A friend of my wife is buying tickets to Indiana game. Is this Highway robbery?

[Ranger Dan]

The seats are supposedly “really good” and the parking pass is for Lot 12. For the parking pass and four tickets, she is paying $1000. That sounds like crazy money. It’s been a while since I’ve had season tickets and maybe the demand really is that high. What do you guys think?

What's the old saying about a fool and his money soon being parted? Look, if it's worth it to the person buying it, then no amount is too high. But for me (and I would think most sane people) that is money-to-burn too high.

I would have guessed about $700 for the package

 

[BOSCO2]

It's high but not ridiculous. Curious as to where the seats are located.

 

[psuro]

Face value of tix is $65?$790?

 

[rudedude]

Yeah, sounds like about $300-$400 too much

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

scam, we're actually playing Indinia

have to watch out for those knock off brands

 

[Kellerdog]

If you have to buy tickets to watch IU play football, you need another hobby….

Have her look at the electronic ticket networks(stub hub etc). Plenty of availability, download to IPhone, etc. join the 21st century.

It’s a done deal. I already tried to help get them tickets, but they didn’t want my help.

Impossible to say without knowing where the seats and parking pass are.

Parking pass is lot 12

I got 4 tix for EBU midway up and a lot 18 paved parking pass for that game for under $375 total.

parking pass is currently in the glove box, would it be better to move it elsewhere?

yes. I'll send you a prepaid fedex envelope that it would be better in. Make sure the tickets go in to the envelope as well so it doesn't get lonely.

If she paid for it, they would have been crazy to have charged her less.

Yes, it’s highway robbery for that game. That’s about the current going rate for this week’s white out.

BTW, I’m a club seat holder and would tell you that this price is absurdly high even if the “really good” seats are in the club section. Lot 12 is not even a preferred lot…it’s general parking.

Probably not. Packages like that for big college or NFL games go for crazy money. If your wife didn't pay it someone else would have. It shows how much importance we attach to big time sports, especially football.

seems high to me.

4 "great" seats and a parking pass for a total of $1000 is the going rate for this weekend's game?

Tix prices have come down, as they typically do closer to gameday. Lots of options now in the $200’s for tix and while reserved parking passes still at $100+, shouldn’t have to pay much more than $50 for a general parking pass.

Refer to P T Barnum

She paid the going price. Not much available in the club and none selling for cheaper.

On 2nd thought I’d be happy to sell you my 3 Illinois tickets and a blue parking pass for $350. . Screw Indiana and the 4th person. Lol
