I just noticed its buy 1 OU ticket, get 2 tickets to each of GS and ND games. So that's why the cost is more. 1 Quote Link to comment

There are two tickets to both North Dakota and Georgia Southern so it is five total tickets compared to four. Edit: @Red Five beat me to it. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 That's a weird deal for Oklahoma. What am I supposed to do, buy two of those packages, then sell the other double-tickets for GS & ND? Most people don't go to games alone. I wonder if there are only single seats available for the OU game? Quote Link to comment

You can't just buy a single game ticket to only the OU game through the ticket office. They are forcing you to also buy tickets to the GS and ND games. Pro teams do this all the time. If you want to buy a singe game tickets to the Viking/Packer game in Minnesota, you also need to buy a ticket to a preseason game. Quote Link to comment

My curiosity is what they expect people to do with Sooners tickets. People don't usually go to games alone. How do they get that second ticket? 1 Quote Link to comment

Buy 2 OU tickets for you and the missus, get 4 GS/ND tickets to take the whole family. 2 Quote Link to comment

I believe fans that aren't on the rolling train are doing the wait and see results before they spend their money on tickets. The sellout streak I don't believe is gonna stop any time soon. Well it already has after they gave away tickets last year to make it a "sell out " Quote Link to comment

84HuskerLaw Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 It doesn’t matter how the sell them or at what price beyond ‘nil’ I suppose. They’ve pretty much one price fits all the whole stadium for 50 years now. And we all know some are worth more than others in a fair market value sense. The price has always included a % that’s essentially a donation to the school. But one way or another somebody paid $$ for every seat (or moneys worth). I’d dare say probably a majority of seats are used by someone other than the buyer (family, friends, relatives, bus assoc, etc etc). i find it amazing they get more than double the FMV (street game day price) for so many seats with a team without a championship in 20 years! Fans are astoundingly supportive, despite the productivity/quality decline. Nebraskans love Husker sports and FB unlike anywhere else on the planet, imo. A massive stadium which seats about 4% of the entire population! Nowhere else comes close. GB packers sell well but I can’t think of anything that really compares in any sport. Quote Link to comment
