Maryland Tickets on StubHub $13.25; Cheapest M Big Ten Game Ever?
Tons of tickets on StubHub for the Maryland game in the $13 range. I'm speculating this is a combination of us sucking, Maryland being new to the B1G, the weather and more. But is this the cheapest Michigan Big Ten football game anyone can ever remember on StubHub?
It also makes me realize once again that any of us who paid for season tickets are suckers.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:25 AM ^
Now that's dynamic.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:44 AM ^
Stub hub has less than 2 dozen tickets in the $13 range. Also, in the past, late season B1G games that were not homecoming or Ohio could be had for $10 or less from scalpers.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:26 AM ^
i seem to recall one game costing the price of two coke products...
November 20th, 2014 at 11:25 AM ^
do you know how many Cokes I can get for $13.25 at Kroger?
November 20th, 2014 at 11:31 AM ^
For 2 liters they've been pushing 2 for $3 for a long time now, and 6 for $6 once a month or two. So, depending on when you go to Kroger, with the bottle deposit you can either get 8-12 Cokes for $13.25.
Source - I live right next to a Kroger and my wife loooooves Coca - Cola.
November 20th, 2014 at 6:04 PM ^
If you're going to Kroger what are you doing buying Coke? All about that Big K.

It's cheap entertainment and might be as funny to watch as Dumb And Dumber to.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:55 AM ^
Yeah, but at least the movie theater is warm... brrrr....
November 20th, 2014 at 10:12 PM ^
To wit:
• Dumb and Dumber here? ✔
• Twenty games goes back
to the start of the B1G 2013 ✔
• The movie debuts in Nov 2014 ✔
AmIRite?
November 20th, 2014 at 10:32 AM ^
They want people to come see hoke's last game as Michigan's Head coach.
November 20th, 2014 at 2:40 PM ^
So basically the same as watching Dumb and Dumber To?
November 20th, 2014 at 10:33 AM ^
please post how much they paid (Tickets plus PSD/game) so that the rest of us can point and laugh?
November 20th, 2014 at 10:45 AM ^
PSD $175 for each of 2 seats
$75 per game, $95 for "premium games"
So $100 to $120 per game, per seat.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:49 AM ^
My PSD was $75 each for 2 seats
$65 per game per seat (that's our price which doesn't change for premium games even though the printed value is higher)
And whatever bs brokerage fee they charge (think it equalled an extra $1 per game)
Then for me the conversion into Canadian Dollars costs more
November 20th, 2014 at 10:53 AM ^
Your tickets cost $65 per ticket (not the face value or "premium" game cost). Son your instance, the ticket costs $175/7 games + $10(fee)/7 games + $65 = $91.43. My tickets cost me $77.14 (endzone with only $75 PSD).
November 20th, 2014 at 11:40 AM ^
Hey, quit laughing. If I did not love my seats, I would go Stubhub all the way. If I sat up or down a couple of rows I would dump my seats.
November 20th, 2014 at 7:19 PM ^
The PSD is tax deductible...
November 20th, 2014 at 10:39 PM ^
So say you have a ~28% marginal tax rate.
Then the cost = $600 * (80% * 28% * $600)
= $600 - $180
= $420

November 20th, 2014 at 11:58 AM ^
I was confused till I reread your comment
November 20th, 2014 at 12:26 PM ^
Many Michigan fans are suffering from PTSD at this point in the season.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:38 AM ^
I actually don't feel THAT terrible about purchasing the tickets, as (based on the rules they've told us) I'm going to have really awesome seats next year when we might be better, tickets are cheaper, and we have some great home games. This year sucked. Maybe I'm just too optimistic.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:45 AM ^
Plus, Harbaugh will be here.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:39 AM ^
Don't buy yet, they'll continue to drop.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:39 AM ^
Unbelievably the price has dropped.

Oh boy.... 100,000 streak is in big trouble.
November 20th, 2014 at 12:58 PM ^
Are these re-sells? Or are they the actual AD trying to sell them?
I don't suppose it matters, they'll announce 100,000+ no matter what. Who actually audits it anyway?
November 20th, 2014 at 5:40 PM ^
I also think their's a chance that no attendance figure will be mention, if they don't reach 100,000. You're probably right though. I hope they say a number like 100,001. We'd at least have a good laugh about it.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:40 AM ^
I remember the days when season ticket holders could actually make money selling tickets. This is what you get when your product is no longer in demand.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:43 AM ^
While the weather doesn't help, people would still be showing up in droves if the team was winning.
This is what happens when you have a mediocre product.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:44 AM ^
WOW!! That's a low price!
November 20th, 2014 at 10:46 AM ^
Still amazed at the Brandon hate. Look at the LOW LOW prices he brought to the consumer!
November 20th, 2014 at 2:43 PM ^
And that low, low price spells DOOM for Mr. Hoke- his "show" is not entertaining
November 20th, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
I'm coming up from Atlanta for the game and got tickets in Section 2, Row 65 for $35 each including shipping yesterday. Almost makes up for the fact that I'm coming up from Atlanta for this game. Also got tickets to the basketball game tonight for $11 each, so that was cool.
November 20th, 2014 at 1:00 PM ^
Sounds like a fun long weekend. I'm jealous. I'd do it if I could.
Don't let them tell you nobody cares.
November 20th, 2014 at 3:54 PM ^
UM plays PSU tomorrow night. Fun filled weekend ahead, potentially.
That's what I'm doing anyway.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:55 AM ^
I recall someone posting during August that we couldn't/shouldn't look at the prices on SH at that time, that the prices would be far different during the week of the game....so, being a little OCD, I tracked prices...daily. (I said I was OCD)
Our tickets could be had for prices in the teens, mostly during the DAY of the game...except for the Coke game. I captured a screenshot of a pair of tickets for PSU for $4 each. Otherwise, every game was available for under $20 per ticket. This is probably earlier in the week than previous games this season.
To my mind, this exposes the flaw in the thinking of the season ticket buyer/defender...regardless of the appeal of having odd year MSU/OSU and the slightly improved OOC opponent (note I didn't say OOC opponents - plural)...there remains other B1G games against Indiana, Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue and Illinois that will appear on the schedule...for prices Blue in Lansing presented above. Seriously.
November 20th, 2014 at 11:14 AM ^
I remember those debates well. And next year, even with the attractive home schedule, I predict the money you would save on the "bad" games on Stubhub will more than offset the cost of the good games plus the PSL fees. But candidly there's really no point in bringing it up again IMO because it's really an apples to oranges comparson.
If you like your seat location and you like the people you sit near then full price season tickets and the PSLs are the way to go. If you like money then the secondary market is your friend.
November 20th, 2014 at 12:37 PM ^
Devin was going to get a Heisman, if not him, Jabrill; our only tough contest was against MSU because Braxton broke his shoulder, so that one became winnable.
Ahhh, August....
November 20th, 2014 at 1:02 PM ^
We are August Big Ten Champs, 10 years in a row!
November 20th, 2014 at 10:56 AM ^
With the weather, can we even expect 80,000 in attendence? I bought my tickets for $75 a pop and am considering eating that, if the weather is going to be miserable.
November 20th, 2014 at 12:13 PM ^
100,000. I don't even think they'll announce the attendance number.
November 20th, 2014 at 1:10 PM ^
The attendance they announce is actually ticket sales. Which is bullshit, but that's what they do. Once they sell the tickets, they count it as attendance even if nobody shows up.
We have actually broken the real 100,000 attendance streak numerous times since 1975, and not just recently.
I went to the 1988 Minnesota game in the freezing rain, and it looked like the spring game. My normal regular seat was high up in the North End Zone, but for that game, I sat on the 50, half way up. Had most of the row to myself.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:57 AM ^
If they were stocks I would buy at $5.
November 20th, 2014 at 10:58 AM ^
i know the product on the field has been sub-par this year, however, this group is still showing fight. The weather in Michigan has been less than pleasant so that may have something to do with the lack of interest. I will be there....Go Blue!
November 20th, 2014 at 11:06 AM ^
To further illustrate the point ... right now on SH, the cheapest tickets to the Michigan-Syracuse basketball game are $46.
So, tickets to a non-conference basketball game are almost four times more expensive than tickets to a conference football game.
November 20th, 2014 at 11:10 AM ^
Isn't that enough to fire Hoke? Just sayn
November 20th, 2014 at 11:14 AM ^
Basically, yeah; that's been the argument for a long time, now.
November 20th, 2014 at 11:17 AM ^
Unfair comparison, for the first two basketball games this year Crisler was at most 75% full, probably less than that.
November 20th, 2014 at 11:25 AM ^
A lot of the empty seats are season ticket holders who don't come to early season games.
