Volleyball Season Ticket Holders Scalping Their Tickets
- Thread starter Bigger Ed
- Start date
For all the times we tried to get tickets when we had the chance and couldn't.. this might be a good thing but only if it is NU fans... 
My cousin has 4 VB, it is he and his mother at most games they sell the other 2 most of the time, sometimes give them away to co-workers or friends, sometimes all four are sold. When there are multiple VB games at home in a week and a fB at home in the same week, you kinda get burnt out. Plus they live an hour away so night games are tough. What are they supposed to do? I guess sell them and if someone wants to pay more that is called a free market system.
I wonder if it's how you sell them whether NU knows they've been sold. If you bought 2 tickets from your cousin, and paid cash, does NU even know they were sold? I don't think the problem is someone that sells a couple here are there because they can't go. It sounds like people buying season tickets and then selling all of them, probably selling online.
Football tickets have been scalped since I can remember. This isn't news. And for Volleyball? Its called demand pull inflation. It happens when you have a good product.
I do believe he uses nebraska suggested vendor "seat geek" not sure who sets the price.
Is the $600,000 based on the ticket price of $20/ticket? If so, that's 30,000 tickets. $3.2M for 30K tickets is $106.67/ticket. I have tickets in the 300 section. My ticket cost is $20/game but my actual cost is another $50 based on my $750 donation. I also made an additional donation to move up for the ticket selection but the donation for football and basketball counted towards that. I did sell 1 ticket for $50. Received $45 from SeatGeek (10% fee). The person had to pay $64 for the ticket (a 28% fee). The 100 and 200 section ticket donations are much higher than $750. I do have a problem with people selling tickets for $300+ in the 300 section. There are tickets in the 300 section row 11 for the Wisconsin game for $1399/ticket. That is NOT a true Husker fan. But it is capitalism, supply and demand.
I guess I am with you about the true Husker fan vs. Capitalism. I guess I don't blame people for trying to recoup part of their donation in the ticket that does seem fair. I guess we should be thankful we have a sport that demands such a high price for a ticket.
Yeah, the other night I flipped through the channels and saw a B1G game that looked like it was in my HS gym -- with less fans than at my HS (class D).
