And they price to pick them off. For these games there aren’t season ticket holders to dump tickets, so you just get expensive. If they screw up there will be empty seats, and maybe they drop the price. I’d assume the schools would/could make a deal to get those at a discount, but they’re not that mature yet perhaps?

I was looking into Illinois at UCLA. The lowest price that wasn't in the corner was @$70. I thought that was crazy. Near the floor was $450! That's insane. UCLA isn't that good of a team and Illinois travels decently but doesn't have a huge following out here.

So I went over to UoI tickets to see what it costs for a game in Champaign. I picked Oregon.

The prices were the same.

What in the everloving fuck?!?!
