I think that's the noon code, unless they also encode the link in the email differently.
That is the noon code
Not sure if it's PSU Athletics or USAWrestling making the calls on this, but to my view, it's pretty darn crappy to have tickets in hand for an event, have the event cancelled, told you can keep them if you want, or get a refund, then everyone gets refunded regardless--and 2 years later triple the prices.
It was a bit of a sh!t show trying to get lower level tickets - disappeared quickly. Don’t worry about lower level cost - they’re gone.
I was able to snatch up tix in section 131 and 132- at the end of the arena- row A (first row), for $282 after taxes and fees. Judging by how quickly they were selling and how few there were once I was finally able to get logged in at 10:08, it’s going to be slim pickings at noon. Don’t wait until 12:05 or you’ll be SOL.

Just got 5 tickets 1st row upper deck for 250.00 each
I guess I'll be looking for two of the reasonable resale variety after a couple of somebody's buddies bail on them.
Yeah, I had pretty great lower level seats for that price last time. I hope it still sells out, but I think I'll be watching from home. #baitandswitch
Now we know why they didn't release any pricing info.. what an absolute f u to the fans to price it at that level..
Bots work quick
Yep - system was slow as we might expect. I had a few go arounds with the circle of death and each time lower bowl tickets disappeared like snowflakes. Don’t ask for 2 tix where 3 are shown as available. The system will spin for a few minutes and tell you to look elsewhere. A semi crappy experience, but, at least 2 tix were secured for $237.50 each (lower sec 129). Very best wishes to the faithful who reach into the candy bowl at noon.
Bots my ass. I am convinced Ticketmaster just claims them and presto, they will soon be available at 1,500 a ticket.
Imagine the families of the wrestlers competing, many of whom won’t be able to find- let alone afford- tickets to watch a loved one achieve/compete for a lifelong dream
I guess that having had the luxury of a test run they realized that demand was good enough to support a price hike, but for the numbers I'm hearing you'd think these were to the Olympic event itself and not the trials. Seems a bit greedy.
Tickets for Penn State v Iowa at BJC we’re going for $250 on secondary market. Fan gets 10 matches for that price. It shouldn’t be surprising that 4 sessions of the Olympic Team Trials - which come around once every four years and includes the top wrestlers in the US over the past 10-12 years (arguably, the most successful extended run in US freestyle history)- would be at the price points that they are. Judging by how quickly they sell out to the PSU season ticket holders- probably no more than 2500 people- they are probably significantly under-priced.
Come on, everybody knows Ticketmaster kept half the lower bowl tickets for themselves and in a week anybody who wants a ticket will be able to get one for $1,500 a seat per day. It isn't like Tickmaster isn't the biggest scam going.
It used to be if we had an extra football ticket or two for a big game we had to sell a Penn State pin for 200 bucks with a free ticket attached because we weren't allowed to scalp tickets on PSU property. Now the University simply puts the scalper in charge of ticket sells and distribution.

Well …. let’s see what lower bowl tix appear on the tickoffmaster site appear over the next months. I wouldn’t be surprised to see that you are right. It seems feasible that the wrestling apparatchiks cut a deal with Tickoffmaster to share in the profits ….. all of course in the name of “growing the sport” ……. or as an old buddy of mine in the college bowl game biz used to say: “to
support my damn life style”.
Yepper. I just took a $3800 kick in the ass today.
I'd be surprised if the scalpers make much out of this. Those lower bowl tickets that are 500+, I don;t think they will be sell them at a profit. Of course, that is just MHO, and I have been wrong before.
I think you're right. At least I hope so. But this is some big time wrestling and wrestling fans are nuts. I think we may see them over $1000 for a while, but then peter out.
Nice price. I’m so happy when decisions are made for me. Lol
I got on 10-15 minutes late... nothing but singles in the lower section and only 3-5 of them! Disappointed and of the amounts.
