Why did ticket prices go up for UVa? Anyone know?

Face value was $150 for lower level end zone, now theyre $215. Club levels were $200 now $230 and upper level $60 now $83. What the hell is going on? And there's still thousands unsold, I've monitored this since they went on sale, and tickets aren't selling at all. So why the huge increase? I'm really quite sick of Ticketmaster. Is ticketmaster drunk?
I snagged 2 in row A of 337 with a parking pass. All in was 275. Now just for the tickets alone are now 345.....anyways, my dad backed out bc of the noon kick so if you want mine you can have them @OrngeJuiceJones for what I gave if you decide to go down brother.

Some of you are simply buying way too early. I’ve had much success over the past few years waiting until the week of and hitting tickpick or stubhub and walking away with deals because secondhand sellers don’t wanna eat them.

Last year, I purchased UGA- UT tix the day of and I paid $75 a pop for mid level in Sanford.

That super hot Florida ticket last year that sky rocketed and people were paying nut prices for, I purchased 3 days before for $100 a piece.

I have so many more examples not only for football games, but top tickets to concerts and etc. Quit buying off of Ticketmaster and be patient. It will pay off.

I like watching the Vols at Nissan Stadium.
Easier to navigate and better bathroom access makes the wife extremely happy.
Plus the seats are easier on the rear, and practically a home field.
It is no Neyland, but the next best thing.

If there are still lots available a month or 5 weeks from now the prices might come down. A butt in a seat at any price is better than no butt at all

Lot F is across the street from the stadium. For Titan home games, my parking pass is in E, across from F and we have staff directing traffic in and out. Also there is police directing traffic to cross the street to stadium.

I agree whole heartedly in your approach. I do the same for events I am able to implement this strategy. When you have a 70 year old father who is grumpy as hell and won't go to a game unless I pay early, and ensure he has an easy in and out. That's the only reason I had to go this route.

Yes! Thank you for the info again! I knew someone had given me info awhile ago. Is the front row of 300 level a decent view or too far away in your opinion?

The game will end up being sold out. No ifs, ands, or buts. Unfortunately, with how things are right now, a lot of folks have to wait. They can’t afford to invest money for something months down the road.
Doubt it sells out. 57000 to 62000. UVa fans don't travel, hell they don't even go to their own games

Anytime an event involves UT, they know our fans are rabid animals and will pony up for tickets. They know we won't say no and show up.

@DC_Vol nailed it. They're now showing the "all-in" price. So you were going to pay that amount regardless after fees.

And no, TM is not drunk, they know exactly what they're doing. It is the folks buying tickets to concerts and sporting events that will pay hundreds or even thousands more for a marginally better/closer/whatever seat that are making this hard for everyone else.
Yay capitalism

I agree with being patient about buying tickets to this game. Give it some time. There's better outlets that you can use than Ticketmaster. I know that all too well. Very expensive.I wouldn't go and would rather watch it on TV.,but I get it if you're a huge fan of UT and ready for college football. With Virginia going 2-8 last year,nobody will have to worry about many of their fans being there. They'll be better teams they'll play,but I guess it's a good "neutral home" game to get out the kinks.

If you are talking about the secondary market, about 9 out of 10 times they'll get the cheapest they get at some point 96 hours or so before the game. The exception is a game that is unexpectedly a good match up due to teams outperforming expectations.
