on stubhub none the less. I wonder if these tickets are from all the Ohio State and Nebraska fans that bought the tickets prematurely lol.

If U of M would have gone I would have been very tempted to go.

God MSU has a pathetic fanbase. They're what, 2 hours away?

Someone at work tried to tell me it was 10 hours away...I work 30 minutes south of Lansing. I was like, "What>!??!"

just did a quick mapsearch and its a little under 4 hours...pretty pathetic.

When I looked last night, the cheapest were $12. I was laughing hysterically. How pathetic!

LOL they won't be that cheap when Michigan goes there next year. Yes I'm calling it.

The MSU fans that I talk to say that they don't care and that the only thing that is important is that MSU sold out of its allotment...what? Why aren't they scooping up the other tickets? I can see why UW fans don't want to go, its like a 12 hour drive or a flight and the ones that like to travel are probably holding off for the bowl game. Meanwhile, Lansing is only 4 hours from Indianapolis and there are hundreds of tickets on ebay for less than 20 bucks...

This blog sums it up nicely. To be blunt, MSU and UW just don't have the cache to draw huge interest. Actually pretty terrible that they could not capitalize on the regional appeal as well. If this game featured a 10-2 U of M and a 10-2 OSU/PSU there would be more of a national interest and you could not touch a seat for less than $200 guaranteed.

It also doesn't help that this game was already played this year.

Do you really think it would have made one damn bit of difference if U of M and OSU were rematching a week later? The public would still be clamoring for tickets. One side looking for revenge and the other looking to make a statement. The fact the two teams already faced each other is irrelevant as this is a possibility each year in a championship game. It has 98% to do with the teams on the field and little else.

 

[mikeytbuckeyes]

My understanding is they are actually paying people to attend this game. Pathetic.

In light of how difficult it seems to be to fill the seats for these conference championship games, perhaps they should all follow the lead of Monty Python, and just give first prize to the girl with the biggest tits.
