Pac-12 Championship Game: Not the toughest ticket

Championshipgames_medium

This graphic is really, really sad. $17. That's the price to get into Autzen Stadium on Friday night. There are a number of factors that are going into this. It's Rick Neuheisel's last game as a lame-duck coach. UCLA just got blown out 50-0 in a rivalry game. It's on a Friday night. But a ticket to this game is worth less than a ticket to the Conference USA Championship game. 

Can this game count against our consecutive home sellout streak? Because it's not even sold out yet.

Larry Scott is a lucky man. If the Pac-12 Championship game were at a neutral site, it would make an ACC Championship Game look well-attended.

Good luck getting rid of those tickets HRD!

Game will sell out I think

The unused UCLA tickets will go up hopefully soon.

Tickets are still available through goducks.com. So… it probably won’t matter if the unused UCLA tickets go up or not (assuming they haven’t already).

Almost had to ditch mine, but fortunately

we’ve got child care and so the wife and I can make it.

Everyone I asked couldn’t get off work. I think the Friday date is what hurts the most.

My parents believed in me.

by flyduckfly on Nov 29, 2011 2:53 PM PST up reply actions  

I'm blaming it on Friday 5pm kickoff, and the fact that the game wasn't confirmed until Saturday night.

Which means anyone going to an event of this magnitude is basically blowing off work on short notice. My guess is Autzen won’t be sold out for the first time in forever. THANKS A LOT, OSAMA BIN LADEN.

Now with mustache guarantee!

We have a clerical day Friday

So as long as my grades are in on time (they will be), I’m good to go. I think a large percentage of my colleagues are doing the same, but since our overall number is so low, that percentage works out to about five people.

Got the shoes. Got the jersey. And finally, got football. Go Ducks.

(Good call, Daisy)

Got mine for $22/ea.

I was all ready to plop down $125 for section 31 row 7 seats, but my buddy didn’t want to fork over that much…LAME.

Sweet.

I am really glad that I didnt drop 45 dollars for a student ticket, seeing as I can get a corner ticket in the usual student section for less than 20.

I'll be in sect 16 row 35

for $33/ticket. I got 4 seats to take my wife and her parents to the game. It’s an early Christmas present.

I sold my 2 section 16

tickets for face value ($90 each). Listed them on Craigs List Sunday afternoon. I’m still going but got access to some better tickets so sold mine. I’m feeling pretty lucky right now.

Oh man I got ripped off

We might have to show up a couple hours early now

just to get our money’s worth seat-wise

Whats the deal with the student section? all students who paid 45 or a mix with people who were smart and looked elsewhere?

Championship Games aren't about butts in seats

they’re about eyeballs on TVs. The former makes money for a home team, the latter for the conference. Of course with UCLA playing nobody outside the the Pac-12 will want to tune in anyway.

I know, right?

Part of the reason I sold mine is because they aren’t even MY seats. It’s quite amazing how proprietary I feel about them. I’d just spend the whole game sitting there glaring at whoever is sitting in MY seats so I figured I might as well move to a better location.

It's really insulting to pay $180 + $25 fee for crappy seats

When seat in my section I wasn’t qualified to buy are SE,ling on stub hub for $45. Year one is a complete failiure- but I look forward to USC game next year at Autzen for the second try.

by Duckfreak on Nov 29, 2011 9:40 PM PST up reply actions  

I got my seats and I'm still feeling a little irritated about the whole thing.

I’m sure the irritation will drift away well before game time, but right now, grrr.

Got the shoes. Got the jersey. And finally, got football. Go Ducks.

Is tiqiq.com reliable?

Never heard of it before.. If it’s not, I’m willing to take HRD’s tickets.

Never heard of them

But if you’re savvy I bet you can get HRD to throw in a few piLlz.

TiqIQ is simply a ticket aggregator, though some tickets are sold directly through them. Looks like they have a 200% guarantee for tickets that are sold through them.

Full disclosure, they have a partnership with SBNation.

You're bound to pay

some sort of handling and then shipping fee. HRD Boner Pilz and Ticket Broker probably has a better deal going.

Price drop sucks but...

We are flying from the east coast, the morning of, to watch this game. Stupid Pac-12 South and their crappy teams.

Lame fans if they don’t show up, even though it is an early Friday kick off. If I can commute 11+ hours to get to the game, they can drive from inside the state line.
