TCU among the cheapest tickets on secondary market

Harry · July 18, 2014

You could’ve bought a cup of coffee on Thursday morning, or a ticket to TCU football’s season opener. Or both if you had a $5 bill. A handful of upper deck tickets to TCU’s Aug. 30 home game against Samford are listed on VividSeats.com for $2 apiece.

Of course, that comes with a $15 shipping fee and $1.40 service fee, but the low figure is one example of what fans can find in the fluctuating, demand-driven secondary ticket market, where one seat at one game can go for a couple bucks and another seat at the next can go for a couple thousand bucks.

Texas

Vivid Seats ranks the Longhorns as having the 12th-most expensive median ticket price for home games, checking at $120. Texas’ average, per Vivid Seats, is at $188. Those pricy figures are also reflected on Stubhub and Ticket City, where prices for the Longhorns’ home opener against North Texas start at $60.75 and $44.

Texas’ most expensive minimum ticket — to no surprise — is its Red River Showdown against Oklahoma on Oct. 11. Stubhub starts at $233.40, Vivid Seats at $167 and Ticket City at $172. The Texas-OU game is the fifth-most expensive ticket on Vivid Seats, with a median price of $395.

Best bargain: Baylor at Texas, Oct. 4. $85, lower level end zone (Vivid Seats). Easy choice here, since it’s the best home game on Texas’ schedule. Getting in the stadium — and in a nose bleed-free seat — for less than $100, is solid. There’s also a few season ticket packages listed on Stubhub starting at $524.73.
