Do you expect ticket prices to drop for Saturday?
I plan on driving down to Indy. I'm willing to wait until kickoff time to buy the tickets. The cheapest tickets seem to be going for $400 after fees. Do you think I'll be able to get anything for $200 if I wait until kickoff to buy? Also, when do they officially stop selling tickets on StubHub? Is it at kickoff or later?
November 30th, 2021 at 1:27 PM ^
Yes. Also, maybe?? Or potentially no.
Book it
November 30th, 2021 at 4:18 PM ^
I use Stubhub regularly. The two things to watch are the price (obviously) and the number of tickets available. I checked early this morning and there were about 2100, at noon 2300 and currently 2475. Price has come down slightly. My strategy is to continue to monitor the tickets available. Once they get scarce, then the price will obviously increase. Right now, this is Econ 201, the demand has been reset with the Michigan fanbase and the supply is increasing. Ergo, price will continue to drop.
Most importantly, buying now is overpaying OSU fans for the loss. I will happily pay them for my tickets, but no need to send them a big fat check. I would wait and check back in a few times per day. One other thing to keep in mind is whether you want mobile or paper. The paper will need to ship by Thursday or Friday, so those will drop well before game time obviously.

Bite the bullet. Buy the tickets now.

Yeah, they've steadily gone up. The closer you get the smaller the supply, and you might end up in a bar.
November 30th, 2021 at 1:54 PM ^
Not necessarily true. Ohio State fans are sitting on tickets because they thought they would be going. They are the ones that have spiked the market, but come Friday and Saturday if they have not sold there will be a drop. This is because they will fear not recouping their money.
November 30th, 2021 at 1:28 PM ^
Tough to say. With this being Michigan's first trip fans are very very hungry. Add in that many buckeyes purchased tickets early in the season assuming they were going and are now either refusing to sell to spite Michigan fans or selling at outrageous prices.
November 30th, 2021 at 2:36 PM ^
Register for Buckeye fan boards with a name like "Hawkeye4Life" and offer to buy tickets.
November 30th, 2021 at 3:36 PM ^
You're living in 2051...Great Idea
November 30th, 2021 at 11:16 PM ^
We tried that and didn’t get a bite lol
November 30th, 2021 at 3:46 PM ^
I'm going. I bought 2 tickets for $800 each and I don't care.
November 30th, 2021 at 1:28 PM ^
I doubt it. They've been going up in price every day/hour. And since we've never been to this game (and Iowa only going once), I don't expect it to get any better.
November 30th, 2021 at 1:30 PM ^
Cheapest tix seem to be going for $500 after fees. They may drop to like $300-$400 after fees on Saturday right before kickoff but probably not more. This the first time we’re going to the Big Ten title game, I don’t think many Michigan fans will be offloading the tix they’ve already bought. And Michigan fans will pay anything to get in for this experience.
November 30th, 2021 at 2:44 PM ^
I'm cheap as hell and I looked up ticket prices immediately after the game so that I could drive 8 hours and see the game Saturday night. Tickets were already sky high so I figured I'd watch it at home and save $1,000 (Tickets, gas, hotel, etc.).
I also immediately looked up National Championship ticket prices. They were even worse.
November 30th, 2021 at 3:21 PM ^
I live 45 minutes from Lucas oil. I really wanted to go to both both that would cost me over $3000 for the big ten championship and national championship and they’re not even good seats. Right now the cheapest national championship tickets are $1200. And you know if Michigan makes it ticket prices will go up.
November 30th, 2021 at 1:32 PM ^
I highly doubt it since Michigan has not been to the game before and Wolverine nation expects to win this game.
November 30th, 2021 at 1:32 PM ^
Hell, the five tickets together I bought Saturday are now listed for $400 more per ticket, before fees, in a neighboring section as of yesterday. I am tempted to make a couple of grand and check the scalpers at the end of the first quarter.
November 30th, 2021 at 1:32 PM ^
At around 11pm Saturday tickets will be very cheap.

Good thing the game is in a dome. Look to be nice tailgate weather though.
November 30th, 2021 at 2:28 PM ^
Digging that high temperature for tomorrow, giggity
November 30th, 2021 at 1:38 PM ^
My guess is they drop.
The reason being is because there are few hotel rooms left anywhere near Indianapolis for Saturday night and I’m not sure how many people are going to want to go watch a game that will likely end close to midnight and then drive 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours to a hotel.
November 30th, 2021 at 1:46 PM ^
Psssh. To see this game, I would even drive back afterward.
November 30th, 2021 at 1:52 PM ^
I suppose it depends on someone’s age. My guess is most of the over 40 crowd aren’t going to be interested in that kind of drive that late at night.
I’m going to wait until the day of the game and see where prices are at.
November 30th, 2021 at 2:15 PM ^
Good thing I live 1 1/2 hours away!
November 30th, 2021 at 1:46 PM ^
I'd assume some wives of salty OSU fans will force them to sell the tickets they're holding on to
November 30th, 2021 at 1:51 PM ^
It’s Tuesday. The two teams involved have been known for three days. I think if the prices were going to drop, they already would have.
November 30th, 2021 at 2:00 PM ^
I think there's something to be said about the fact that OSU and Wisconsin both definitely thought they would be going to this game and likely bought tickets. Very well could be holding onto tickets right now to see if someone buys them at a super premium until something like Thursday or Friday and then try to unload them cheaper just to get the cash back.
Unfortunately for OP, I have to imagine this game will be VERY popular all the way until gametime and any cheaper listings will likely be bought up quickly.
November 30th, 2021 at 1:59 PM ^
Been following closely too. I was very wrong in which I didn't get them Sunday morning when it was at about $300 a ticket (for 3 seats together. with fees) as I thought it'd go down after some initial "pent-up demand" , but now it's about $500 a ticket (again, with 3 seats together, including fees).
Anyway, I don't think they'll go down much, but I could maybe see a chance they drop a tad bit on the day of, but I am just speculating and could be wrong.
November 30th, 2021 at 2:13 PM ^
NO!!!
They are probably all sold by now.
You MIGHT get a deal scalping outside the stadium right before the start, but who would want to miss the pre-game excitement for the first appearance by Michigan?
(By deal, I mean $250.00 each.)
November 30th, 2021 at 3:10 PM ^
Tickets are electronic
November 30th, 2021 at 6:08 PM ^
So no email transfer?
November 30th, 2021 at 2:15 PM ^
Just one question, for Hoek:
At what time will tickets will be very cheap?
