<p>I want to sit closer to the student section than my 40 yard line season tickets for this particular game so I just snapped up my Notre Dame tickets near the student section for $300 a piece on stubhub, much cheaper and easier than if I were to buy from third party for the game 2 years ago. </p>
<p>It's so much easier to buy tickets if you are willing to pay up, which is exactly how it should work. The primary and secondary market prices are now in line. This makes it a lot harder for the professional scalpers who would buy all the idiotically lowly priced primary market supply to cause an artificial supply squeeze, then gauge in the secondary market.</p>
<p>Don't know why people b and whine about it so much. Love seeing this free market at work.</p>
<p>David Brandon is clearly doing a great job as athletic director, not only by revitalizing the 2 only sports that matter in the college arena, but also continue to optimize ticketing practices: general admissions for students, dynamic pricing, improved purchasing power for each donation tier etc.</p>
<p>I had my reservation with Brandon when he was hired, since I thought he was more of a leader type than a thinker type, but he’s clearly getting the right people who’s doing their job.</p>
<p>The man knows how to run a profitable athletic department, has hired outstanding coaches, and has given Michigan some of the finest facilities in the country. More importantly, though, Michigan athletic teams are winning.</p>
<p>I was wondering how selling single student tickets work if I can’t make it to a game. Is there a website that people just post tickets for sale or do you just tell your friends you have a ticket for sale. Secondly, if I have friends coming from another school to a game, can I buy them student section tickets off of other people or can only students with umich IDs use student section tickets?</p>
<p>Stubhub won’t sell student tickets. You basically have to do it peer to peer. The proper channel requires a non-student to validate the ticket to the public price. This basically amounts to the person using the student ticket paying the University an additional $40-$55.</p>
<p>I assume that’s just in the case of non-students right? Students are still seated according to seniority. In the case of non-students, I agree with dynamic pricing.</p>
<p>Because even though I’ve been a Michigan fan my entire life, know more about the team than the vast majority of students, and I’m finally a Sr that has had to deal with the crappy seats the last 3 years, that isn’t good enough anymore.</p>
<p>Now I need to get up early as **** just so I can wait in line for hours so I can sit close up…</p>
<p>Back in my day, seniority and effort were both factors. The section was determined by seniority, but the actual seats were on a first-come first-served basis.</p>
<p>So, I’m sure you will all have heart attacks when I tell you that when I moved into East Quad in January of 1977, I thought U-M, Mich State, and Mich Tech U were just different ways of naming the same school and couldn’t figure out how everyone would get so excited about an intramural scrimmage with “Mich State”. I entered Mich stadium once, saw the crowd, and left. Sold my tickets the rest of my time at U-M and used the money for pocket change as I don’t remember anyone offering me significant $ for them. I used to hide in the UGLI on Saturdays to avoid the nasty crowds. Go Blue!</p>
