stubhub question for nebraska

Submitted by MichFan1997 on
So I'm gonna surprise my sister with her first Michigan game Saturday. I see tix for as low as 68. Several tickets are listed with section like this: 1:35. What is the 1 for? Also, a matter of opinion, but is 68 about at reasonably low as I should expect this weekend? Thanks for feedback

I'm surprised tickets are that cheap. I was expecting the first Neb game to be in the $100s.

btw on stubhub, where are you seeing the 1:35? can't seem the find that notation  :-/

Must be a mobile glitch.  Looks like it shoud be an "R" rather than a "1:".  I agree 68 is pretty cheap.  The seats aren't great, but will be tough to get anything cheaper without going to the stadium, walking around for a while and getting lucky.

I can see into the future.  You will be able to buy tickets for cheaper on Saturday, but you are best served to keep any stubhub tickets out of the hands of dirty Huskerdoos.

never seen that before - could mean section #1, row #35?  or perhaps it's row #1, seat #35 in the section they are listed in?  or else it's a glitch in their system.  might be worth a phonecall to stubhub, they are very accomodating on the phone.  GO BLUE!

That is just for stubhub mobile, but Im not sure what it is either. They also have Ohio St/Michigan tickets for as low as 150$. Im kind of skeptical, but if those are legit, then I might have to pull the trigger.

I had the same question when I was selling some tickets earlier this year.  For some reason, sections such as "Sideline 23" changed to "1:23."  I actually spoke to a woman at Stub Hub, who was equally puzzled by the change.

Since then, any ticket I have posted has had the "1:" in front of the section number.  My guess is that somewhere in the bowels of StubHub, they decided to use a common nomanclature for the stadiums and that the "1:" refers to the first level.  Since the entire Michigan Stadium bowl (everything except the suites, I think) are in the first level, all the sections start with "1:".

In your case, "1:35" is simply referring to Section 35, which is in the north endzone.

I am also surprised that you see a posting as low as $68.  However, it is getting close  to the game and the sellers are trying to dump their tickets.  If you are looking at a single ticket, it is probably less than the tickets that are being sold in pairs or larger groups.

Remember, the buyer pays a 10 percent fee on top of the posted price.  (I think I am right about this.)  So, your $68 ticket will actually cost $74.80.

...or ANY tix on StubHub...they will assuredly be snatched up by people wearing red.

If you have tickets to sell, I implore you to use your network to try to sell to known Michigan fans instead of leaving them open to the market.

OK, getting off my soapbox now.

good work man, she's gonna be blown away if she's already a Michigan fan!  there's nothing like the big house.  buy some hot chocolate or nachos with the money you saved.  I'm getting excited just thinking about being at the game, even though I can't go ... dang.

I also see on Stubhub that many of the cheaper tickets are for electronic delivery; is that legit for U-M tix? I've only ever had/seen hard tickets.

Thanks.

compared to adjusted face with donation, and what tix cost in Madison for the husker road trip.
<br>I'll bet there's gobs of Red in the stadium on Saturday.
<br>Too bad.
