Yep, readers are clamoring for more Draftaggedon content. Can't wait to hear more about how Brian, Ace, Seth and friends draft the Big 10.

Seriously, I never have completely grasped the appeal or purpose of more than a cursory post about Draftaggedon. That is probably the thing I read the least about. I'd rather read more about Olympic sports than Draftaggedon.

Go see him live if you get a chance - he really deconstructs and rebuilds the songs for live shows, to half of the audience's dismay.

But what I really was hoping for is an inside line on 3 tickets for Northwestern!  Come on guys, don't you want to rest up for MSU so you can bring your "A Game" for the Spartans triennial visit to Michigan Stadium?

Sell me your tickets and I love you long time.  (At least it will seem like a long time, because I'm not very good at it.)

Love the clip. I'll be looking for more of them.

How old are your sons? Took my son (14 years old) to first game in Big House this year, courtesy of a very generous fellow mgoblogger. We'd been to Northwestern games at Ryan before (live in the Chicago area) but there's nothing like Ann Arbor. Really, it is special.

My sons are 17 and 15.  The 17 year-old has expressed interest in Michigan and the 15 year-old is a rabid fan.

Neither has been to the Big House, and it's something I really want them to experience.  They've been to Ann Arbor several times, but game day is something special.

Turns out Michigan might be better than expected in year 1... prices soar!

No seriously, as someone who monitors the secondary market daily... ticket prices are on the rise.  The biggest indicator of where ticket prices will go is usually based on supply (crazy concept, I know).  Northwestern and Michigan State have already dropped below 2800 tickets available.  Compare that with Michigan's first 3 games when over 3000 were available on the Friday before the game.  If Michigan starts 3-0 in the B1G, look out.  It will be tough to get in to that OSU game without re-mortgaging the house.  I could see it costing somewhere between 300-350 just to get in the stadium and around 750-1000 to sit between the 20's.

My guess is that it is an intermittent feature. The market really didn't have much reason to move after UNLV, for example, so why invest time and energy in it? Games that are pretty far out take time to have market corrections. I'm hopeful for a post this week.

This is not so much about Ticket Watch as the ticket threads, but at least from a modding standpoint anyway, because of the partnership with TiqIQ there's been a marked decrease in these and a few of them have even come down. I could be wrong, but the partnership was meant as an improvement so that the spreadsheet and some other things wouldn't be necessary. As for Ticket Watch itself, it is a periodic feature.

I think I am the only person interested in the Indiana game.  I wanna go particially because I think the tickets will be cheap and because I want to see games at all the big ten schools.
