Football Season Ticket Prices Plummeting on StubHub
$327 per ticket is the current price. This is down about $100 since last week.

$327 is the lowest price requested, not the "current rate." That price is the lowest by a decent margin.
August 12th, 2014 at 10:28 PM ^
I would argue that they are above the "current rate."

If it continues to decrease there won't be any excuses for people not to go to the games. For 30 dollars a ticket to the opener, we better have 109901 people.
August 12th, 2014 at 10:31 PM ^
Food, Lodging, and Fuel costs are not tied to the market price of the football tickets.

So the 109901 who bought tickets last year can't afford food, lodging, and fuel along with a 30 dollar ticket to see Michigan play? That's probably the cheapest weekend to see a Michigan game in forever.

I'm going to decline to pay $50 for certain tickets and I can walk to the game and get cheap-to-free food and booze at my tailgate. I can understand why people wouldn't want to drop a few hundred dollars to see App St and Utah and whoever else.
If I had a ton of extra money to throw around, then sure I'd go. But I have a very limited entertainment budget right now and I see little reason to spend it on App State.

If you live within a 2 hour radius you could go to this game for about 60-70 dollars including gas, food, and ticket price if you're smart. That's less than any game I can remember including 2008-2010. There's absolutely no excuse to have less than 100,000 people at this game.

I say we are playing a shitty Appalacian State team. Nothing even close to the team we played with Armanti Edwards on it.
Not worth my 70-80 dollars. Nor is Utah. I will watch it at my buddies for the cost of a case of beer and some cheap food to take along. I will save the moneis there to spend it on Penn State.

delete. I just read the hockey thread and am a bit terrified of making a ticket comment.
I'll just say Go Blue! Season is almost here! Hope it's a good one!

Traffic is going to be hell with Saline Ann Arbor road shut down at the 94 exit! Need to add extra time to the commute!
August 13th, 2014 at 10:07 PM ^
when a season pass to park cost more than a season ticket.
August 12th, 2014 at 10:44 PM ^
The 2015 schedule will help even this out a bit, but as long as we're fielding 7-5 and 8-4 teams, you'll be seeing this every year.

I don't want any game against App State, period, redemption or no.
August 13th, 2014 at 8:03 AM ^
August 13th, 2014 at 7:42 AM ^
redemption against app state....
August 12th, 2014 at 10:53 PM ^
price at which the last comparable set were sold.
August 12th, 2014 at 11:30 PM ^
At that price it makes more sense to just keep the tickets and watch us play some football.
Let's Go Blue, goddammit.
August 13th, 2014 at 12:56 AM ^
In light of today's board brew-ha-ha, how are the prices for hockey season tickets? ;)
August 13th, 2014 at 6:35 AM ^
Haha, yesterday was amazing. I don't think I've ever seen Brian venture into the comments to attack a poster before. And all because Space Coyote, of all people, disagrees with him on some stuff. That was hilarious.

It's in the front page article about the MSU hockey game getting moved to Chicago. The confrontation starts on the first page of comments: LINK.

have already been sold to someone and do nothing to the amount of unsold tickets the AD has remaining.
August 13th, 2014 at 8:05 AM ^
August 13th, 2014 at 8:50 AM ^
and the price is below the "official" price available through the UM ticket office, doesn't that mean that the athletic department is taking a financial hit by selling them for less on Stubhub?
August 13th, 2014 at 9:16 AM ^
Theorettically yes, but in a way: no. If the athletic department tries to sell them for less, that would lead me to believe the athletic department believes they have no chance of selling the ticket through their traditional route.
In that scenario, it would be better for the athletic department to get whatever they can on stubhub as opposed to having the tickets just sit there and leaving seats empty.
August 13th, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
And that gets to the heart of the problem for me. It wasn't too long ago that the idea we'd struggle to sell every season ticket was literally inconceivable.
The introduction of the PSLs, relentless price increases on top of that, a few down years, and terrible home schedules have apparently done what was once thought impossible.
August 13th, 2014 at 9:13 AM ^
My triple game pack arrived yesterday, and I already sold my Miami (OH) tickets for $50/ticket. I was happy to take a small hit. I'll still get to see the Penn State and Maryland games, and depending on how we look, I may try to get to Northwestern this year as well.
August 13th, 2014 at 10:02 AM ^
If the weather is not good the Appy game i'm surely not going, B O R I N G Lloyd type football.
August 13th, 2014 at 10:52 AM ^
Just exactly how do you know that's what it will be?
August 13th, 2014 at 1:43 PM ^
August 13th, 2014 at 2:05 PM ^
Lloyd runined the progam and it hasn't gotten any better. He sabatoged Rodriquez and now we have Hoke who seems to be in over his head.
