If ND (fat chance) and USC are both undefeated when they meet...that ticket price will be through the roof.

I remember in 2005 when USC was undefeated and ND was 4-1...the ticket prices for good seats were $3,000 and up on stub-hub. Crazy.

It's not like Denard is a prolific passer, but Junior Hemingway isn't around to catch jump balls anymore, decent tight end Koger graduated, Darryl Stonum decided he would rather Mario Kart around town than play college football, and Roy Roundtree just had his knee scoped. I don't really know the depth chart, but that seems like a mess.

It's gonna be ugly in Arlington.

Average Listed Ticket Price


Stupid way to gauge it. Do you compare list prices of cars?

For the 2006 TX/tOSU game, ESPN talked about "$800 tickets." I scalped one outside Schmidt's Pub that day for $300.

You can go to every single one of those games for half or less of the list price.

I was pretty surprised to not see this up there, then again it's USC fans and the Coliseum. If it was at Oregon I'd imagine it would probably be the most expensive ticket in the country.

It's expensive to be a Bama fan these days.

Doesn't really account as the reason then considering this year they aren't supposed to suck with all the hype. During the good years last decade - they averaged 91,000 - with the seats available - yeah, you can get tickets.

Playing back at ND for the USC game is the really hard ticket to get.

i'm begining to think anyone that buys tix on stub hub is a moron. I know last year at this time tix for LSU Oregon were outrageous on there, 500-600. Outside the stadium i saw plent going for face. Ever schmo with extra tix thinks he's gonna get rich scalping tix on stub hub.

I think some of it is the thinking if someone is stupid enough to pay me that much I will take the money and the chances of rebuying on site or maybe buying that new big screen TV.
