Already down to about 500 left and starting at $120. I'm sure that market will change once we get deeper and season tickets go unpurchased.

Is this a pointless thread? Basically.

It's interesting that those blocks of tickets available must be scalping outfits buying season tickets at $140 and attempting to sell Michigan for about the same amount.

Would be even more interesting if that was UConn posting themselves. I'd actually be impressed.

Yeah it seems that way. They're also charging 4 dollars for Towson and 7 for Memphis.

For example there are 10 seats each in rows 25 and 26 in 206 listed for every game but Michigan.

There are 6 for Michgan at $142.

The others?

5 for Towson. 10 for Maryland and Memphis. 19 for RU. 21 for USF. 22 for Louisville.

Since there is nothing to write about in July but Boston College... If one were a newspaper reporter...

Is UConn posting tickets on Stubhub?

Is UConn selling bulk season tickets at a discount to agencies - without a discount there isn't much margin there and a lot of capital tied up with risk.

When I called and ordered extras a month ago a good number of the tickets now posted were still available as season tickets in 206.

Thought the conventional wisdom the Michigan fans would buy season tix just to have 'em for this game.

That always seemed strange to me. I'm sure some have but why would you spend $140 or $175 for a season ticket in the spring when you can almost certainly get a ticket for less than that?

I bought UConn/Michigan tickets at the Big House on the 40 yard line 30 rows up for $50 each 2 weeks before the game.

What's good?

I think 206 is "The Top of Rent" seating so it makes sense they'd get flipped.

It is. Screwing around on the UConn site 205, 206, 207 and 219 top of the rent tickets aren't available.

Those 206 tickets are listed on every ticket site at varying prices.

Seems like a poor investment for a business - I don't think the market will yield $140 for Michigan. You really have to like UConn's team to buy in for dozens of season tickets at $140 to think you can make any real margin.

Maybe there is money to be made on shipping charges - but I've got 4 extras in 206 and I'd be shocked if I could sell them off piecemeal for $200 each over the course of the season.

Will be interesting how available Michigan tickets are to season ticket holders. Does UConn maximize their revenue on the 'secondary' market or are they going to be passive.

I have a number of co-workers that are Mich alums and did just that...and are looking to unload the rest of their games already!

They don't like college football enough to show up and party for the good games?

Some have come to other games with us over the years and enjoyed the tailgate and game experience...but others are elitist and won't even give it a chance.

Then they must be Michigan fans and not college football fans. I'm a baseball fan and nearly always go to a park when I'm traveling no matter who is playing. Even to watch the Marlins. I'm not suggesting they get season tickets but there are a couple of games a year that a college football fan should attend.
