looking for 2 tickets to the big ten championship game
- Thread starter rock'n hawk 71
- Start date
Ohio State fans are going to start dumping their tickets and hotel rooms now.
Should be a buyer's market.

I am waiting on the ticket office to get something out. A buddy of mine sent in a request for me (he can't go) and they have had tickets for 20+ years and his parents donate a bunch to the university. I keep texting him asking if his parents have heard anything and they said no.
His dad is a little upset by this (he can't go either) but he wants me to get tickets to the game. Said that most ticket offices would have something out late last night or today to fans. So they could start making plans to attend the game.

Again, cause people don't like to listen to me on this, the university is gonna take a huge chunk for itself. Think of it tickets for all players family and friends, all other athletic people, all university administrators. All big time donors then are gonna get free tickets for them and their families. Then they are gonna have to hold a block for just students.
It wouldn't shock me if the university uses up 5K+ for internal use. Now schools get 15K for the BIG title game, which sounds like a lot, but then realize that Kinnick seats 70K.
So there will be few from the university, and they have no reason to rush. They can take a day or two to make sure all its people are taken care off. Then they can announce on Tuesday the policy for what's ever left and start selling them Wednesday. That still gives Hawk fans more days to buy tickets than the East Champions through the school and plan to attend the game.
The email my buddies dad got stated they only get 10,000 for fans and they were using the point system. His dad seems to think that since they donate and have been ticket holders for so long they should get them. He's just upset that they haven' heard anything.
Again they haven't heard anything because there is no rush for the university. They can make sure to take care of the right people first. Then put them out on Wednesday or so. That still give Iowa fans 10 days compared to 5 for MSU/OSU/Michigan.
Well if that's the case I will buy my tickets through stub hub and say screw the ticket office. I don't want to wait and find out that they didn't get them because some water boy's dad got their tickets on Wednesday when there are tons of tickets on stub hub.
No I mean they will go to the public wednesday. You'll know that day whether you got them through the university as I imagine its allotment will go quickly.
I'm curious as to why prices would be coming down at this stage. Demand, at least from Iowa fans, just went through the roof. Whoever else makes it to the game will be scrambling for tickets, too. If anything, I'd imagine prices would be going up from this point onward, at least until maybe very shortly before the game, but by then tickets will be very picked over.
Were you thinking demand might go down due to tOSU fans dumping their tickets? I suppose that could be, but there will be plenty of Iowa and other fans ready to snatch them up. I'd like to see prices coming down (well, at least for other fans, as we've already bough ours) but am struggling to find an economic reason why they would.
Because a big chunk of tickets has been put on the secondary market yet. When markets get flooded with a product price comes down, even with demand. (i mean just look at the secondary sites there is nothing below 300 sections and that is not cause Iowa fans snapped them up).
I've bought tickets to the World series, all star games, bowls, final fours etc. Never seen a secondary market with that big of open swatches in a stadium, which leads me to believe those tickets haven't hit the market yet.
Yday before Ohio State lost there were 4800 tix on stubhub. Now there is over 6K Tix on stubhub and getin prices are almost half as much. If Iowa were to lose to neb prices will fall even more as we are basically eliminated from the playoffs. MSU winning the east would offer the cheapest market as well. It's gonna be a buyers market for sure. Tickets on the Iowa side may be hot if we best neb but if you are not picky you should be fine waiting it out.
Interesting info -- thanks. Good thing we just bought ours and surely paid too much!
Thank you for the great support this season! Unfortunately, due to a large demand for the Big Ten Football Championship we are unable to fill your request for any tickets. We had requests for over 16,000 tickets and our allotment is 10,000 seats at Lucas Oil Stadium. The priority points breakoff was at 103 points for receiving tickets from our allotment. Your point total is 99
The Big Ten Conference is expecting to announce a sell out for this event, the primary market place is at www.ticketmaster.com . Their preferred secondary sales vehicle is atwww.vividseats.com but you may also find tickets at www.stubhub.com . I do not know at this point what the secondary market for tickets will be, but it does fluctuate based on many factors. Below this note, there is a map of Lucas Oil Stadium and a listing of which sections are assigned to Iowa for the game.
Again, we apologize that we are unable to fill your request for the Big Ten Football Playoff Tickets but we truly appreciate your support the past season! Additional Post-Season ticket information will follow this week.

How in the world is Iowa demand going to increase? We've known we were in the West driver's seat since October 3rd. It's not like this is some kind of new development. People have been looking for tickets and planning trips since the Northwestern game.
OSU fans I'm sure bought a ton of these things as it's a very easy drive for them and I'm sure they thought it was a foregone conclusion that they would be there. You also had some Michigan fans that I'm sure were holding out hope.
Demand can only go down from here, not increase. You will not have 2 undefeated teams, guaranteed, and this game has never sold out before, not even once.
Yeah there will not be any public seats sold from the univ on wed. Ppl are already getting denied from their priority requests.
Seriously? Iowa clinched a berth in the championship game yesterday. I'd say that's a pretty new development. Sure, they were favored to beat Purdue, but it wasn't a lock until literally hours ago. I'm sure lots of Iowa fans waited to buy tickets until it was a sure thing.
Demand for Iowa fans is huge, and I don't expect that to change any time soon. Of course, it will decline as the game approaches to some degree, but tickets will also obviously be getting bought up, as well.
As for the opponent, demand will certainly skyrocket among their fans once the opponent is decided. That's a pretty good reason for demand to be increasing soon.
Buddy just called. They didn't get tickets! Said they had 16,000 requests and only 10,000 allotted.
His dad was upset, but nothing they could do.
Looks like were scalping tickets in Indy
Meh, the tickets you always get through the university are crap anyway.
Then Iowa fans are the dumbest group of idiots on the planet, since we've been the heavy favorites to represent the West for 8 weeks now.
You have to have a pretty low opinion of the fanbase to think people are stupid enough to wait this long to start making plans. Everyone that I know has been talking about it for weeks now. But you're probably right, people just woke up this morning, turned to each other and said: "Let's go to Indy!"
You are also throwing around the term "skyrocket" pretty freely. This game has never sold out, not one time, and MSU would be making their 3rd appearance in 5 years. I highly doubt they will be nearly as jack-up as you think, especially when they will have less than 7 full days to make plans to attend.
I really don't get why everyone waited so long. We were nearly guaranteed the Indy game weeks ago, and I'm glad I bought tickets then.
And OP, there's literally an entire thread for ticket exchange, so stop spamming this board.

A friend of mine just went online tonight and got tickets right behind the "Iowa Sections" for 150 a ticket. I think he said section 533 or something like that. Sucks to pay that much, but oh well. I am sure demand will go up if MSU clinches this weekend.
Plus rumor is there are going to be tons of Iowa fans in Indy.

What gave that last part away? The fact that they had 16K requests for 10K tickets?
That and apparently a friend of mine in Chicago said that basically every Iowa fan in Chicago is wanting to go to Indianapolis. Said he was watching the Purdue game at an Iowa bar in Chicago and everyone was trying to get tickets after Saturdays game.
It was a joke. there's no rumor here. It's a known fact that Iowa fans are flocking to this game. I live a long way from the majority of the fan base and even I knew this.
Sorry bout that. Yeah I think Indy is going to be taken over by hawk fans! Its gonna be great!
Now I just hope they take care of business this Friday!
