kinnick in November. It'll be more than $300.

We'll see. Undefeated season last year, Minnesota, rival, in town, enormous wrestling meet in morning, gorgeous weather.

Sure, this year is different, but you overestimate the Iowa ticket market. Unless you are thinking outside people are buying the tickets, is Michigan going to come flooding in?

Lol, "sit[ting] outside" appears to be the problem for you. Enjoy your life.

But it is kind of a tautology. If the scalping market for my tickets is $500 each, then the hype for the game would be off the charts. #1 Michigan vs. #2 Iowa, with CJB leading the general Heisman polls, etc.

Whatever the hype is that drives up the ticket market, the hype will be getting to me. I'm a huge Iowa football fan. I will want to be there, and that is valuable to me.

Whoa there! Like last season, he simply won't have the "numbers" to even be considered for the Heisman... if I had told you before 2015 that Iowa would go undefeated and wouldn't have an individual 1000 yard rusher, wouldn't you have thought CJ would at least get an NYC invite?

So then the value of your ticket is high. Yeah, maybe you wouldn't sell it for 500, but maybe for 5,000?

Guys this isn't a "my ticket is priceless" answer type of question.

The question is "How much would someone have to offer you to sell it?"

I think you are correct, but for many this has become a "dick measuring contest" to prove who the best fans are.

I don't think CJB has any real shot at the Heisman, I was simply concocting an extreme scenario to send the IA/UM ticket prices through the roof.

I guess I would sell it for $5000 and buy a different one on stubhub for $150.
 
We have 4 season tickets (not terrific seats, but on the west sideline). There are three of us going to just about every game, with a fourth going when he's able. Under the above scenario, if we had just two or three of us going, I'd sell the extra(s) for face value to a friend, $100 each to a casual acquaintance, or $200 to somebody on the street. If a Michigan fan wanted to buy one, I'd probably ask $500 (and not expect it to sell). If I was asked to sell my own seat, and not an extra, then I'll probably accept $500 if offered. I don't know that I'd take anything less for what could be a historic game.

Not for sale. I missed the '85 game. Mom made me go to Saturday night mass. Was 11 years old and there was no negotiating. God forbid we go to church on Sunday.

Dude I spent Y2K eve at Blessed Sacrament in Waterloo when I was 10. That's a Rose Bowl victory compared to your story. I hope you also changed religions.
 
I'd sell my two tickets for the exact price I paid for them. I've never believed in trying to capitalize off my Hawk tickets. I would just be happy to see another Hawk fan enjoy them. I used to have season tickets for 10 seasons. Now I just attend a few games here and there and Michigan is one of those games. I think I paid about $120 or so per ticket ... Soo ... to answer the OP - I would sell my tickets for $120 apiece.
 
This scenario almost played out in 2009, what was Mich's record that year going into the night game in Kinnick? The group I was with was all for trying to get $150-$200 ticket and watching at the local pub. Me, not so much, you can always make more $$$ but not experiences. And, as luck would've have it, it was a helluva game, clinched by a Greenwood INT at the end. I think Forcier (QB Force!) was knocked out and the converted WR came in to take snaps and threw about as good as me.

I paid more than that 10 years ago for the OSU game. I do think outside people are going to come flooding in but they aren't Mich fans. They're Hawk fans that live across the country.

That certainly was a big one, first night game in a long time. Lot of fake tickets scalped that day, so yours were probably well worth it.

Denard Robinson finished that one, a lot of people nervous in the stands because he kept getting first downs - but it was simply wasting time, then threw that int.
