Unbelievable ticket prices for basketball

[OJJ]

I just got on ticketmaster to buy two tickets as a gift for the Arkansas game at home. I was appalled to see the price. What in the hell is going on here? This is face value.

 

[OJJ]

This is insane and more than football. I'm so mad at UT maybe I'm just drunk. But so are these prices.

Agree man

 

[bleedingTNorange]

1. That’s not face value.
2. Check out StubHub, they’re starting at $25.

It’s not UT. It’s bots that buy up every ticket they can to immediately resell at 150%.

That's a blue seat. Not a resale seat.

That's a blue seat. Red seats are resale. This is insane.

Says "standard admission"

Going to a sporting event is starting to feel like a luxurious affair after you pay for parking, merch, gas and food and drinks in addition to the tickets.

Called supply and demand.

I don’t know how you done it but I went through UTSports.com and it directed me to UT Ticketmaster sits and I got lower prices than you for lower levels. You can find uppers all day on ticket master for $26 though the school.

But if you get one of those big souvenir tubs they sell popcorn in, you can fit a whole lot of whatever in it

Wait a minute, you’re upset that a third party resale site is selling tickets for a likely Top-10 matchup above face value? You need to lay off the juice. This isn’t on the university.

I paid $40 a piece for Miss St on 1/3 for 6. Gotta shop early. This is the cost of being a premier program

Hopefully we can get some government intervention to fix this free market problem.

The short answer is to stop buying tickets period!!!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I know Ticketmaster is in some hot water over concert tickets. I wonder if this is a similar situation?

This isn't a third party resale.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

That's a blue seat. Red seats are resale. This is insane.

I don’t think you understand how this works

 

[bleedingTNorange]

This isn't a third party resale.

Someone just posted screenshots for you from UT’s website of available tickets starting at $27

 

[GBO18]

OP if you are cheap don’t pick seats in the lower bowl. Plenty of cheaper options up top.

 

[OJJ]

I don’t think you understand how this works

I absolutely understand, how do you not? Red seats are verified resale, blue are standard admission. So why is it this expensive? Yeah I see the cheap seats and cheaper ones downstairs.

 

[OJJ]

Same seat vs Vandy $90.. standard admission not verified resale.
