Question on pricing

Is $142 per seat for a group of 4 in Sec C row 60 too much (WKU game)? I think it is under cover.

I can get 2 seats for 119 each in row 56, but to get 4 together the best I can find in C is 142 per. Some are much higher. What is your opinion of how much?

Not for face. What is more important to you, the $50 or price? The street is definately the way to go for pricing if you aren't to picky about where you are sitting. I usually find seats around the 20 and into the enzone, lower level for face or slighlty over/under. If you really want seats on the 50 they are still priced a little too high for WKU but... much harder to come by. Stubhub, which is THE most ovepriced way to get tickets has seats at the 50 for $145. Hope this helps

I was looking at TicketZoom.com I cannot find anyone who has used them.

Because of distance away (11 hr drive) and work, I can only get to one game, so I don't mind paying a premium for good seats. But I also don't want to get gouged.

for seats at the 50 for CLK's first game, it may not be gouging. Those seats are just harder to come by and come at a "premium". So if sitting at the 50 is important, then it's not too rediculous. There is never a shortage of seats on the street, it is just a matter of seating vs price

I bought the tickets Friday night. They were shipped yesterday Fedex. I had to pay a huge add-on from Ticket Zoom ($28 per), but the tickets were cheaper than StubHub. Plus on Stubhub, often they aren't shipped until close to game day and it isn't set in stone that those are the exact seats (promises "equivalent" or better).

I agree it's good have peice of mind and not wait until gameday but you payed over $650for 4 tickets to WKU....I think as some stated you could have scalped them for better but I see where you are coming from.

Good thing there is one of those rare money trees out in your front yard so you can shake it, gather the 'leaves' and use them to pay for things priced so high that only a left wing government could afford.

Depends on where you want to sit. I would think you could buy them on game day for $25 or so each. You would have to be patient.

I bought my tcikets on vividseats.com and have a seat at home opener in Section Y9 for $98 plus a serviced charge of $24.74 and delivery charge of $12.95 for a total of $135.69. The last times I bought tickets on line the prices were never above $75 counting all charges. My wife bought a ticket for me for the BAMA game last year but on e-bay for $175.
Seems prices for all the big name schools are higher the past 4-5 years. Check out prices for less well know universities or colleges (i.e. UCF, Carson Newman, Tennessee Tech, Temple, Ut-Chattanooga, Univfersity of Delaware, etc).

Yes, the pricing for tickets to all the big games have gone up tremendously. Last year i was able to scalped tickets to the bama game for 85 each in lower level E. This year on all the sites there asking 95 each for 3 tickets in the same spot just for the western kentucky game. its ridiculous.

Yeah if you live 11 hours away, you drive all the way in...Find a your favorite parking space...Then get tickets. I see your piece of mind on it. Why not? Your money. I think it was an okay deal. But they are right about gettin them cheaper down there at the game from the hustlers.
