Single Game Ticket Prices
Just received an email on this today. They go on sale the June 26th at 8:30AM EDT. First price reflects Endzone pricing and the second is Victors pricing. Pretty awful.
Aug. 30 Appalachian State $70 $95
Sept. 13 Miami (Ohio) $70 $95
Sept. 20 Utah $70 $95
Sept. 27 Minnesota $80 $115
Oct. 11 Penn State $100 $200
Nov. 1 Indiana $80 $115
Nov. 22 Maryland $70 $95
What bullshit... I doubt we fill up completely for at least three of these games. Athletic Dept. is really lowballing us.
$70 is way too much for some (most) of these games. I would love to take my son to his first game but no way am I going to pay $70 per to see App St. Coming from GR, 2 tickets, and parking to see a sub-par UM (blasphamy I know) play a sub-D1 team would cost a minimum $300. I would be totally fine with that if I was going to see a good team vs a good opponent but not this crap, no way.
I understand the ritual of taking the kids to their first Michigan games. You can go a bit cheaper on this today and get Appy St. seats on Stub Hub for $60 per corner end zone or sideline 20's for $80 per. Not great but far from turrible based on the kid experience. Buy then a lemon chill for $5, good times.
Save some money and park in a structure or downtown lot if it's cost prohibitive to go to the golf course ($8) and about a 3/4 mile walk. On the way back stop at the MDen and pick your little guy up a hat with the money you save. Enjoy a starbucks for the ride home.
FWIW, if you like risk tolerance you can wait until game day at 1140 right by the stadium and I'd wager you could get seats for $25.
Thanks for the tips! I realize I was overreacting a bit but I remember getting tickets for $50 per which doesn't seem too long ago. I also remember getting offered 3-packs for a reasonble price and without the "required donation". Just seems to have gone overboard in the last 5-10 years.
"You can go a bit cheaper on this today and get Appy St. seats on Stub Hub for $60 per corner end zone or sideline 20's for $80 per."
Don't bother with that.... 1-2 weeks before the game you'll be able to get tickets for $80-100 a PAIR, for sideline seats in the secondary market.
Two years ago I bought a pair of tickets, in section 22 about 30 rows up, for the Minnesota game for just over $50.
dynamic pricing but only when it benefits you. What about dudnamic pricing? Miami $40, Appy St $53, Utah $54, Minny $62, IU and Maryland $57 on stubhub and I'm willing to bet those prices go down.
There are so many negative nancies on the board. If the prices are too high, you're mad at DB, and if the prices are too low, you're still mad at DB.
I support my team regardless, and if that means I have to eat balogna sandwiches for a month instead of filet mignon in order to go to a few games, then that's the price I have to pay. Can we please have a moratorium on whining about ticket prices for at least a month? Jeez. Just enjoy your summer and relax... please.
Can we test the theory that if prices are too low people will be mad at DB? I'd just like a control method in this theory.
$100 per and at night! Not an enticing proposition
PSU is the only game that's selling for above market value. I don't know that any of the other games will even reach market value.
Starting this evening, exclusive to Michigan Football Season 
Ticket Holders only, you can take advantage of a limited time 'Family & Friends' offer to the 2014 Home Opener, Michigan vs. Appalachian State. For $40 per ticket, a ticket price that only Michigan FootballSeason Ticket Holders have access to, you can purchase up to four (4) single-game tickets located in the north endzone through Friday, July 11 at 5 p.m.

I wanted to reply that I have two for sale for the "Home Opener" as well, and for a lot less than $40 per ticket. Unfortunately it was from a no-reply address.
Interestingly enough we got an email last week offering my brother Ap State tickets for $40 each because my brother took over my season tickets so I'm still considered "frend and family" and have a significant number of priority points. Looks like they're going with tiered pricing based on past purchases.
Are those cheaper than what someone with season tickets would have paid?
season ticket holders paid $65 per game
Well done Brandon and Hoke. /s
but I don't think expectations are very high this year, for good reason. So combine that with this crap schedule and it looks worse than 2012. There is no way in hell I would pay $70 per for any of those games outside of PSU.
2 to 3 of those games are as good as our best home game this year.
Guy who said google it you sir are a peach!
let me upvote this more than once no matter how many times click it.
kill off your fanbase slowy and effectively
Lik MGrowOld said, they emailed last week offering up to 4 end zone tickets for App State for $40.
but that is only one game. Every game is a rip off this year.
It doesn't matter who they play to me. I'm going to see Michigan play. I'd go to an exhibition scrimmage against GVSU.
The prices are ridiculous though. $70 as the starting point against MU and the oepner is just dumb. Charge for the "better" games.
your tune will change when it becomes your money.
I paid for my ticket/food and drove out to every game I went to the last two years.
But as of yet, you have zero responsibilities in life. Like dude above said, you'll rethink your position when you have real world things going on in your life. You're still looking at the world through a very narrow lens, here's hoping you upgrade to panoramic mode soon...
... Eventually.
"You'll outgrow that mindset..... Eventually"
I think I did the 27th time Big Al dialed up Fitz's number in the PSU game and our HC did nothing to stop the insanity.
But that still didn't quite push me over the edge. These prices on the other hand, are just insulting. I mean, I could still go, sure, it isn't really "the money" in and of itself, it's the principle. This may end up being the first year that I don't attend a game. Then again, I may very well change my mind, we'll see.
Fool me once...
I guarantee someone could get an App State ticket for $5 outside the stadium 5 min before kick.
I would say dirt cheap tickets will be available for all 3 non-conference games.
Isn't Penn State during fall break though?
I think it is crap that they can just pull prices out of their ass. The PSU game for the ticket packs were 95. Now you can pay 200 to go?
I hate paying the freight for this schedule at 65 per game as a season ticket holder, I can't imagine paying those prices.
they were $100 a pop and I have no idea where they are.
get cheap tickets from an outside source, this will probably be the first year since 2001 that I don't attend a game in Ann Arbor.
They're going to be like $20 on StubHub by time the season rolls around. Would be willing to bet there will be multiple games that are extremely affordable on there, assuming you have the patience to wait until they drop.
have the patience. I wouldn't even consider buying a ticket at the current prices. I have no problem waiting.
That's probably the best strategy, especially because it seems like a lot of these tickets are overpriced. I just can't see those prices flying on an open market.
I'm not going to be able to watch 5 minutes of pre-season coverage without seeing that damned blocked field goal again and App State's coach being carried off the field in the Big House. Why can't we just pretend it never happened?
and what makes it worth $200 for Penn State? Seems more like "Losers Pricing" to me.
