Scalpers

Heard a couple outside before the OSU game Thursday night. I am sure they will be out Saturday morning. Just bought 2 tix in section MM row 10 off stubhub for more then I should have. But I love this team. And it puts me close to Old Man Garza.
Scalping has been very, very tough for weekend games.
heck I couldn’t even scalp up at the Barn...literally zero sellers outside.

Minnesota’s prices were ridiculous too. $90 for good to decent seats. $60 for bleacher seats and $45 for obstructed view and end seating. I get they jack their Iowa prices up, but damn.
I wish Iowa would price their seats according to location. But having experienced that pricing in Minnesota, I’ll lay low about bitching about the Hawkeyes’ for a while.

but all of the seats in carver are pretty similar, at least those that are for sale through the ticket office. I paid $45 to sit behind a pole at the barn last weekend.
Just a word of advice. Ticket prices always go down closer to the game time. There are season ticket holders just throwing a crazy price out there to see if someone will bite.
My advice, check the prices the morning of the game. If the ticket seller really wants to sell, you will get them for well under $100 per seat.
This year is pretty different. I think the hassle of weekday game has created extreme demand for weekend games which is awesome. I’ve sold my season tickets on Stubhub so I track demand and pricing and almost all tickets are gone by game time, without a huge drop.
another interesting thing I noticed is that some sellers own huge blocks of tickets on the ends. They have like 16 or 20 tickets for sale, but they are not great seats.
11:00 games can be a challenge as people arent getting there real early, but you can usually find people with extras at Old Chicago, The Vine or Wig. You're going to be paying a lot for that game. I saw scalpers charging $85 a ticket vs Nebraska two weeks ago. I got three vs Purdue through the ticket office for $66...one child, two adults. The benefits of living close to IC.
Could those large blocks of tickets actually be the University Ticket office selling through a re-seller app?
I don’t know why they would pay them to do that when they can just sell through the website.
