YESTERDAY’S TRADING:
It turned out to be a beautiful day. Wisconsin tickets were going for about $40 under face outside the stadium (and at our tailgate), so like $60 to $80. They hung around face online until it was too late to sell there. That’s probably as high as it will get in Ann Arbor. As for away from Ann Arbor, well…
-----------------------------------
NOW ENTERING THE ROAD ZONE
Supply and demand drive a market, and when the road team travels as well as Michigan that drives up demand, since most of those away fans have to get a home fan who already decided to buy a ticket to give that up. Doing so means risking the chance to see THE GREAT RIVAL taken down before you, and risking the shame of Staudt on Sports callers (at 1:25):
That’s why Michigan State ($231) and Ohio State ($349) tickets are off their rockers right now. Those fans who are selling are those who bought expecting to sell them. With MSU I wouldn’t buy until the Friday before, when a big market that was holding back decides selling to Michigan for $180 is worth the shame. For Ohio State, well, the only thing that can change the price of a ticket to Football Armageddon II is if it doesn’t happen, which is still a possibility.
Rutgers and Iowa on the other hand, well, this is from yesterday:
Not knowing a game time froze the marketplace last night. Now that it appears the hurricane won’t come north, they’ve picked up a bit again. Demorest informed me that he’s on a flight with all Michigan fans, and most already have their tickets, and if a lot of the Michigan fans already made their move that bodes well for those who haven’t yet. Rutgers fans aren’t exactly the most realistic out there, but enough of them must be to help #maizethestripe on the 50% chance that this doesn’t happen:
THINGS IN THE FUTURE
| Game | July | Aug | 9/16 | 9/30 | Now | Dips | Buy? | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| @RU | $125 | $139 | $118 | $90 | $82 | $75 | tomorrow | M fans who flew bought early |
| ILL(HC) | $85 | $85 | $100 | $108 | $104 | $95 | nxt week | Illini probably not coming, so when cancellations happen you win. |
| @MSU | $225 | $268 | $256 | $234 | $231 | $231 | wait. | Market just started moving. |
| MD | $65 | $54 | $70 | $57 | $70 | $60 | at game | Went up with Purdue slaughter. Bet on them being face-ish. |
| @Iowa | $85 | $151 | $195 | $189 | $145 | $140 | wait. | But start looking and go at $110 if you're committed to going. |
| IU | $65 | $40 | $55 | $57 | $55 | $55 | now. | Cheap ones are going. Yes I'm still bullish on the hoosiers |
| @OSU | $250 | $282 | $275 | $311 | $349 | $311 | wait. | Good time to sell though. |
CHEAP TIP
No: Hi, brother who didn’t get into Michigan. We should go to the Michigan-Michigan State game together. Oh yeah both teams are doing well, should be a great fight; you know Dantonio. Do you know anyone…you do! Great.
Yes: Hi, Sparty. We’re gonna kick your [tight end]s this year. Lol O’Connor sucks. Sure I’ll put my money where my mouth is; whoever loses has to pay for the tickets, deal?
BEST DEAL RIGHT NOW (that I can find on the sponsor's site because let's support people who support us okay?)
Ok this one’s a find:
Front row, 10 yard line for senior day.
