Do you get all 10 for 103.55? If so, then that may be ok.
Haha, that wouldn’t be so bad! In don’t even know why people do this thinking someone might bite on that. There’s also someone trying to sell top row for $200 per ticket.

Attendance to sporting events in general is down because it's just so much easier (and cheaper) to stay home and watch it on TV. One factor might just be it's hitting ISU MBB later than it's hit everyone else

Yep, ask Iowa football season ticket holders about this. That fan base used to price gouge the **** out of each other because there weren't many single game tickets available. Between the AD increasing their ticket prices and the crap schedule I have friends that can't give their tickets away. They used to be able to sell off a couple games and pay for their entire season. I have other friends that have dumped their season tickets all together and just grab cheap single game tickets for the games they actually want to attend.

Not exactly sure.

Hey, they are excited that their sales versus capacity went up their year. They don't think that having Nebraska and ISU this year combined with shrinking the stadium by 2k seats made a difference in that.

If we win the Big 12 tournament and make a nice Sweet 16 run in the NCAA tournament, the market will rebound for the OP, at least for conference games.

Iowa State does it right with the $199 season tickets and the flash sales. Gets butts in the seats.

I don’t think it is entirely a Prohm thing but I think tickets were in much more demand in the midst of Hoiberg’s tenure.

meh, I ate the Big Michigan game tickets back in the middle of the Hoiberg era. Top row seats just are hard to unload sometimes.

To each their own I really enjoy going to the games. Watching them on TV just isn't the same to me,I much prefer to be in Hilton even during the down yrs like last yr. Heck I kept my tickets during the darkness of the McD time frame.

No doubt. There's nothing as fun as being in Hilton or Jack Trice. If you watch games on TV, you'll miss moments like when the whole stadium gradually was lit up during the West Virginia game. Or you'll miss screaming so loud during basketball games that you lose your voice or get light headed ;)

Cheapest ticket price showing available on ESPN (believe they use vividseats)

TCU @ Texas - $6
WVU @ OSU - $10
OU @ KSU - $13 - (completely embarrassing)
TTU @ ISU - $68
BU @ KU - $77

Tickpick (no fees)

ISU @ WVU -$2
TTU @ ISU - $77

That's right, $2 bones will get you into a Big 12 men's basketball game.

I don't dispute that at all. And if I lived closer I'd be at every game. But you can't really deny TV is much easier and cheaper

As someone that lives 2 hours away and can only make a game or two at best a year...the season ticket holders have been gouging people for years. If you are making an entire season ticket price up in 2-3 games those tickets are simply over priced and its wrong (flame me all you want). And yes I understand supply and demand...and now we have people complaining because they can't get double face for their tickets?

The last game I went to cost me $400 to take my family of 4. It's just totally out of hand and frankly am happy to hear cost is coming down. I really think what season ticket holders have done over the last 6-7 years is contributing to less butts in seats. I for one have not even looked at buying tickets this year simply because I don't want to pay that money for a 2 hr basketball game when I can watch in HD on a 65 inch.

11-hour drive for us which we loyally make 2-3 times/season. Loyal sons, etc... To have to pay exorbitant prices for not great tickets on top of gas and hotels makes it pretty undoable. We'll go to the W.Va. game tomorrow (about half the distance) and pay less for courtside seats
