Ticket Question

[mtgriz]

I have a friend coming in from Texas for the Idaho game so I went to Griztix to buy him a seat. There is a single by my season ticket in the North Endzone that is available. It is listed at $117.40!

Has the U contracted out all their ticket sales to a ticket reseller? That is a ridiculous amount to spend for one game when my season ticket in the same spot was $315 including fees.

It's just another one of those things they expect you'll learn to live with.....

Your buddy is just going to need to pony up

I agree they seem a bit expensive on GrizTix for some reason... better option might be one that is available on egriz which seem reasonable for the most part...

I know about the other options. Thanks. I was just curious if anyone knew if this was yet another money grab to sell single game tickets at about a 300% markup.

It might be dynamic pricing - the less seats remaining, the higher the price goes. I have no inside knowledge if this is true though.

On StubHub, the cheapest ticket in the NEZ for that game is $110. Not saying it is right or wrong, but if people will pay $110 to a third-party vendor, why can't or why shouldn't the university charge and get the same amount?

I'm not so sure if it is a money grab or just supply/demand. FWIW, the cheapest single ticket on StubHub for that game is around $75.

DM me if he’s still looking for a ticket. I’ve got one for much cheaper.

Griztix now uses dynamic pricing and presumably the more demand / less options the higher it'll be.

For the UND game ticket prices the start of the week were $100/each and by game day were all the way down to $20 to $25 each. I'd tell him not to panic and buy something yet unless if he gets a good price from someone like @Beware_the_D posting above me here.

Thanks for the input. The dynamic pricing concept does make sense. Patience is a virtue, and can also save one some money when it comes to sports ticketing.
