Just so people are aware, these prices are all on the resale market literally the day before this game, which was one of the most anticipated games in the history of Texas football. The original ticket prices are nowhere near this high. The entire season sold out before the season even started, but you can still buy tickets to several future games in the $200-$300 range

(Btw, this game was amazing. Beating the #1 team at home at the last second after losing to them 2 years in a row...chef's kiss)

    Ah, that's for the Longhorns' stadium. Makes sense.

    The people who can comfortably afford these tickets don't even watch the games.

    Maybe worthwhile and cheap rental property assuming the stadium has a dome.

    The answer is to stop buying them.

    Because of cropping, my brain read the team name as Chungusorns.

    No way in hell I'd pay more than $100 for a football game, that is just rediculus!

    I knows it’s not apples to apples, but my football (soccer) team were charging £40 for the first home game of the season and I just refuse to pay that much. £30 for me is the max I’d pay and that’s only for the “big” games like local derbies

    I've never understood how people can shell out that much for tickets to anything. Sit in uncomfortable seats for a couple hours then go home - what the hell is the attraction??

    There are enough people for whom $1000 is like $20 for you to fill stadiums.

    It’s a good gauge of changes in income inequality, because the supply is inelastic - the stadiums can’t expand to hold more people, but ticket prices can change according to what the top 1% are willing to pay.

    I'm glad my favorite bands sell tickets in the $20-50 range. Though I almost always get a T-shirt or something, and maybe a drink, the total night out is under $200. I just couldn't justify spending more than that.

    Haha oh let me really blow your mind - this is for an NCAA game. These ticket prices aren't even for pro team.

    What will it take for regular people to stop acting like they're temporarily embarrassed millionaires so they stop encouraging this shit?

    I don’t go to these type of events. Can anyone explain me if there is an actual difference between a 1k, 3k or 7k ticket which all seem to be in a similar non centralized area.

    I don't see any $7K tickets, but generally speaking, the closer to the field and the closer to the 50 yard line, the more expensive the seat. The exception is that narrow row between the lower and upper decks, which are suites where you have air conditioning, comfortable seats, and food/drink service.
