Ticket prices for Saturday are falling
The repercussions of MSU winning this past Saturday in Columbus have seriously effected prices for The Game on Saturday. Last week tickets in Section 23 were mostly above $700/each. Earlier this morning they were starting at $325/each. I just checked again and you can get some really good seats in Section 23, row 43 for $280 (I am not selling them BTW).
Of course this still beats last year's game against Maryland when I saw seats as low as $37/each in Section 23. We will never see that price again (Harbaugh) but the prices for this weekend are coming down to almost face value (seat + PSL).
MLive had a story yesterday on this that almost seems out of date today:

Is there nothing a Sparty can't ruin simply by being peripherally involved?

So did Rich Rod and Hoke.
We should send them a card.

And you can still watch their game from their stadium for $6

They will be cheaper in coming years as they start falling from the level of play of the past 3-4 years.
We've been saying that ever since 2008. Maybe we should get a new saying...

Even their own fans dont want to watch. I'm sorry - can anybody here imagine back in 1997, when with everything on the line against OSU, going "eh....not sure I want to attend or not."
I'm sorry - this is why they will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS sit in the back seat of our car and ask "are we there yet" when it comes to football.
November 25th, 2015 at 3:18 PM ^
And yet they wonder why they get no respect...

This is good. Sounds like a lot of Buckeye's who bought tickets in Septermber are probably selling them back now. Hopefully were completely done with having OSU fans to fill 25% of our stadium.

2009 and 2013 were bad. But those were exceptions, when we were in a tailspin and our fans sold off a lot of their tickets. Normally OSU fans are like 10-15% of the crowd, similar to MSU.

I'm hoping it's under 10 this year.

Are you eight years old?

You know you have issues when you downvote someone for telling the truth just because you don't like it
November 25th, 2015 at 5:11 PM ^
My issue is that I'm a wiseguy

Like their team doesn't need to win this game in order to have a shot at the BIG championship game, and possibly getting back into playoff contention? So they are just stamping their collective feet, and deciding not to support their team on gameday because they are not undefeated?
Oh well I guess.. Maybe I will actually be able to afford to go to the game this year now.

The Sparty loss knocked them on their ass. Their heads are NOT in this game at all.
If things start to go against them in the game, they will absolutely implode.
It's strange because they are in the exact same position we are, and we are pumped for this game. It's all about expectations i guess.

$148 the get-in price for a single on Stubhub right now. Two together is $160 each.
Now I'm going to get in trouble for maybe skipping my Grandma's 90th birthday party.
November 25th, 2015 at 2:41 PM ^
afterall its M-OSU we are talking about here..Even 90yr old Grandmas can understand the significance of that
November 25th, 2015 at 2:59 PM ^
November 25th, 2015 at 5:09 PM ^
Whew! Good thing my Grandma's 90th was in June. Tough call man!

catch the rest of PSU vs MSU game at granny's house! And root for a PSU upset.

November 25th, 2015 at 2:40 PM ^
skurnie's grandmother is going to have extra security on her 90th birthday?
November 25th, 2015 at 3:07 PM ^
Grandma doesn't mess around. How do you think she got to 90?

I don't think it will be that big of a deal. There were security checks after 9/11 and things still proceeded pretty smoothly.

still too expensive for us, since it involves a hotel, gas, and an 8 hour drive each way. we'll also be in/around nyc to be with family, and i kinda think they'd be upset if we suddenly cancelled plans to go to The Game. :/
we'll be there in spirit from a michigan bar in nyc!
November 25th, 2015 at 2:49 PM ^
If you are looking for a good Michigan bar in NYC may I suggest a separate post asking everybody if they know of a good one. That usually works. /s

For fun, I just checked stubhub.
You can get two together for $36 each in the upper level, and $93 each for 50 yard line lower level.

If we beat Oho State, you can drive up to EL and watch the 2nd half in person for like $20.
The fact that you will be wearing Michigan gear makes this awesome. You'll be a welcome guest, no doubt.

Not only to clinch their spot in the B1G Championship game, but it's also a rivalry game with a trophy!!

On the eve of Thanksgiving, this thread reminds me how thankful I am that I was born blue and not green.
